“explore • connect • share” is the tagline on our travel vlogs because it sums up the reasons we love travel so much. It’s our travel philosophy, and even more important: it’s a lifestyle. The explore piece is pretty self-explanatory. And now we have these platforms via this blog, YouTube, and social media to share with even more people and build a community of fellow travel lovers! And once it’s safe again, we hope to connect with people in each location, to give you an insider’s perspective of the places we visit. This is the “connect” part of our philosophy, and the piece that we find the most fulfilling, so we can’t wait to share that with you.

hi! We’re Stephen and Andie, and like the rest of the world, we found ourselves in a holding pattern when the Coronavirus pandemic struck in Spring 2020. We were suddenly out of work – and we actually liked our jobs and wanted to be doing them! – and were struggling to figure out what to do. Once we settled in and realized the lockdown would be a long-term situation, we turned on the creative juices and started a new project: creating travel content! We started with vlogging on YouTube. We had no experience, basic equipment (our phones), and we had to teach ourselves how to shoot, edit, and the most terrifying of all: be on camera. But we learned as we went and here we are, officially travel vloggers and content creators! We hope you’ll check out our channel (and subscribe! ??), and visit this site and our social media regularly for updates and even more content from us. And if you do, send us a message and say hi!

Psssssst! If you want to be in the inner circle, sign up for our mailing list! We’ll send a weekly newsletter with our latest vlog, blog post, and upcoming travel plans. We’ll be looking to our subscribers for input on where to go and what to see when we’re there, so don’t miss your chance to help us plan our next adventures!
