Meet Vic & Gus!
Two adventure-loving souls sharing their journey to escape the ordinary
Well, hey there! We are so humbled that you want to get to know us more.
So allow us to properly introduce ourselves and share a bit more about our story...
Victoria
I'm Victoria, and I'm a third culture kid, used to moving around and traveling Europe, and I have been settled in Texas for the past 10 years.
BUT I'M NOT READY TO SETTLE. That 9-5 (ok, 8-6) gets old. Don't get me wrong, I am passionate about my job (hence the long hours), but I need a break from the grind once in a while.
So, with the company of my sweet fiancé, I have started saying yes to most any adventure (private bathroom required). And wanted to share the fact that YOU CAN TOO!
So come with us to escape our ordinary.
Gus
I'm Gus, I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and I have called Texas home for the last decade.
While I love my home in Texas I also love exploring new places and saying YES to any adventure that comes my way!
Whether we are backpacking through Thailand or escaping for a weekend getaway to explore our own home state, we think the life on the road is the life best lived.
Join us as we Escape Our Ordinary and leave the 9-5 grind on the chase for new experiences and show you how YOU CAN TOO!
About Escape Our Ordinary
Howdy! So now that you know us a little better, you are probably wondering what the heck Escape Our Ordinary is and what you can expect.
So allow us to properly introduce our blog and mission...
In a nutshell...
Our Mission: Is to inspire everyone to get out and travel and explore and live their life to the fullest by enjoying every minute they have.
We used to be just like everyone else - stuck in the endless cycle of work, sleep, repeat. We'd dream about adventures during our lunch breaks and save vacation photos as our desktop backgrounds.
But then we realized something important: Life is happening right now, not someday.
We don't have to wait for retirement or the "perfect time" to start living. With some creativity and strategic planning, we can escape our ordinary lives and create extraordinary memories!
Why Escape Our Ordinary
We chose this name because we believe that travel is one of the most valuable things you can invest in. It's not just about seeing pretty places - it's about breaking free from routine and discovering what you're truly capable of.
The truth is, most of us feel trapped by limited vacation days and tight budgets. But here's the secret: you don't need months off to have incredible adventures!
You might not be able to take a month long trip to visit National Parks but if done strategically you can definitely knock out the Utah Mighty 5 in a week's vacation!
We're here to show you exactly how to make it happen, one adventure at a time.
