ABOUT ME

We are Megan and Chris, two adventurous souls in search of a life full of love, travel and enlightenment. Both of us are from Louisiana, where there's never a shortage of seafood, boudin and drive-thru daiquiri spots. On our 2011 honeymoon to Costa Rica we made a decision to get off the mundane hamster wheel that was our life and get out into the world and explore. We were no longer interested in working the almighty 9 to 5, only looking forward to a sprinkling of weekends and one vacation a year. We wanted more out of life and needed to get rid of those material possessions that were weighing us down to do so. In September of 2012 we said good-bye to our house, cars and big screen; and hello to a future that is unwritten. Our pursuit is no longer for possessions, but about the experiences and cultures that we have the potential to grow and learn from.

PHILOSOPHY

Find something you truly love in life and go for it. Don't let the world knock you down. You only have one life, so live it to the fullest.
