MARAE, ROGER, ALASKA, & ATLAS

We met in remote Alaska in 2013 and quickly discovered we shared more than love – we shared wanderlust. After two years of trying to squeeze adventures into corporate vacation days, we made a bold choice: we quit our "dream" jobs to become seasonal workers, trading security for freedom. Seasonal work led to full-time travel, which evolved into building our digital nomad business. By 2019, we were working from anywhere with just our laptops, turning our travels into our livelihood. In 2020, Alaska joined our adventures, and instead of slowing us down, she made us braver. At 5, she's now explored 26 countries and speaks multiple languages. Baby Atlas arrived in 2024 and at 14 months has already visited 14 countries. Currently based in Spain, we're proving that family life gets richer with adventure, not smaller.
