Our story began in 1996 when we started airline careers and began exploring the world on free flights.  Since then, travel has been a shared passion, which we’ve transformed into the lifestyle we lead today.

After a decade globetrotting on airline passes, we quit our jobs and set off on a 4.5-year sabbatical. At the center of our corporate pause was a 2.5-year 83k km overland expedition into wild Africa. Africa overland was a top item on our bucket list and taking the leap was a defining point in our evolution. A journey that gave birth to unforeseeable new opportunities and profoundly influenced who we are today.

After returning from Africa we traveled the Rockies before moving to Colorado and doubling down. Our sabbatical was a resounding success. On the other side we set about working down an ever-expanding bucket list that includes everything from living in Italy to sailing to the South Pacific.

Our latest chapter began in 2014 when we achieved location independence.

Location independence was a hard-earned goal on our bucket list. A proverbial holy grail that untethers us from constraints limiting our freedom to live, work, and play where we choose.

Since 2014, we’ve been on something of a travel binge – living in places like Cape Town, Buenos Aires, and Santa Barbara and traveling by motorcycles, backpack, expedition 4WD, sports car, and bicycles across five continents.

Looking ahead, we’re excited about what’s in store. Our bucket list is overstuffed with an inspiring mix of epic journeys, interesting places to live, and essential experiences. The challenge is trying to decide what’s next.

As we begin future chapters, we hope you’ll find inspiration in our journey and ideas to fill your bucket.
