in 2018 we sold almost

everything we owned to

follow our dreams and

build out a tiny home on

wheels.

little did we know how much this decision would change our lives.

at first we had no idea how to actually build our tiny home on wheels when we started…

we had no plumbing, electrical, or carpentry experience.

before…

It started with a blank slate, a vision, and a 9 months of figuring things out along the way.

after…

Our van turned into a beautiful and functional home that allows us to travel, explore, & hike around the U.S.

now we travel around the world, by van or by foot, in search of adventure and to learn what it truly means to feel alive.

so how did we make it all happen?

Here’s a peak inside who we are and why we chose to give out a ‘normal’ life for one that is filled with adventure.

chief video editor & van driver

Cool things about me…

There will never be enough chips and salsa to keep me satisfied
I prefer corn tortillas
My love for tacos is nearly as strong as my love for travel

Some other cool things about me….

I’ve been a traveling audio engineer, tour, and production manager for about 20 years. After the tour industry went downhill in 2020 it gave me the opportunity to think about how I could put all my skills together and find new ways to make money. When we realized I wouldn't be touring again anytime soon, Crystal and I decided we’d just “make me a job”. And that’s exactly what we did.

Now I’m trying this Youtube thing out and get to merge my love of travel, sound, and video production together in a new way. So far I think it’s going pretty well.

travel coordinator & smoothie addict

Interesting things about me…

Smoothies are my favorite food group
I’ve lived out of a car and a bread truck before I started van life
I actually like the word “moist”

Besides the above, I’m also a serial entrepreneur and long-time health food fanatic. My health was a disaster for about 20 years before I found a healer that introduced me to food as medicine. I went from being a chronic dieter with multiple eating disorders along with a long list of health issues to reversing all my conditions naturally.

My goal while I was ‘sick’ was to travel around the world and experience as much of life as possible while here on Earth. So that is exactly what I’m doing now. #dreamcometrue

we believe in the power every single person has to create a life of adventure and passion.

that is what we are here to help you do!

Our lives and careers have both been very different from the “norm” and it’s given us a different perspective and a unique ability to help others do the same.

Even if you…

feel you can’t afford van life or traveling internationally
don’t have a job that allows you to travel full-time
have been told by your parents, friends, or co-workers that living in a van is crazy, dangerous, or irresponsible
feel nervous, or even terrified, about traveling alone for the first time
want to travel full-time but aren’t sure where to begin
