We are Mike and Shantelle. Our love story began 5 years ago, when we met in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was an unlikely pairing between a Canadian and a Californian; but, after 3 years of long distance dating, we got married and cooked up the crazy idea to take career breaks and go on sabbatical. Our goal is to find inspiration through the people, places and experiences we encounter throughout the world.  

Throughout our courtship, we traveled on countless flights to visit one another and explore many interesting and unforgettable places. Some of our favorite memories are from traveling to locations near and far such as Sequoia National Forest, Vancouver BC, Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Toronto, Palm Spring, Aruba, Bahamas, Columbia, St Lucia, Antigua and Jamaica.  We have never been more excited about exploring all the beauty the world has to offer and can't wait to share it all with you!
