Thousands of Miles from Home...

We are an American family living and traveling around the world. Join us as we share all our experiences of living abroad and hopefully some amazing pictures. Originally from Arkansas, we moved to Dallas, Texas for our careers and during our 7 years there were blessed with two beautiful daughters.  Andrew received an incredible expat opportunity that moved us Hamilton, New Zealand.

Discover Your Bucket List

Last week I made a decision to combine blogs (have started 3 since we moved) and create a place with all our travel, experiences and photos.  I plan to switch the others to private soon.  The process has taken some time to organize and move everything around. I will admit that there is a learning curve with the self hosted blog and it will take some time to sort all the posts. With our upcoming move to Sydney, I want to make a place for people to come and get ideas for their own travel.  I still have several recent experiences to write about and cannot wait to share!  Feel free to pop over and follow along either on the website or through social media.
