Hello! We're Justin and Christina.
A decade ago we took our first trip abroad together, and ever since, we've been bitten by the travel bug. In 2025, we visited our 20th country as a couple, and our 17th country as a family. (Our daughter joined the adventure in 2019.)
Justin is a graphic designer and I (Christina) am a teacher. We both still work full-time and enjoy the weeks every year that we get to travel to a new location together.
Christina does most of the trip planning, while Justin does most of the driving on road trips.

OUR TRAVEL STYLE
We are equally as comfortable hiking a mountain as we are visiting a museum. We try to balance our touristy activities with more authentic experiences. Justin hates lines (and crowds), so when we visit popular cities (Rome, Paris, Salzburg), I research skip the line passes.
Every trip we take balances time in nature with time in the city, although we prefer the former. We avoid tours unless they will help us see an area more quickly and with greater ease than we could on our own.
We stay in B&Bs, hotels, and, if we're up for toting our tent, at campsites. Ever since our daughter was born, we stay wherever our points will take us.
We try to take 3-4 trips a year.
