Our Story
And what he (they) greatly thought, he (they) nobly dared. – Paraphrased from Homer
Is seven years of dreaming, overthinking, cautiously planning, and sneakily procrastinating (with a dash of Covid delay) noble? Probably not.
But after running through roughly a million ‘what could go wrong’ scenarios, we decided to focus on ‘what could go incredibly right‘ and finally set off on the adventure of a lifetime—traveling around the world!
Okay, so the ‘around’ part will mostly be a loop through Southeast Asia, with some spontaneous detours like Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
Here’s to epic journeys and slightly fewer ‘what ifs’!
I’m beyond grateful to…
“My” People – Suzi and Lisa, you two are my fearless champions! Every race prep run with you was a pep talk in disguise. Suzi, yes, I believed your threat to drive from NC to NJ and drag me to the airport if I chickened out! You both kept my dreams alive—and taught me that maybe the impossible just needs a running start!
My Industry Colleagues – Julie, Tom, Miriam, I owe you for connecting me to other global travelers!
Travelers Everywhere – To all the generous globetrotters who took my endless questions with grace—thank you for showing me the ropes and the shortcuts!
Homeschooling Heroes – Audrey, Andy, Emily, and Olya, you made homeschooling on the road feel not just possible but enjoyable. If we survive math while traveling, it’s thanks to you!
