We are the Traveling Chus! 

In Oct 2018, we quit our jobs to travel and explore all U.S National Parks in the lower 48 States and Hawaii (total of 49 states) before our son entered kindergarten.  Join us in our journey as we explore America's most breathtaking natural landscapes and vibrant cities!  In 2019, we both went back to work and miss traveling every second of the day! We travel as much as we can during on the weekends and on holidays.
