Hi, we're Jeremy & Kate!

In 2016, we exchanged our suburban life in the USA for full-time travel and adventure, and it changed our lives forever.

More than a decade after flying to Madrid on that first one-way ticket, we’re still ridiculously passionate about exploring this magnificent world that we’re lucky enough to live in.

Together, we’ve explored 50+ countries, most regions of Italy, and most US states. After 4+ years of traveling 365 days a year, we enjoyed stints calling Lisbon, New York City, and Texas home before moving to North Carolina with our dog, Ranger, and our young child.

These days, you can usually find us exploring the USA or Europe (especially our beloved Italy) but our curiosity, love of new experiences, and appetite for diverse cuisines regularly take us all over the globe.

Our mission at Our Escape Clause is simple: to inspire others to explore the world through well-researched and experience-driven articles.

We want to make your trip planning easier and our favorite destinations irresistible, and use this space to share detailed itineraries, travel guides, and occasional personal stories to further those goals.

Join us as we continue to live our escape clause from the predictable life that we once laid out for ourselves, one destination (and meal) at a time.
