Ron and Jess

Ron and Jess, an adventure couple, embarked on their entrepreneurial journey after being bitten by the travel bug. Their story began a decade ago when they crossed paths in college, both yet to explore foreign lands. Jess, the trailblazer, embarked on a solo adventure to Tanzania, which ignited her passion for travel. She persuaded Ron to take a leap of faith, leaving behind the constraints of a 9-5 job, to teach English in South Korea. Their year in South Korea was just the beginning. Following their teaching period, they embarked on a remarkable 6-month backpacking journey through Southeast Asia, traveling seven countries and relishing every moment of their explorations. Upon returning home, they found themselves tethered to mundane 9-5 jobs for two years. However, their insatiable wanderlust and entrepreneurial spirit led them to quit their jobs and venture into the world of digital marketing. Fast forward five years, Ron and Jess now own a flourishing six-figure digital marketing business and a burgeoning travel blog. Their love for travel has evolved to include traversing the United States in their camper and embarking on shorter overseas adventures to uncharted territories.
