Andy & Jennifer - Sharing the World

We’re Andy and Jennifer, and we're building a life around full-time slow travel, with wildlife photography guiding where we go.

Originally from the United States, we moved to Australia in 2013 after selling our house, cars, and most of our possessions. 14 years later, we're doing it again. We retired early and are replacing a traditional home base with a series of temporary homes around the world, punctuated with extraordinary wildlife adventures.

Here's what you'll find as the channel grows:
πŸ“Έ Wildlife photography adventures, safaris, and expeditions
🧳 Preparing for a life of full-time travel
πŸ—ΊοΈ How we plan, prioritize, and design our travels
🏑 First impressions and daily life around the world
πŸ’° Real-world travel costs and budgeting
🌍 Honest reflections on the places we visit

🐧 NEW VIDEO: We sailed 22 days for ONE penguin.

At least, that was the plan.

We crossed the South Atlantic aboard the Silver Wind, travelling through the Falklands, South Georgia and towards one of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth: Tristan da Cunha.

We had one very specific goal: see a northern rockhopper penguin.

Then the weather had other ideas.

Cancelled landings. Itinerary changes. And eventually, just one final chance to see the penguin we'd travelled all this way for.

πŸŽ₯ NEW VIDEO: We Ranked Our Best Wildlife Experiences. Separately.

What happens when two people who’ve travelled the world together are forced to pick their ONE best wildlife experience, without knowing what the other chose?

To close out our Best Wildlife Experiences series, we're revealing our own Wildlife Awards. We chose our answers separately, then revealed them to each other on camera. No ties. No changing answers.

From our biggest wildlife fails and toughest adventures to favourite photographs, most underrated encounters and best overall wildlife destinations, we're looking back at some of the experiences that have stayed with us most.
