Our @jessalfrancis kicked butt in her criterium race in Brisbane last night. Jessa is beyond impressive. She is going to be competing in the National Championships this week and we’ll be cheering her on through the TV.

We celebrated Grant’s birthday yesterday by taking the City Cat down the Brisbane River to Bulimba, where we lived 12 years ago and New Farm Park, our favorite park in the city. The City Cat is a great way to see Brisbane and we had a fun day visiting familiar places from long ago. ...

Happy New Year! We wish you all a healthy, peaceful and joyful 2022.

Click the link in our bio for a video that encompasses all our travels over the last 14 months, going backwards from December 2021 to October 2020.

We sold our home and set off from Charlottesville, Virginia on November 1, 2020. For the next 8 months, we traveled in Thelma and Louise, a 40-foot bus and a Jeep. We drove 10,000 miles through the U.S. and Mexico, visiting 11 national parks along the way and spending three months over the winter parked on the beach on the Baja.

We said goodbye to Thelma and Louise in Seattle in June 2021 and moved to Hanavave, a 38-foot Fountaine Pajot catamaran in Tahiti, French Polynesia. For the next four months, we lived aboard the boat, sailing Hanavave from Tahiti to Brisbane, Australia. During our voyage, we spent almost 30 days at sea. While at times difficult, this was an experience of a lifetime for our family.

Our year of travel was deeply transformative for us all both individually and collectively. We chose to sell our home and give ourselves the gift of stepping out of the mainstream to explore the world and ourselves. We emerged full of love and gratitude and with profound clarity on how we want to live and what we want for our kids and their future.

We hope to go forward as stewards of what's truly important: a deep connection to ourselves, each other and our world. We also intend to make our choices with a deep respect for the planet.

While we are now settling in Australia, we will never stop traveling. ...

We had the most amazing couple of days with the White Family at Bald Blair Angus Farm in Guyra, NSW. Not only is this farm incredibly picturesque, but the way the White Family cares for it and its animals is a privilege to witness. ...
