Entrepreneur Seth Godin says: “Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”

The history of the Wandering La Vignes goes back to 2002, when Patrice and Justin met at a hiking club in Arizona. They dated, married and had successful, growing careers. For many years, it was a very status quo life, moving from homes and jobs around the country and adventuring when they could.

But, in 2011, they gave up the ordinary life and a permanent address. Since then, they have worn many hats, merging their respective careers and talents to create a life fueled by their love of the outdoors where they can work and play together.
