Hi, We're Melissa n' John!
We’re explorers, digital content creators and lovers of the raw natural earth. We’re here to show to how beautiful the world is and how you can explore it too!
Melissa, who grew up in the city, and John in the suburbs, both of us were surrounded by asphalt, urban development and technology. We both collectively shared a desire to be more connected with nature. Our mission shifted from creating a life in suburbia to creating a life in nature around the world.
Our journey around the world began in 2022 during work permitted breaks which proved too limiting. In 2023, we both bid our employers adieu and built a new life around travel and want to show you how you can too!
Our life paths collided under a bus stop outside a concert venue in Coney Island. We were waiting for the venue to open and it began to rain and we both took shelter. A small conversation sparked a whole new adventure.
After only knowing each other for less than a month, John asked Melissa to be his girlfriend atop a ferris wheel and both strengthened the bond.
Melissa's desire came true to experience the Night Lights event when she surprised John with tickets and both got to watch lanterns fly away into the night sky.
Melissa built up the courage to go on her first solo trip to explore the island of Maui in Hawai'i on a solo trip
John & Melissa moved into their first apartment together.
Melissa and John embarked on their first aviation adventure together to the Big Island of Hawai'i. Beaches and Volcanos dominated this trip.
Having climbed the retail ladder from store associate to store manager in a short while, Melissa put her self worth before the demands of a toxic work place and bravely gave her notice of leave.
Eager to see more, John requested time-off from his employer to travel to Mexico for a mere TWO weeks but got a taste of international travel.
Following the footsteps of Melissa, John too gave his resignation to create a new life together unrestricted and free.
Free of restrictions and constraints from employers, bosses, etc, Melissa and John began touring the world amassing a total of 12 countries by the end of 2023.
