We’re Judy and Kevin, full-time travelers who left behind corporate careers, sold nearly everything, and hit the road in 2022 with just carry-ons and a backpack each.
We share not just where we go, but how travel changes us—the surprises, challenges, and deeper purpose we’re discovering—and what freedom, belonging and joy really mean. If you’re dreaming about your next chapter or wondering what’s possible, you’re in the right place.
What you'll find here:
👉 What it’s really like to live across cultures, climates, and continents, not just visit them
💰 Transparent cost breakdowns in every destination
🏛️ Local stories and history that bring places alive
👋 What it means to feel at home anywhere—even without a home base
Why Finding Gina Marie?
In 2021 Judy reunited with her birth family at 55 years old. The name her Italian birth mother gave her, Gina Marie, and her emotional story sparked this channel and this new way of life.
Wander more. Worry less. Bring a passport. ❤️

Finding Gina Marie – Travel the World
We are wrapping up our time in Nelson, New Zealand. We appreciate all your wonderful and kind comments that we've been receiving to our recent videos. We have read every single one, but it's taking us some time to get responses out to you all. Please be patient with us because your comments truly are the lifeblood of our channel and we value each and every one!
Here's a sneak peek from our time at Abel Tasman National Park in Nelson!

We wanted to share a quick note about this week’s video. Our Hobart episode is coming next, but we decided to pause on releasing it just yet. Instead, we are sharing a more reflective conversation that felt important to have before moving on.
This week’s episode is about how people make hard decisions when there’s no perfect choice. It’s a reality of long-term travel that doesn’t get talked about much, and one we know many of you may relate to, whether you travel full time or not.
As we move through the holidays, we hope you’re finding moments of connection and rest with the people you love. And if this season is a hard one for you—for any reason—we see you. Hobart is coming next, and we can’t wait to share beautiful Tasmania with you. In the meantime, we hope you’ll watch this week’s episode with an open heart.
Wishing you peace this holiday season,
Judy & Kevin

We had so many sweet moments in Melbourne. And while we knew that our time in Tasmania and New Zealand would be a bit faster than we prefer and it's been incredible so far, our production schedule has taken a hit. We hope you bear with us a little longer as this week’s video is delayed. We wrap up Rotorua today and then head to Nelson, New Zealand for Christmas and New Year's, and that should give us a bit more breathing room as we head into 2026. We are so appreciative of your patience and support. We'll be releasing our Melbourne video soon, so stay tuned (and help the algorithm out and watch it when we are able to send it out!). We wish you all the happiest of holidays!

NEW EPISODE: After traveling more than 45,000 miles over four continents in 2025, we answer the question: Why do some moments stay with us?
This week's video is running late, but we should have it out on Sunday. ❤️

NEW EPISODE: We’ve been dealing with some pretty stubborn colds after our long-haul flight from Houston to Croatia, but we finally released this week’s video. 🎉 It really helps us nudge the algorithm if you watch it soon since it’s already a day late. This one was pretty emotional for us to film and edit at times, but we absolutely loved so much about Sarajevo and we hope you do, too. ❤️

We’ve enacted our Family First rule while in Houston. It felt important for us to spend more time with family instead of cutting that time short to work on a video. Thank you for understanding. We’ll be back on schedule with our Sarajevo episode for next Saturday, October 11. If you missed last week's video, please give it a watch: https://youtu.be/lhtWhlsj90U ❤️

How do you like our new Owala bottles with our tagline on them? We're in Texas visiting Kevin's sister (and other Houston & Austin family members) and decided to take this opportunity to replace worn clothing and upgrade our water bottles. It's a quick week detour that we cut from our stay in Sarajevo before heading to Dubrovnik.

NEW EPISODE: This week’s video is running a little late, but it’s still going to be out this weekend. We’ve been digging into the hardest part of travel (and how to make it easier). Let us know in the comments what about travel is the most painful for you. ❤️
