You’ve got me floating ? ••••• Hey Roamers! ?? Scott + Collette here. ? It’s been a while since we’ve introduced ourselves, so we’d like to welcome you to our great adventure. • Roamaroo all began in June 2015 when we decided to quit our jobs as corporate desk jockeys (Scott, a chemical engineer and Collette, a TV writer/producer), sell our cars, rent out our house and embark on a grown-up half-gap year. • We started a blog & social media to keep our friends and family updated on our adventures. Six months of travel turned into nearly two years of full-time travel. We decided to forego returning to our old jobs and instead, turn our baby into a business. • We hope to inspire you to take chances, follow your heart, and explore the most romantic places in the world. We’re so grateful that you’ve joined us on our journey. Our favorite part of our travels is the community that has been built around them and that’s thanks to you!
