As of March 2026, Norika and Noah have visited 17 countries together! (England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Germany, France, Croatia, Greece, Slovenia, Italy, the Netherlands, Malta, and Guatemala)
Norika and Noah have climbed eleven 14'ers together (Mt. Princeton, Mt. Yale, Mt. Harvard, Mt. Columbia, Mt. Shavano, Tabeguache Peak, Mt. Antero, Mt. Sneffels, Mt. Blue Sky, Mt. Bierstadt, and San Luis Peak)
Time wise: Three years, while Noah was finishing his PhD at Stanford and Norika was working in Denver. Distance wise: Roughly 7,913 km / 4,917 miles, for six months when Noah moved to Germany while Norika was still...working in Denver.
A dog named Sierra, two cats named Ezio and Django, and a fluctuating (though somewhat stabilized) fish and shrimp aquarium population.
We don't know yet! But come visit us in Germany!
Norika and Noah love their families, but would like them to stop asking this question until at least after the wedding.
