Our Story

Our story began in 2015 when we met, and if you had asked either of us back then, neither of us would have described ourselves as "travel people." Growing up, we didn't travel much, so seeing the world wasn't something we ever imagined would become a big part of our lives.

Our first adventure together was a 17-hour road trip from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Orlando, Florida, in 2016. It wasn't glamorous, but it sparked something.

We got married in 2018, and about a year later, Ashtyn casually mentioned, "I've always wanted to go to London or travel abroad." Tyler's response was simple: "Why don't we?”

So we did.

In May 2019, we boarded a plane for our first international trip to London and Paris. It didn't take long to realize we had caught the travel bug. What started as one dream trip quickly turned into a passion for exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and creating memories together.

Fast forward to today, and we've explored 14 countries and 17 states together as a couple. Then our greatest adventure began: becoming parents. Our son, Everett, quickly earned the title of our little adventure buddy, and since then the three of us have traveled to 6 countries and 8 states together. He's proof that you don't have to put your adventures on hold after having kids, you just get to experience them in a whole new way.

Travel has changed more than our passport stamps. It's shaped how we think about money, priorities, and the life we want to build together. We've learned how intentional budgeting with points and miles can open doors to experiences we once thought were out of reach.

This site is where we share those adventures, big and small, along with practical travel tips, points and miles strategies, and personal finance lessons that have helped our family explore more while spending smarter. We hope our story inspires yours.
