Over the past 5 years, our travel blog has taken us to some of the most incredible destinations worldwide.

A few of our favorites being:

- Easter Island
- French Polynesia
- Svalbard
- Kyrgyzstan
- Chamonix, France
- Esperance, Australia

While it took us YEARS to figure out how to make money from a travel blog, once we learned how, the route to success became pretty straightforward.

And the best part is that we don't have to use Instagram or TikTok to make it work 🙅‍♀️ (other than for entertainment purposes, we are never on Instagram or TT)

To date, we've helped thousands of travel bloggers start, grow, and make income from their websites, too.

I'm hosting three live workshops this week (all with the same content), to share the 3 Secrets To Exponentially Grow Your Travel Blog in 2024.

Several years ago, one of our blog posts went viral, grabbing the attention of more than 70,000+ people in the span of 3 days 🤯

In the years that followed, we took this post off our website because we just didn't have the time to fix it up and keep it up-to-date... until NOW!

If you've ever wondered how to travel the world for less, whether you're young or older than young, you have to check out our post: How To Travel The World When You're A Broke Young Adult

Want to know how we fly free to destinations around the world?

Airline points!

From Kauai to Spain to New Zealand and everywhere in between, we've saved tens of thousands of dollars on flights by using airline points strategically.

There are VARIOUS ways we earn airline points (not just by opening up new credit cards), and we've detailed them in our latest blog post:

We're going to show exactly how we earn hundreds of thousands of airline miles with and without credit cards and how you can, too.

Over the past few years, we've been able to stay in THREE overwater bungalows in French Polynesia and the Maldives. And while most would think this must cost a fortune, we stayed in them for nearly FREE.

We created a guide on how we are able to stay in these type of accommodations for free and I'll leave the link to the guide in the comments below!

We are often asked, "which country has the best food?"

While we haven't been everywhere, this is OUR experience with food around the world (saving the best for last):

7. Spain (tapas)
6. France (anything sweet)
5. Ecuador (fritadas)
4. Kyrgyzstan (manti)
3. Italy (everything, but specifically gelato 🤤)
2. Thailand (everything, but specifically khao soi)
1. Greece (by far our favorite country for food - again everything is amazing, but greek salads are 😍)

Where have you been that has the BEST food? Comment below + add a picture if you have one!

Our Story

Full-time travelers, husband and wife, digital nomads, part-time RVers, travel hackers, avid hikers, etc, etc. But in short, we are Mike & Laura.

Mike is originally from Ohio and I’m from Minnesota. We both ended up in the tiny ski-town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and met while working at an Irish pub.

After spending several years working in a tourist town, we were ready for change. Although we loved hiking the beautiful trails in northern Colorado, we wanted to expand our horizons and hike beautiful trails all over the world.

In April 2017, we saved $25,000 in five months, bought a fifth wheel, and transitioned to life on the road. And that is where it all started.
