The How and The Why

On our honeymoon in 2007, Dan and I made a pact that we would always consider ourselves "rich" in life if we stayed connected to the traveling spirit we established in our 20's. Back then, it seemed easy. We'd pour ourselves a glass of wine, relax into a daydream, and a few hours later our booking confirmations would be in hand. This time around, the decision seemed a little more daunting, the stakes a little higher, the costs a little greater. Yet almost twenty years later, we have re-committed to the pact we made so many moons ago with one significant alteration. In our wildest dreams, we could not have imagined that the desire to mobilize would become even greater as we would get to see wonder through the eyes of our children.

So in a nutshell here's our mission statement.

The WHY:
Because we can't think of anything that ignites or provokes us more
Because we view this as an invitation for our family to come together as a team and to foster resilience, adaptability, and world connection
Because we have come to truly understand that the only true moments we have are NOW

The HOW:
This decision needed a whole-hearted commitment from both Dan and I. A commitment to the idea and its purpose, to its implications, and in our perspective, of seeing it as an investment in human growth vs. a monetary drain. "The How" was more about mind frame than any of the other logistical details. (Although 24 hours out from this trip we are still caught up in the tangled logistics of it all!)

We invite you to join us in our traveling pursuits as we run down a life dream.
