World Travel with a Theatrical Flare

Welcome

Thanks for dropping by. We are Dennis and Kimberly Goza, two semi-retired actors who set off to discover the world at the tail end of 2021. Prior to that we ran a small touring educational theatre company and raised a son while living on wheels for over 30 years in the United States. Non-stop travel has been a way of life for us since 1992.

About

Today

What began as a backpacking/volunteering experiment for a few months quickly turned in a lifestyle. One volunteer gig in 2022 led to a year-long full-time jobs as English teachers every other school year, beginning in 2023. Currently we are teaching in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for the 2025-26 school year.

We are dedicated to publishing content that dives deep while keeping events in chronological order. We add new posts and make updates when circumstances, like time and access to internet, allow. The side effect is that our blog is a few months behind real time.
