Modern Odyssey Lauren and Daniel

About Us

Hi! We’re Lauren + Daniel, a married couple in our mid-30s. In July 2015, we decided to downsize all of our belongings and leave our NYC corporate gigs + apartment to embrace a location independent lifestyle. Communication and technological advances allowed us to confidently take our show on the road, becoming digital nomads. 


Since then, we’ve ‘lived’ in several places, as well as traveled to many others. We have developed new skills and have made progress in our independent careers. We’ve been able to enrich our lives through meeting people from many different backgrounds and immersing ourselves in various cultures. And we’ve had the flexibility for many things, such as focusing on our health, meeting up with family and friends across the globe, and shaping our day-to-day in a way that works for us.


If this modern odyssey path interests you, or even if you just want to travel more often, we encourage you to read on and consider the possibilities.
