Hi!
We’re Courtney and Tom (or Courtmas…Tom comes from a family of 7 it simplifies things to merge couples names and we like it!)
Tom works online for himself via Tommorkes.com and his publishing company Insurgent Publishing. Which in thanks is one of the main reasons we are able to sustain this traveling lifestyle!
Courtney is a traveling Yoga Instructor (Bikram yoga but planning to add Vinyasa to her repertoire in Feb ’15) and CFO/Social Media Expert for Tom. It’s up to me (yep I just hopped to 1st person!) to do most of the travel planning and unless otherwise noted am the voice behind Far Away Reasons.
We started this website on our honeymoon trip–A year long Southern Hemisphere tour where we hit up Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, South Africa, Namibia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and Belize.
With that trip wrapping up, our thirst and desire to explore hasn’t so we won’t be settling down.
From here, we plan to vagabond around the US visiting family and friends before we set off abroad again! (Coming up next is more of SE Asia: The Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Burma and back to Indonesia before head to Europe!)
