What the F*&K are we doing in this digital nomad world? We don't actually know...

Welcome to this work and travel blog, where my aim is to take you on board with us, on our digital nomadic journey of discovery. (Bahaha, that sounds like we have a plan.....)

Dani, Regina and L on Vay Kay, at the SeaBird in California, Summer 2024

A little about us, like you don't already know. The people behind the Kick Ass Swag - There is Regina, to know her is to love her. She is the one who started it all. The dreamer and the doer. She knows her way around a swag box and has helped so many companies wow their internal and external clients, and employees. Specialising in event branded merch, working with the health care industry, non profits and big and little businesses around the globe. Born in Vegas, Raised in New York, Regina is loud and wonderful. Please read our about me page for more info on Regina and you can literally call or email her any time, 24 hours a day and she will reply. Thats just how she does things.

Dani - thats me! Australian born, I immigrated here to the states when I was 22. A little over 24 years ago (are you doing the math?) Having spend now more than half my life in America I have been itching for the next big thing. I am a mother and a wife, and just last year really stepped into the swag game alongside my wife. Always a fan of the big jump into the entrepreneurial world. In fact if you ask Regina I was the one who gave her the push she needed to get where she is today! I help Regina with all the stuff she kind of sucked at. I do some money stuff, some marketing stuff and some order stuff, but mainly, I mail out thank yous and do whatever Regina needs off her plate so she can fry bigger fish. She gave me the fancy title of COO (- I don't remember what that means) but I would rather just be the boss mum, head house wife, and organiser of the day to day stuff.

95% of the things we do for work are done from our laptops in our little office in the house. We have been talking about being 'digital nomads' for a while now, and I have always advocated as a citizen of the world! Here comes the journey of taking that little space out into the big wide world. I am so excited to see the views from our offices of the future.

We have 3 kids, two older children from a previous marriage with whom we share physical custody. M and D we shall call them and they are teens. In high school now with big personalities, and social lives and beautiful brains. We are planning SOME of our big new adventures around their school and other family obligations but for the most part, they will only see our nomadic journey 2nd hand. Boo.

Our little 'L' is a 3 year old domestic terrorist. He is rough and tumble, strong willed and stubborn, independent and loves with a tremendous fierceness which almost always ends in bruises. He gets to walk (or get pulled) along this journey we are embarking on too. Lucky him (and us).

We have a 4 bedroom home in Las Vegas, Nevada, we have two dogs, a tortoise and a cat who we will be leaving behind to see the world. And we don't quite know where our journey will lead us. Does the path run to far off lands with hidden coves of tropical fish and glorious riches? Perhaps we will find ourselves on cliff faces in the wind, struggling to keep a footing. Or maybe the way forward brings us home... whatever that looks like.

Here is the plan -it starts with Mexico. Its the closest country (thats not cold) with a great cost of living. One big draw back that I see is the language - I literally have done duo lingo for 100 + days and all I got is HOLA! (Regina has a bit more confidence than I) Another plan has been Europe - its sooooo far away. And of course my mother country - Australia (it is much further away!) So lets roll the dice and get traveling.

Thank you for reading thus far and I look forward to updating you with where ever our journey may lead...
