Hi! We're Val & Erik

We’re working professionals who caught the travel bug long before our first child arrived. Now we love to explore the world as a family. Adventure didn’t stop for us when life got busy or when we started a family.

We believe that you don’t have to put your dream travel on hold because of a 9-to-5 job or kids. Our journeys are filled with adventure, discovery, and unforgettable moments. With OOTO (Out of the Office) blog we aim to help you plan your next adventure.

Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a big expedition, we hope our stories encourage you to seek adventure, embrace new experiences, and show your family the world.
