Drive The Americas – After quitting our jobs and selling everything we said goodbye to friends, family and the D.C. area hit the road. Our little road trip has been one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever done, and we feel fortunate to wander these foreign roads and new ideas together.
Even if we began today, and traveled every day for the rest of our lives, we would experience only a fraction of the people, culture and beauty this world has to offer. We will always be TravelAmateurs.
That time Jenna and I bathed with strangers and learned that driving in Colombia is a bit different than we expected. Is that a baby in the road???
Somewhere out there was a finca in a beautiful valley with the opportunity for Spanish lessons, permaculture and yoga; three of the very things we had been searching for.

With Tortuga in a shipping container and all the good boats booked, we called an audible and decided to sail the San Blas with our family.
Fueled by groupthink, alcohol and the hyptnotic sounds of “Bailando” pouring from someone’s phone, these jackals have somehow convinced me that this is a good idea…
