Meet David Harriman

David Harriman's journey towards exploration and travel began when he was inspired by his high school teacher, Doug Barker, who had traveled the world for a year and a half after graduating.

As he entered his senior year, David met his future wife, Christina, and their shared love for exploring the world led them to embark on numerous trips after graduation. Although they initially focused on domestic travel, the thrill of discovering new places ignited their passion for a life of exploration.
