We’re RiAnne + Clay!

Our Story

We took 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 and encourage others to adventure. You don’t have to wait until you’re retired to start living the life you dream about!

We met in college in 2019 and got married in April 2023. We lived in Kansas City for the last 4 years, where we worked and saved up money for our trip!

I worked as a Social Media Manager, and Clay was a Sales Manager– we both loved our jobs, and it was so hard to leave them!

We packed up EVERYTHING we owned (which is now stored in our parents’ attic), and hit the road!
