Jayden De Armas
Jayden is 22 and a graduate of the University of San Diego with a degree in Business Administration and Changemaking. He has lived in San Diego his entire life and although it is a beautiful place to live, he ventures out of his hometown every chance he gets. His passion for travel is deeply rooted in his urge to meet new people and immerse himself in new cultures. When the pandemic hit and the world was on hold, Jayden took this opportunity to look at new and exciting ways to still travel, make new friends, and build new relationships.

Kara Kirkpatrick
Kara graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a degree in microbiology. When she’s not in the lab studying cardiovascular disease, she loves being immersed in nature with close friends and family. She is the master baker behind Cleo’s Cookies and the queen of the aux chord when it comes to those long hauls on the road.
Home, Bus, not-so trusty steed
Cleo
Cleo is a 2003 Ford E-450 with a 7.3l diesel engine. She used to be the transport bus for the American Legion Post 201 Baseball Team out of Tomah, Wisconsin before being renovated into a tiny home on wheels. She is the base of operations and everyone’s favorite part of the trio. Without her, none of this would be possible. And although she can be a bit stubborn at times, she hasn’t failed us yet!
