Why We Travel

Travel is part of our family’s DNA—rooted in love, culture, and a desire to live fully now, not someday. From reconnecting with Alina’s Romanian roots to exploring new landscapes, we see travel as both legacy and learning. We believe in doing hard things for epic payoffs—climbing trails, chasing vistas, and savoring slow mornings after bold adventures. These trips are our mini-retirements, our memories in motion, and the stories we’ll tell forever.
