From The Matterhorn to Mt. Otemanu

Our brand, our logo, our love!

I wanted the inaugural post to be about the who, what and why!!!!

We’re opening the door to our lives; fully aware that this might start feeling like work instead of fun. But hey, if it helps you avoid a travel meltdown (we’ve had a few!), then it’s worth it.

Who are we?

Jaimee and I are native Californians; met at a church dance in 1996 and have been in love for nearly 30 years, our family is blessed to have 1 daughter and 3 sons, 2 inlaws and 2 grandchildren. We love to travel, play sports (especially tennis), all things outside, spend time with family and work hard so we can play hard. We have a family motto to parallel this. "Seays Do Hard Things!"

What do we want to share?

We want to share the obvious, like a regular travel blog, but also keep it "real". The theme is "no filters" for pictures, tips and advice!

Why are we doing this?

We are tired of living in a "filtered" world and want to show what we see, not a distorted reality. We feel like we have learned a few things that we can share with others (big believers of paying it forward and karma). We have traveled to a ton a places and still have more to conquer. Chronicling our past trips and logging trips to come is also a great way to relive the memories.

A couple of quick (unfiltered) pics from our favorite trips over the years

Jaimee and I in Zermatt, Switzerland (Matterhorn)

Mount Otemanu -Bora Bora - French Polynesia - from the plane

Where it all started - We decided to do a quick cruise to Ensenada with the kids instead of Christmas presents some time ago!
