About Us

Hey! We're Greg and Duwan. We have been nomads since 2011. We have traveled by sailboat, have house sat across the country, and are currently roaming around in our converted Ford cargo van, Ballena Blanca, exploring all the amazing things the world has to offer. This blog is a chronicle of our adventures and travels. If you enjoy our stories, leave us a comment on a post. If you want to know more about us, click here.
