OUR FAMILY
We’re an adventurous, fun-loving family of four, always chasing new experiences together.
Nearly 20 years ago, Ian fell for a Mexican girl (Clemen!) and left everything behind—job, car, and even winter coats—to start fresh in Mexico. He’s the kindest, most thoughtful guy, an incredible cook, and always up for adventure.
William keeps us laughing with his quick wit and sharp eye for details. He’s a natural on the tennis court, a pro on the slopes, and a mythology buff—especially useful when we explored Greece!
Oliver is our free-spirited joy machine, always smiling, stirring up fun, and somehow keeping us from getting lost on our travels. He’s responsible beyond his years but knows how to keep things light.
Clemen is the planner and dreamer, making sure our adventures actually happen. With endless energy, a love for travel, and a camera always in hand, she keeps our family moving forward.
Together, we’re a team—exploring, laughing, and making the world our playground!
