About

Hi! We are Kirby and Nolan and we decided to leave our jobs, sell our stuff and travel the world. Are we crazy?! Probably, but read on to find out a little about the how, when, where and why...

We have been in the working world for nearly 10 years (and happily married for two of those) but decided we needed a change. We were working crazy/demanding jobs in New York City, living unhealthy lifestyles and found that we were in a stage of depression because we weren't living our lives to the fullest. Sprinkle in a little bit of fear/anxiety about the idea of settling down and starting a family and we were just about ready to go crazy.

Fast-forward to the start of 2017...Nolan had a minor health-scare, got fired from his job and we knew it was a sign! We had to make a change, and a drastic one at that, to get our lives back on track and to begin leading happier and healthier lives. So Kirby gave her notice and the planning began...

We decided we would sell as many of our belongings as we could, pack two carry-ons (yes this was very difficult) and embark on a journey to explore as much of the world as possible. Despite being extreme-planners, we decided we would have no agenda, no itinerary and would just go as fast or as slow as we wanted. So we set a budget, enlisted the help of our friends and families to watch over our dogs and bought a one-way ticket to Iceland to begin our journey.

It is entirely possible we may only last two weeks living out of backpacks or maybe we travel for ______. We honestly have no idea and likely won't know until we finally get on the road. At the end of the day, we decided to do this in hopes that we learn a ton about the world, meet lots of interesting people and maybe in the process discover who it is we are supposed to be. However long we last trying to satisfy our wanderlust, we are hopeful we will return a better, calmer and happier version of ourselves.

We love exploring, photography and most importantly being with each other. We hope you enjoy the photos, content and experiences we share as we go. Feel free to drop us a line anytime on our contact page or follow us on Instagram. Who knows, maybe we can even convince at least one other person to contemplate taking a similar plunge...
