Meet the family
Who We Are
Life should be an adventure! That is our family motto and we like to live a life that displays the love of Jesus, have a whole lot of fun and live a life that is anything but ordinary!
We love to travel and create memories and our newest adventure right now is running a beautiful little motel that we bought in March 2021 out in country Queensland on the edge of the Australian outback!
​
Our life revolves around running our business, homeschooling our three kids and keeping our eye out for our next adventure!
Jonathon
The Boss
Jonathon or the Boss, caught the travel bug back in 2008 when he met an adorable Australian girl who was frequenting his home town in California. Deciding that he kinda liked her, he bought her a lovely ring and they promised to love, honour and travel for the rest of their days.
The rundown
Born in Apple Valley, California Jonathon spent most of his life in the desert apart from a few stints in other states. After his life was disrupted by the Aussie girl, he uprooted and moved to Australia, where they live now with their little family.

Jules
The Real Boss
After doing some small trips overseas followed by a large 4 month round the world trip, Jules obsession for the show Prison Break lured her to the United States where she lived for two years working as a child wrangler (or Nanny). One night while out with friends Jules bumped into Jonathon and was immediately taken by his amazing line dancing skills. A few weeks later, realising that dating was so overrated, she agreed to his proposal and they were married at sunset in the highest room of the tallest tower.
The rundown
Born in Western Sydney, Australia, Jules lived the quiet life in the mountains with her siblings until they moved to suburbia when she was 5 years old. She lived a rather normal life until she discovered travelling at the age of 18 when she left Australia for the first time. Now based in Queensland, Australia she plans to continue creating adventures in the Aussie outback.

Has an obsession for collecting “treasures” which could be anything from a rock or feather to a diamond. The obsession needs to be well monitored so it doesn’t lead to accidental shop lifting.
Isaac
The baby
The final addition to the family is the most chilled child yet. Tolerant isn’t a strong enough word for this child when it comes to being raised alongside his older sisters. Happy all the time.... unless his sisters are fighting.
