Welcome to Grown and Gone.
We’re Ty and Kaala — a vibrant, grounded couple designing a life filled with beauty, quality, and everything we’ve always known was ours.
After raising our kids in our early twenties and showing up every day for our families, jobs, and responsibilities… we’re finally stepping into our next chapter — the one with no damn kids at home (can we get a “whoo hooo!”? 😂)
We’ve been friends for years, and that friendship evolved into true love — the kind that feels easy, real, and rooted in mutual respect (and laughter).
Ty’s an engineer by day and a wildly talented videographer and photographer by night.
Kaala’s a second-grade teacher by day and a budding acupuncturist and wellness entrepreneur by night.
Now? We’re focused on exploring the world together, soaking up freedom, and creating the life we once only had time to dream about.
This isn’t just a travel blog.
Grown and Gone is the way we move — with intention, with love, and with our bags packed for wherever feels aligned. This is our love letter to freedom, quality, and doing life on our terms.
