We are Barb and Justin, a couple who loves luxury travel with our babies and rescue dachshund Louie. The Lifestyle of Us is a photo diary of our adventures in travel, food & wine, and wellness.
We always brought our two dachshunds Mia* and Louie on all our travels, and now we will bring babies and show how to travel in style with a dog and baby. We love to share our adventures and passions with others, both to inspire and inform. Our adventures take us to many different places, and we’re excited to share them with you.

THE LIFESTYLE OF US
We love to adventure as a family with our 2 babies and our rescue dachshund Louie. We enjoy luxury pet and family travel, food & wine, and wellness. This place is proof that you can travel in style with a dog and baby!
BARB
Barb loves to swim, bike, and run. She started running in 2010, and picked up triathlon not long after. In her dedication to fitness, you can find her hiking, kayaking, and skiing. Recently, Barb took up golfing– an adventure in progress. When not hitting the trails or the water, you can find Barb relaxing at the beach, or checking out a new Happy Hour with friends. Recent sweaty highlights include cycling the Ironman 70.3 Hawaii bike course, and the Gran Fondo Whistler with Justin and his father. Also, recent race highlights include the lululemon Seawheeze, Ironman 70.3 Canada, Las Vegas Rock and Roll half marathon, BMO Vancouver half marathon, and the Sun-Rype Okanagan half marathon. Eventually she will tackle the full Ironman distance, an ÖTILLÖ Swim Run, and a 50k ultra marathon.
JUSTIN
Justin is an avid to biker and runner, and skier. He started running in 2011, and got into cycling shortly after. When not on land, Justin enjoys Stand Up Paddle boarding on Lake Okanagan. When not being active, he scours for the best happy hours, or the newest Cab-Merlot release at the local wineries. Justin is also a basketball fanatic. He is usually glued to his NBA League Pass subscription, and has allegiance to the Portland Trailblazers (Rip City baby!) Recent sweaty highlights include many of the same races as Barb, but also the challenging Rock and Roll Las Vegas Full Marathon. Justin is looking forward to his first 25k trail race.
* After 9+ years of adventuring together, we lost our Mia to cancer in 2022. We love and miss her every day.
