About Us

Who We Are

During our first year dating, Andy visited Olivia in France after her semester studying abroad. There is nothing like travel as an ultimate compatibility test, pairing nonstop time together and pushing outside of comfort zones. The trip was amazing and laid a foundation for our relationship and travel together.

Now, we are married and continue to prioritize travel experiences with each other, friends and family. 

We value traveling and our community at home. We see and appreciate content written by full time travelers, but sometimes find it difficult to relate to as everyday people with limited funds and time off. We hope to provide insight from our perspective as people balancing travel with other regular life responsibilities.

We recognize that travel is a privilege. It can be difficult to travel while working and managing life tasks. Combining Andy’s talent for personal finance and Olivia’s planning skills, we hope to make travel more easily attainable through strategies shared on our website. 

Where We've Been

We believe in quality over quantity rather than rushing through countries to check a box.

We are fortunate to have experienced travel to destinations across the globe. Some of our favorite memories include:

  1. First trip together in France
  2. Teaching summer school in Honduras
  3. Honeymoon on Santorini and Naxos
  4. Food and cultural experiences in Morocco
  5. Travel with couple friends in Crete
  6. Building community at home in North Carolina

Our Values

Travel should:

  • Be enjoyable
  • Prompt learning and growth
  • Stay within financial means
  • Be respectful of others
