Travel is our happy. And whatever

Your Happy Is

We dare you to find it.

Do you dare yourself?

It all started in the shower. Weird, huh? I know. But true story. Let me explain…

Have you ever been in the shower and felt like your brain was on fire (great book, by the way - Brains On Fire), full of ideas, imaginations, dreams, passions, desires, places you'll go, things you'll do? We've all had them, right? Those moments when your mind is spinning so fast you can't take it. You're chalked full of energy and enthusiasm. You wish every moment and every shower of every day could be THIS adrenaline rushing?? YESSS! You know what I'm talking about.

Then what happens.

That's it. Poof. Gone. Back to reality. Life calls. Shit happens. And all your shower dreams and big ideas get washed down the drain.

OutOfNorm.al was a shower thought. There I was. Thinking about all the people in my life, in this country and around the world who live their life day in and day out doing work they hate and living lives that they feel have no purpose, no meaning, no fulfillment. In particular, I was thinking about the friend that once told me,

““You’re going to have to get a real job someday.””

— A friend

Meanwhile I was frickin' loving my job and she, well...not so lovin' hers. But I'll save that for this.

Anyway, as I stepped out of the tub these words went through my head.

"Kick yourself out of normal."

That's what people need to do! Too many people are too unhappy with some part of their life.

Normal is broke.
Normal is a job you can't stand.
Normal is living paycheck to paycheck.
Normal is living your life saying "one day I will" or "I wish I would have".

And so it started with the idea of spreading inspiration, motivation and a little butt kicking to those who are stuck in a rut. Those who are living the poopy rat race of life. Those who know there is something else, something better, something different, something bigger and something greater that they've been called to do, they're just not quite sure what it is, where to look or how to start.

//That's my incredibly wonderful, handsome and supportive husband.//

'Kick Yourself' (OutOfNorm.al) was the idea, but that's all it was - an idea. For months, I pondered - how was I going to motivate people to kick themselves OutOfNorm.al? Life's too comfortable for anyone to listen to me.

In our fast paced, I want it now society, sometimes the best thing we can do is WAIT. So, wait I did. Until the season in my life was right for me to put this out there. To inspire. To encourage. To guide. To lead. To teach. And to give a little butt kick! Because if you're not living a life that makes you happy, then you need a swift one.

So, here we go. If you're that person looking for more, ready to make a change in your life, seeking something greater, lost and don't know where to look, then stick around. Through a series of life stories, testimonials, experiences, challenges, and most exciting, DARES, we think we might have something for you.

We dare you, to dare yourself.

Postcard Thoughts

Booted from National Forest, threatened with $5,000 fine; no mask

I'm a marketing major with a job in F.U.N. and T.R.A.V.E.L.

Hi! Brittain here. I graduated from the University of Central Missouri in 2007, I quit my management position at a really great grocer (shout out to Hy-Vee!) and that summer I discovered the fabulous world of Experiential Marketing and haven't looked back (seriously, it's the best world ever!!...for the right person). I mean, I get paid to spray people with fire hoses!

Since then, I've had the joy of representing more than 50 major companies at large events (rodeos, state fairs, concerts, NASCAR, MLB) across the country (it's like getting paid to have fun). I've started my own impact business, Hostel KC, Traveled the world and kinda sorta semi-retired. Stick around. You'll see what that means.

Enough serious talk though. Now life has me living full-time on the road (HnyMun.it) with my wonderful hubby.

Here are a few more things you should know about me:

Wedding day with our tiny home, Lucy Bug. She's a 1988 Airstream and the best 1st home we could have ever asked for.

I married the most incredible man ever! Meet Josh here.
I'm kind of a conservative hippie. It's like having fun the good ol' fashion way!
It's Missouri. Not Kansas. One city. Two states. Get it right.
My friends call me goldfish. (short term memory + distracted by shiny objects)
- Therefore, I get to the point and if you want my attention, you should too.
I'm super competitive!
I'm an only child (not the spoiled kind).
- 'Cause my parents raised me to work hard and earn my keep.
I play for work
Favorite animal(s): Horses and cats that act like dogs.
I'm a super baseball fan! #RoyalsForLife
- I was Relish dog for the Royals #BestJobEver
I have a 4-part commercial series on the Dave Ramsey Show!
Here's my Dave Ramsey DEBT FREE SCREAM!
Josh and I have been on our #HnyMunIt since Nov 3, 2016, traveling the country in our 1988 Airstream.

This is Josh.

This happy-go-lucky kid in the candy shop is my husband. You probably wouldn't guess that he's a small town Kansas kid who spent a year in Peru, is now bilingual (Spanish), worked at Dave Ramsey's (before we met), got his Master's, owns his own company, has the kindest heart and is the best, most loving husband ever!

He names all his cats "Butch". He's had 5.
He's obsessed with Dominos (the pizza).
Got through college with $0 debt!!!
Has never had a car payment. (weird!)
Has an annoying Monopoly strategy (that wins!) It’s not Dave Ramsey approved and I refuse to play against him anymore.
Loves God and his family and has a huge heart for all of his students!
Caught the travel bug too.
Proposed to me in a private garden with a journal he'd been writing in for months. Oh, and we made our own wedding rings.

And that's my husband. The kid in the candy store.

And this cute face is Walter.

He was a foster kitty whose face I couldn't resist and now he's the "Ambassador Of Happiness" at Hostel KC. While he may look like a grumpy old man, he gives #PurrfectHostpitality to all who visit.

Now you can follow Walter #WalterEisenmeower.

// Our Wedding Day • Kansas City, MO • April 9, 2016 //

On November 3, 2016 we embarked on a CrAzY journey. We moved out of our tiny loft and into our tiny home on wheels (a 1988 Airstream).

Our whole lives we'd traveled the world
...by ourselves.

So

We decided to kick off our marriage by traveling the states
...TOGETHER.

We made a plan to go wherever the wind blows, tumbleweeds roll and cows don't fart.
We'd use family, events, free camping and good food as our guide.
