Hey bros, I’m Mark – the bearded guy in all the photos.  South Floridian born & raised; beach bum crazed, forever craving summer daze.

Growing up travel was a rite of passage for me. It’s in my DNA.  Ever since I was little my parents had me tag along on adventures across the world, so the root of my travel bug can be traced back to them.  I completely blame them for infecting me with the travel bug.  However, it was a trip to Hawaii that fueled my unending appetite for adventure.  It was there on the North Shore that I fell completely in love with traveling.  I mean Avi lol.   I take the photos and my honey bug writes about them.

I love rocking out at concerts.  Solo or double, I’m there!  You can catch me on the beach, tanning somewhere with my favorite shades from SH Wood.  I love to think that I’m a pro-surfer but for now, I’ll continue daydreaming.  When the waves are right and the sun is bright, I might catch a few waves & ride them for days.  Hawaii is my happy place, and Home is where my heart is.

Through Happily Ever Traveler, we share our life as a friend in hopes that we may inspire you to live a happier lifestyle.  You are never too old, too busy, or too unhappy to pause what you’re doing and take some time to follow your dreams.  If you’re living to pay bills, then you’re living wrong.  It’s time to start living right!

Hello BFF, I’m Avi – a passionate traveler and storyteller (well Mark likes to refer to it as a talker).

As a child, road trips ruled, and planes were avoided at all costs. We couldn’t afford to travel to faraway places.  (Which is what created my fear of flying. Don’t worry, I’m totally healed now!)  My parents made everyday outings an adventure.  Living in Florida, there weren’t any Disney World summer vacation plans, but all imaginations.  I remember dreading when my Elementary school teacher would ask what I did for summer.  I’d create my own happy travels and share the awesome ideas that popped in my head with my class.  I suppose this is where the storytelling began.  It wasn’t until I met Mark that I realized you don’t have to be uber-rich to travel.

Traveling is my passion, fashion is my life, and helping others makes me smile!  When I’m not on airplane mode, you can find me re-designing an old dress, enjoying a live concert, playing hide-and-seek with my nephews and nieces, or freshwater fishing on a warm Sunday afternoon.
