We’re Leaving the US for a Year to Travel

The countdown is officially on.

On August 27th, we’re grabbing our backpacks and catching a one-way flight to Colombia to begin a year of travel through South America and Europe.

On August 27th, we’re grabbing our backpacks and catching a one-way flight to Colombia to begin a year of travel through South America and Europe.

This hasn’t been a sudden decision. It’s something we’ve talked about for years, a dream that always lived in the background while we were raising kids, building careers, and juggling the daily stuff of life. But now, with all five of our kids officially launched, it’s time. Not to dream about it. To actually do it.

Our first big leap was selling our home and downsizing from 26 years of parenting and life with kids into a small loft apartment in downtown Denver. We spent a year there, giving our youngest time to adjust to college life and giving ourselves space to figure out what was next.

And now we know.

We’re choosing curiosity over comfort, presence over routine. This trip isn’t about ticking off destinations. It’s about growing, reconnecting, and making room for the parts of ourselves that got tucked away in the thick of parenting.

If you’ve ever wondered what life after raising a family could look like, we hope you’ll follow along. We don’t have it all figured out, but we’re not waiting for perfect. We’re just going.

The adventure is about to begin and we’re so glad you’re here for it.
