Do you all know the feeling of a vacation smile? It’s a different kind of joy right?
Everything about vacations is just a little better. The sun shines a little brighter. Your conversations are a little deeper, carefree & heartfelt. You get a little closer with the loved ones around you. It’s a moment in time that you are fully present and aware. For a small moment in time, life is good.
Why not have that feeling every day? We believe that you should and that you can. Europeans often phrase taking vacations as “Going on Holiday”. So we adopted that notion with a twist believing that by either taking on a job, project, or passion that makes you feel as if you are permanently on vacation or freeing up your time so that you can pursue what truly matters to you, is constantly living in a state where your Holiday is always on the Horizon. Hence, ‘Holiday Rising’!
We are an adventurous entrepreneurial family who enjoys traveling, learning, and exploring the great outdoors together. Most of all, we love laughing and playing in this backyard called the world. Since marrying about 13 years ago, Colin and I (Malaika), along with our boys Ace and Kingston have traveled the world in search of a better way to live.
As of 2021 we’ve been to over 30 countries and visited 49 states (we’re coming for you Alaska).
Along the way, we became coffee farmers and roasters, tour guides, property managers, consultants, worked aboard cruise ships, and owned several companies. We are certainly not creatures of habit and like to push our envelopes in terms of change and growth so we invite you on our journey. We are now forging a new path ahead for ourselves and for others.
We look to inspire an overall lifestyle change for anyone that is looking for something else out of their life. For the people that no longer want to be part of the cog and really want to take advantage of their time here on earth. The Holiday Lifestyle is not for everyone for sure, but if you decide it’s for you, we will show you how you can live like you are on Vacation every day!
We want to share the tips and lessons we have learned along the way, as well as our mistakes, in an effort to create a happier society one smile at a time. We are still learning and growing and welcome insight and different cultural experiences from people everywhere. Nothing in life is guaranteed and time is certainly not promised, so we try our best here to enjoy every second of it like we were on a Permanent Vacation!
For those of you who also love to travel and spend time with family – invite the vacation feeling into your soul and live it every day as well. Just like the sun always rises we feel the vacation mindset is always rising – Holiday Rising!
