Who Are We?

Yoohoo! We are Yami and Colton, your local Midwest couple who decided to leave the peaceful view and consistency of central Wisconsin and take the leap to explore the world! Are we crazy? Maybe just a little bit. But who isn’t? We are both engineers by trade, love playing local sports (think rec bar league volleyball and softball), and are always down for a themed party! Guaranteed to go all in! 😉

We met back in 2018 at your local trivia night, where we found out we worked for the same company! Soon the rainbow and butterflies appeared, and the rest is history! Fast forward 5.5 years and we are now hubby and wifey, own a house, and have a fur baby!

Why travel???

Since we’ve met, we have traveled to 7 countries (Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Punta Cana, France, Spain, and Italy) and 7 states (Colorado, Texas (Yami’s hometown! Let’s GOOO ASTROS! ), Nevada, Tennessee, Illinois, Minnesota, and Michigan). We truly love exploring different places and decided we should give ourselves the opportunity to fully explore the world!

We gave up our BIG BOY/GIRL jobs in the summer of 2024 to fully commit to this opportunity. Is it ever the right time? No, but we’re doing it anyways! We initially thought about working overseas but couldn’t pick a place to make the change to… so settled on just going everywhere with no commitment or responsibility (like a job) to hold us back.

After our wedding in March 2024 (I know.. Colton is definitely lucky to have tied me down. Haha) we felt confident with our savings plan that led us to pulling the trigger to purchase tickets to our FIRST destination! (ICELAND!) I know what you’re asking yourself… How are we going to afford this? We each saved $25,000 in hopes that it lasts us 1 year! Don’t worry, we have back up-back up-back-up savings to be safe!

We don’t quite know what we signed up for, but we DO know that whatever comes our way it’ll be an experience of a lifetime that we can’t wait to learn from and share with you all!
