​​What's up?! We're Jayla and Ethan, a husband and wife overlanding duo! In August of 2023, we left our beautiful home state of Colorado to jump into our 2003 Toyota 4Runner and set off on our epic adventure to visit all 50 of the US states. we brought with us our furry best friend, Koda May! she’s our sweet 6-year-old golden retriever and has already become the star of our travels. As we tour this beautiful country we hope to bring a little more joy to everyone we meet and one of the ways we’re doing that is by traveling with a pineapple! why a pineapple?! because it seemed like perfect the silly goofy thing to bring smiles to others' faces, plus it makes for a tasty treat. this adventure has already been nothing short of amazing and we can’t wait to see where it takes us!

Jayla

Hi!! I’m Jayla! I’ve been dreaming of living on the road for as long as I could remember. Being out here is a dream come true and I’m so thankful for this opportunity! Growing up, I’ve always had a love for travel and adventure. By the time I was 18, I had already visited more than half of the US states and 5 different countries. Now that I’m (almost) 25, my love for these things has only grown but now the best part is that I get to experience it all with my best friend, Ethan. When I’m not adventuring or posting to social media, you can find me busy serving my photography clients over at westward up. I’ve been running my high end wedding and elopement photography business for 3 years and it’s simply the best!

what up!?!!! i’m ethan and i just celebrated the big 26. before traveling full time, i was a sports performance coach and i still have a huge passion for fitness and sports. i have always loved epic adventures and traveling. but if you would have told me a few years ago that i would be living in a car and traveling permanently i would have called you crazy! meeting, falling in love with, and marrying my best friend jayla turned everything on its head in the best way possible and made me do things i never thought i would! now i’m chasing those epic adventure across the world and having a blast doing it! when i'm not on an adventure, you can find me playing baseball, helping others achieve their fitness goals, or wrestling with koda.
