“Never get so busy making a living that you never make a life.” The words of our motto greet every visitor to the LifeBalance website, and live on the wall in our office. They inspire us to action, and also to reflection. What are you doing in life, right now? What experiences might enrich and enhance your life? Will you take time to make those experiences?

Our team thrives on connecting members to life-enhancing experiences. As you may have guessed from our annual Getaway Contest, travel is something our team loves to do! So here’s a run-down of some of the getaways our team has enjoyed recently:

 

DAVE

In summer 2017, LifeBalance Co-Founder Dave Miller and his family took a trip through the Rocky Mountains, visiting Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. They continued on to Dave’s home state of Michigan, where they enjoyed 4th of July fireworks from a boat on Walloon Lake.

 

KEVIN

Back in August 2017, our Technical Product Manager Kevin Foster traveled to Odda, Norway (a beautiful little mountain village about 5 hours from Oslo) to hike “Trolltunga” – the trolls tongue.  Trolltunga was about 17 miles round trip with about 3000 feet of elevation gain. It was a grueling, but stunningly beautiful hike through terrain that seemed like it was out of another world.

 

PAUL

In August 2017, LifeBalance Co-Founder Paul Alati and his family traveled to San Diego for a vacation, and to watch their daughter play in the Surf Cup Soccer Tournament. The trip included great family time on Coronado Island, at the beach in Carlsbad and Pacific Beach, kayaking and biking around San Diego, and watching their daughter and her team as they won the tournament!



NICOLE

In April 2017, our Communications Director Nicole Birch, and her boyfriend Andy, visited Thailand. On one incredibly photogenic portion of the trip, they took a boat from mainland Thailand to the jungle island of Koh Chang. The two admired the lush views and snapped pictures while touring the island by scooter.

 

ERIN

Our Vice President of Client Services Erin Kennedy and her husband Jon took their baby boy, Benjamin, on his first trip to the Oregon Coast in February. The weather was cold and overcast, so they spent time swimming in the pool at the Hallmark Inn, warming up by the fire, and admiring the ocean from the warmth of their room.



OLIN

In January, our Member Services Representative Olin Stickler took a trip to Aspen, Colorado to catch up with old friends and shred the ski slopes. Colorado was in the midst of a historic snowfall shortage, but as luck would have it, several inches fell during the trip, and conditions turned from bad to wonderful overnight!
