About Us
Who Are We
Some of you might only know one of us, so please allow us to introduce ourselves.
-
A goofball, nerd, lover of all things sci-fi, and “the practical one”.
If you don’t know Ryan, you might think he is quiet, reserved, and aloof.
If you know Ryan you know he is smart, sarcastic (read: sassy), and chill.
-
Lover of all things order and chaos, a planner, organizer and “the overthinker”.
If you don’t know Viv, her eyes might make you think she doesn’t like you (you might only be half wrong…she doesn’t like many people).
If you know Viv, you know she is caring, clever, and not afraid to tell you the truth.
What Are We Doing
In short, we are leaving our home and work behind for a year of travel.
Our goal is not solely to travel through every continent and go around the world. We want to experience everyday life and living in places that are not Houston (or America).
The most common question we get is, “Are you going to work?” We have saved what we think is enough that we won’t have to work full time for roughly one year, but that is just an educated guess. As a full time freelancer, Viv will still work some from the road. Ry will use this time to take a much deserved break and take some time to explore and learn about food and culture in a different way.
Here is what we know:
We have a basic plan that we know and like. We mostly know what city we will be in, when.
We are also very good at winging it. Whatever we don’t know we will figure out and whatever we encounter we will work through.
We are a superb team in travel and life and could not be more sure about this.
Everything else is for us to learn along the way.
What’s With The Website
This is our way to keep our friends and family updated on our adventure.
We are not trying to become influencers or famous travel bloggers. We are not one’s for social media (though we will try to do a bit better on Instagram), and Viv will notoriously text you back in 5 minutes or 5 weeks so we needed a better system.
We hope to keep it mostly updated with our general whereabouts (best laid plans) so be sure to bookmark this and check in with us from time to time!
Stay updated.
We might send email updates from time to time. Fill out this form to get on the list.
