We’re RiAnne + Clay!

We made the leap to quit our jobs & pack up everything we own to travel full-time starting in May 2024! This dream originated with Clay early in his college career. Fortunately for me (RiAnne), that dream was extremely contagious, and I soon adopted it as my own. After 3 years of daydreaming and many weekends spent planning, we’re excited to be making that dream a reality!

Our goal is to experience as much of the world as possible during our trip while spreading love and positivity along the way. Through our travels, we aim to inspire others by showing that you don’t have to wait until you’re retired to start living the life you dream about!

We met at the University of Southern Mississippi in 2019 and tied the knot in April 2023. For the past three years, we've called Kansas City home. When we aren’t travel planning, we love hiking, exploring, cooking, and coffee-shop hopping!
