Calling myself the Tranquil Mama is more of an aspiration, rather than something I’ve truly got nailed down. Can you relate? In today’s modern, disconnected, overstimulated world, we can go-go-go at the detriment of our mental and physical health. We “check out” in ways that are not strengthening us. Anxiety and depression are on the rise in children, teens, and adults.

Tour Guide / Mexico

My name is Maryann O'Connor, founder of KWT, and I always travel with the group. Let's see...what can I tell you about myself? I come from a large Italian family, so wonderful Italian food was a given. Somewhere along the way, I became interested in ethnic foods, developing a taste for Vietnamese, Thai, Middle Eastern, Ethiopian, Mexican and, my favorite, Indian food! My love of these cuisines has certainly enhanced my desire to travel and visit the places from which they originated. While I have not yet been to India, my travels to Vietnam and Thailand were an absolute joy to my taste buds!

Adventure Guide / Peru

Hey there! I’m Shannon. I’m a former middle school teacher, dog mom, photographer, and blogger from Orlando, Florida.

I want to experience it all and capture it with my camera while encouraging others to pursue their dreams as well. My husband Eric and I built the tiny house of our dreams (literally WE built it) in order to open up our budget for travel. By making alternative lifestyle choices, we have been able to open our lives up to travel and adventure. Now, we want to show others how they can make their dreams accessible as well.
