About Us

We’re just an average family of 5, 2 working parents (PA – Physician Associate and IT project manager) – 3 kids .. with a super over scheduled and busy life. So we’ve decided we should change it up a little (or even a lot).

We took our first travel/gap year in 2017 when the kids were 3, 7 & 10 and we’re going again in 2023 (kids 7, 11, & 15). This time we’re adding in some business side adventures.

So take a look around, share if you find something helpful. We hope our website inspires, informs and helps think outside the box.
