Hi! We’re Catherine and Kevin. If you made it to this page, though, you almost certainly already know that. Let’s be honest, why else would you be reading this? Anyway, we will pretend you don’t.
Shortly after we met at a Manhattan bar in 2015, we discovered our mutual dream of living abroad at some point in our lives. It is something that a lot of people want to do, but not many follow through on. We promised ourselves that we would be different. From then on it became a constant point of conversation, and a long term goal. After years of a planning and dreaming, we got married in 2021 and finally both quit our jobs. Catherine formerly managed the Facebook account of a race car driver and Kevin sold Band-Aids. Both of us somehow felt unfulfilled.
After finally taking the leap of leaving our traditional jobs, we packed up our apartment in San Diego, fit everything worth keeping (Peloton bike, sofa, exorbitantly expensive coffee table, and countless seasonal pillows) into a 10×10 storage unit, and hit the road. After a few months spent in our childhood bedrooms worrying about Covid and doing final preparations, we left the States on March 1st, 2022 for our first stop in Dubai.
With Catherine’s burgeoning social media skills and Kevin’s “useless” English degree, we plan on making a formidable ripple on the internet by attracting dozens and dozens of friends and family to this website to celebrate our misadventures.
We hope you enjoy following along!
