Mission: Sharing World Exploration

A Little Bit About Us

Together for more almost 30 years, we didn’t really start travelling as a couple until 2016. Since then, we’ve definitely caught the bug. In 2021, we did this little thing where we sold the majority of our belongings, threw caution to the wind, and started our journey to see as much of the world as we possible could. 

You may be wondering, “are they crazy?” The answer is yes, just a little bit. We’re also the people who packed everything up to move halfway across the country (with two elementary aged daughters) to a place where we knew no one. We managed it, and managed to have fun. And we’re still having fun.

The previously mentioned daughters are now grown, and – more importantly – out of our house and independent, so we decided to take a huge leap and do something wild.

We appreciate that you’ve taken a look at our page and joined our journey. We hope you enjoy the ride; we’re hoping that we will, too.
