Once Two, Now Four

"Not all those who wander are lost." 

J.R.R. Tolkien

A little more than six years ago we started this site to share what - at the time - was the greatest pivot of our adult lives. We ditched careers, our downtown Chicago high rise and the comfort of routine and took off for the great unknown. We wandered far and long, covering 14 countries in two overseas runs, plus a few months of housesitting stateside. We farmed, we built, we laughed, we ate, we drank and we regularly got very, very lost.

The adventure certainly didn’t stop on our return. Soon after, we headed south to put down roots in the bayou and the game changed entirely. We became parents and the meaning of the unknown struck us with enormity.

While we haven’t changed, we are absolutely not the same. The two of us are now four - three human and one nearly - and we’re all on the ride of a lifetime together. Join us as we continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of life, always in search of how to live to our capacity and embrace the richness and vulnerability of each day. We still love to eat and explore, and though we’re still not sure where the road will take us, we know we’ll have incredible stories to share along the way.
