About

Hi, we’re Dave and Brandi — we turned a love of travel, food, and questionable packing decisions into a life of exploring the world.

Between us, we’ve lived in five countries, visited over 40 countries and counting, and collected more travel stories than our luggage has collected airport stickers. We grew up in Oklahoma, lived in several states and countries through work, returned to Oklahoma to raise our family, and now continue our adventures from Europe.

Dave is retired from both the military and law enforcement. He is also a private pilot, sailor, scuba diver, and firm believer that every trip is better when there is a good meal involved.

Brandi spent years helping to manage major companies in telecom and food service before moving into global IT consulting. She loves the outdoors, new places, and finding the kind of local spots you would miss if you stayed on the main street.

We started Wellfedandtravels to share the places we go, the food we eat, the people we meet, and the lessons we learn along the way. We believe travel makes the world feel smaller, kinder, and a little less mysterious. It teaches you to listen more, laugh at yourself, and try the unfamiliar.

Here you’ll find real travel stories, food discoveries, local experiences, and our current adventure of buying and remodeling a home in Sardinia.

We hope our stories inspire you to take the trip, try the food, talk to the locals, and make memories of your own.
