About

We’re Judy and Kevin, full-time travelers who left behind corporate careers, sold nearly everything, and hit the road in 2022 with just carry-ons and a backpack each. We share not just where we go, but how travel changes us—the surprises, challenges, and deeper purpose we’re discovering—and what freedom, belonging and joy really mean. If you’re dreaming about your next chapter or wondering what’s possible, you’re in the right place. What you'll find here: 👉 What it’s really like to live across cultures, climates, and continents, not just visit them 💰 Transparent cost breakdowns in every destination 🏛️ Local stories and history that bring places alive 👋 What it means to feel at home anywhere—even without a home base Why Finding Gina Marie? In 2021 Judy reunited with her birth family at 55 years old. The name her Italian birth mother gave her, Gina Marie, and her emotional story sparked this channel and this new way of life. Wander more. Worry less. Bring a passport. ❤️ Judy & Kevin
