About Us


We are a fun-loving family who love a little adventure now and then [although the kids don't want to travel as much as they used to]. Eventually, there will be more mom/dad travel, but for now I'm traveling enough for all of us!! We were able to ski together in Austria and Japan last year, and I'm planning to take the boys disc golfing at the #1 course in the world (Norway)! 

There's a daddy who just started a new job and is able to work from home one day a week. He has enjoyed making so many things on his 3D printer, and might have filament in every color of the rainbow. He bakes delicious sourdough bread, adds garlic to everything, and fixes anything that breaks around the house.

He makes sure the boys are on track with their goals and keeps the bike tires aired up and the chains greased. He likes to travel internationally with his two wheels and doesn't mind making new friends along the way, especially with WarmShowers hosts.

There's a mommy who loves a bowl of yogurt with coconut and dark chocolate and especially enjoys riding both her road bike and her mountain bike. She retired from the classroom (although she still subs sometimes), and now enjoys her work as a Customer Service and Ramp Agent at the local airport as well as the travel benefits that come with the job!! She has visited 35 countries now and has a monster bucket list to accomplish before her 50th birthday!! 

She's the one who would most like to be permanently traveling, on trains, planes, boats, buses, tuk-tuks, and scooters...exploring and taking pictures and videos of everything she sees. She greatly enjoys traveling internationally and has been blessed with opportunities to raise awareness about humanitarian work in EthiopiaGuyanaHaiti, and Greece. She posts travel content on Instagram @nearerandfarther and can be reached by email at peteandbuzz{at}gmail{dot}com.

There's a nineteen-year-old who is wowing his professors in university this year, so far maintaining a 4.0 GPA!! He's taking a very full load of classes, but somehow they're usually still fun for him! He surely has found the right career path. He has been helping with campus sound and media, as well as composing epic songs in his free time. There will be a couple summer classes to take, but if all goes well, he'll be graduating with a bachelor's degree a couple weeks after his 20th birthday. What a cool kid!!

He still zooms around on his e-bike, loves photography and videography, and flies a FPV drone like a pro. Thankfully, he has a great group of friends, a very nice roommate, and grandparents close-by. His little brother has been able to fly down to visit a few times as well!

There's a seventeen-year-old who plans to start the Aviation Mechanics program this fall. He has been flying a whole bunch this year, preparing for his PPL. When he's not doing online coursework or logging flight hours, you can usually find him playing disc golf, either by himself or with a friend (or recently with a club where he placed first!). 

He still plays computer games with friends sometimes and hasn't given up the daily bowl of yogurt habit (neither have I)! Other pastimes include swimming in the pool and eating popsicles! 

Thanks for visiting -- hope you find some inspiration to live life well. :)
