A proposito di You Only Live Adventure
OUR JOURNEY
On June 1, 2026, we happily retired from the business we built for more than 30 years and pointed our compass north toward the adventure of a lifetime.
What started as a dream slowly became a plan… and then finally became reality.
With our 4th Gen Toyota 4Runner — YOLA — packed for the road ahead, we left Pleasanton, California to begin a slow, immersive journey across the world with hopes of reaching all seven continents over the next 3–5 years.
EVERY MILE HAS A STORY
This journey isn't simply about driving across continents.
It's about the people we meet, the cultures we experience, the unexpected detours, and the moments that remind us just how connected this world really is.
Through You Only Live Adventure, our mission is to share those stories honestly—the beauty, the challenges, the breakdowns, the laughter, and the unforgettable moments that come with life on the road.
Whether it's a remote mountain pass, a shared meal with new friends, or an unforgettable conversation around a campfire, we hope our stories inspire others to dream a little bigger, embrace the unknown, and discover just how incredible this world really is.
WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
If you've enjoyed following along, cheering us on, or simply believe in the spirit of adventure, your support helps keep the wheels turning and the stories flowing.
Every contribution helps with things like:
Fuel for the next stretch of road
Border crossings and permits
Vehicle maintenance and repairs
Internet connectivity so we can share from the road
Photography and video equipment
Website hosting and storytelling tools
Most importantly, it gives us the opportunity to continue documenting this incredible adventure and sharing it with all of you.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO SUPPORT
Not everyone is in a position to contribute financially—and that's perfectly okay.
Simply following our journey, leaving a comment, sharing a story, recommending our website to a friend, or saying hello when our paths cross means more than you know.
Every message, every share, every word of encouragement reminds us that we're not traveling alone.
We're carrying an amazing community with us across every border.
THANK YOU
Whether you've been with us from the very beginning or you've only recently discovered YOLA…
Thank you.
Thank you for believing in this dream.
Thank you for celebrating the highs with us and encouraging us through the challenges.
Thank you for helping us tell these stories.
We can't wait to share the next chapter with you.
See you down the road.
