We Have a

Passion for Adventure

Hi! We’re Dave & Lisa, an easy-going, fun-loving, Buffalo, NY-born & raised couple who have a passion for adventure and exploring the world!

Originally starting with extreme couponing- we upgraded to the “Basic Travel Method” after learning how to utilize credit card reward points to travel the world for cheap or almost free. Travel has forever changed us by teaching us new ways of living, exploring new cultures, overcoming obstacles, and even growing stronger together as a couple.
