Hey, we are Shan and Ryan Tripp, and welcome to our podcast, Life's A Trip.

We're just a couple small town kids who fell quickly in love and couldn't wait to do this life together.

We started having kids, we were both working in health care,

we bought our first house right down the road from family.

Life was great, but something was missing.

We were happy and felt so blessed, but we also felt a little stuck.

We realized we weren't moving closer to our dreams for our family and our future.

So, we sold everything.

The house, the cars, the clothes, all the stuff, everything.

Except for the kids, we kept the kids.

As scary as it was to make this big change, we couldn't stop thinking about it.

We knew in our hearts this was what God wanted for our family.

We packed our entire life into seven suitcases, grabbed our kids by the hands, and jumped on a one-way flight to Hawaii.

From there, our whole world opened up.

We have experienced the highs and lows of parenting,

marriage, running a business from home,

finances, moving across the ocean,

making new friends, and maybe doing things

a bit differently to ultimately make the very most of this family life.

And that's what we want to share with you.

We are so grateful you're here joining us in our bedroom because that's the only space we have to record this.

To open up the curtains have some fun together and chat about what we've learned
