What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly? ― Rumi
Who We Are
Welcome to Livology and thanks for stopping by. 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 taught high school, owned and operated many of our own businesses, from executive coaching, restaurants, and real estate.
What We Offer
Our mission has never changed: We will help you live a more intentional and deliberate life by continuing to live it ourselves!
We believe our stories will resonate with you no matter where you are in the world, or where you are in your personal journey. They are designed to be fun to read, thought-provoking, and inspiring. We would love the opportunity to contribute to the fulfillment of your dreams.
FREE: Sign up on our homepage and get inspirational stories for free. Join the global following now and embrace the adventure.
