Thank you for visiting! We are the Oliver family, a Texas-based family comprised of two full-time working parents and 2 children under the age of 7.
Our adventures technically started on the pool deck in high school about 20 years ago. We both went off to college to play water polo in different states and then returned home where our friendship, and eventually courtship, blossomed.
We have been blessed to utilize paid time off (PTO) and extended weekends to travel. We started traveling as a family of two in Barbados in August 2014. Between full time jobs, being parents, and being involved in numerous extracurricular activities, we know “busy”. However, travel is in our blood. We want to experience different cultures, food, landmarks, and adventure throughout the world!
