About the Happy Travelers
Hi there! I'm Skeeter. I grew up moving a lot and that makes me a bit restless for travel and exploration. I started this blog with my husband Pat when we decided to backpack New Zealand for a year. We are always looking for the next adventure and are loving life. We're just your average couple with two sassy dogs and a love for travel. We're sharing our travels and the tips we pick up along the way.

Hello! I'm Liz. Blogging is very new to me, but I'm so excited to finally write as much as I talk!
I was born in Brazil, moved to the U.S. when I was 8 back in 1997, grew up in Idaho, and am now living in New York City. I'm restless and can't stay in one place for long. I travel the world as much as I can and plan on doing so for the rest of my life! The world is my home. |
What is Happy Travelers?
Happy Travelers started in 2009 when Skeeter (that's me talking here)....when I started to plan for a year long trip to New Zealand with my husband. It wasn't just a travel blog though, in fact, it wasn't even mostly a travel blog. It started out with me writing about feeling stuck in a job that I wasn't crazy about and feeling like I wasn't doing all the things with my life that I wanted to do.
Fast forward 5 years.
After taking an amazing trip to New Zealand... with many other destinations along the way... and blogging the whole time, Happy Travelers has evolved quite a bit. My friend Liz, has joined me in blogging about her travels. She's traveled a ton, and has a lot of great tips for other aspiring travelers. As was true when this blog started, it's not all about travel either. We share tips on saving money, on organizing your life, and on life in general. Are we experts? No, not by a long shot! But life, like travel, is often about the journey and we want to share that with you.
