we’ve mentioned before about how much we love spontaneity, and that is something we have in common with Chelsea from Yours Truly, on Team Coffee of the IRLO Mashup race!

Adventure means so much to me in my life. I have become a lot more of a take-risks kinda girl since I have been with my boyfriend of two years. We have already done so much together and there is so much more to come! Last year alone, we travelled through Europe together for a couple months {backpacks and hostels kinda travelling, no flash hotels for these poor travellers! haha} and got to see so many beautiful countries, including Spain {our fave!}, Italy, France, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and a few more. We are now on our next adventure living on the other side of the world from where we met {which was in Vancouver, Canada}, in Auckland, New Zealand! Spontaneity and adventure will always hold a place in my heart, and I am forever grateful for the opportunities that adventure has presented me with!

anyone else a little jealous, or is that just us?

Chelsea also had this to say about the race:

One day I randomly decided to check out the #IRLOMashup to see what it was all about, and I instantly wanted to be part. Luckily, Tina was able to assign me a team {GO TEAM COFFEE!!!} to organize and now we have all become friends with lots of great ideas, it’s awesome! I am pretty excited that the mashup has already been such a success in the aspect of bringing us bloggers together.

it’s so awesome to hear you say that, Chelsea, that was one of our biggest goals in creating this whole thing – bringing people together in a fun way!

while we’re at it, it’s about time for a map update, no?!

don’t forget that the first challenge for the added prize is making a little video with the theme of your team name. as you’ve probably already seen, Julie from Team Playground made this awesome video. but really, it could be ANYthing! you get points just for doing the challenges, any bonus fanfare from others is your added reward for being creative

let’s see, how about a second challenge?

*think of a creative way to show your team spirit*
if you want to somehow mesh this with the video challenge, cool

we love seeing your amazing talents and creativity!!!
