Hi Friends! We're often asked why do we do this? Why do we vlog? Comments range from This seems like a lot of work to Who wants to hold a camera for their entire vacation? First and foremost this isn't work for us. Video takes time and effort but it's not work. It's a passion project, a way to connect with Stefanie and our combined effort to put a little joy in the world. We love video. We love travel. We love each other. Why not start a channel?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCSsMarWtqg Hey friends! (IRLers!) We receive a LOT of private emails, DMs and messages all over the net. The most common questions are How do you Travel so Often? Why are you always so happy? How did you get to this point in your life? We also get Do you fight a lot? I'll answer these and more below. But first it all boils down to our personal Mantra and mission: Life is too short to spend it at a desk. Truly.
Personal Triumphs and Cruising.
Phew. This is an emotional story for me. It's causing me grief just trying to write about it. Ok, deep breath, here goes... For more than a decade I've been really sick. Like frequent flier miles at the ER sick. Not knowing what it's like to go a day without vomiting sick. Coughing up blood on the regular sick. Doing laps at the ICU sick. You get it. At one point I looked up and I was on an ignorant amount of meds and was over 430lbs. I was in pain. I stopped sleeping. I was miserable, I wanted to die.

Of the handful of rotating questions that we're asked, this one comes up often:
It seems like you're traveling quite a bit. What's the deal? You dying or something? Did you win the lottery? What's going on? Why now?It's a fair question. Perception can be reality. We've always traveled quite a bit. For the longest time it was to various Disney parks as we were Disney Vacation Club members. I get it though, it looks like we're travelling quite a bit and people want to know how / why so they can do the same.
