Traveler. Mom. Wife. Entrepreneur. Writer.

Tommy and I met in Austin in summer 2002. We bonded over our distaste for coconut and love for travel. Not much, but enough that we dated long distance for over 4 years and ended up married in 2008.

In 2007 I started a business with my father. Tommy joined the business in 2009, and then the family sold the business in April 2010. We then headed out to explore the world for 16 months with just our backpacks and a couple changes of clothes.

After we got home, we managed to continue our adventures, mostly in the Austin area with some trips here and there. We opened a new business together and had three kids. Oh, and moved three times. And sold a business. Well, we aren't afraid of major life changes.

We have started traveling again with the kids, who are now 7, 5 and 1 with as many trips as we can fit into the elementary school schedule. Our love for travel hasn't changed, but we have adapted to traveling with kids and finding adventures at home in parenting.
