“What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly?” ― Rumi
Who We Are
Welcome to Livology! In 2013, we sold all of our belongings and hit the road with our three young children and five carry-on bags. After traveling to over 30 countries, 20 states, and counting, the real adventure continues to be following our inspiration and being mindful about appreciating each day together as it unfolds.
When we met many years ago, we dreamed of using the world as our classroom. Since the inception of that dream, we have earned our M.Ed, taught high school, owned and operated many of our own businesses, from executive coaching to restaurants, and real estate. Through it all our focus is living in alignment with our core values, vision, and purpose, which we practice daily.
What We Offer
Our mission is to have an intentional and deliberate life by continuing to live it ourselves!
We don’t use stock photos, AI-generated mindfulness practices, or face filters. All of our travel stories are based on our own experiences. We are not perfect and we have no desire to appear that way. We are sharing our practices gathered from around the world with you because we believe it makes us all stronger to do this together.
We hope our stories will resonate with you no matter where you are on your personal journey. We would love the opportunity to contribute to fulfilling your dreams, so we started Livology.
