​
How We Met.
​
We met in 1996 and in 1997, we knew we were destined for each other. Our beginning was an interesting, exciting connection and friendship from the start! We hit it off immediately, bonding over our mutual love for dogs, amusement parks, and travel. We were born travelers as singles, but when we got engaged, we decided to give ourselves the best wedding gift in the world.
​
TRAVEL!
​
Since 1999, we have traveled extensively. We decided to give ourselves and each other the gift of travel! We therefore travel to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the anniversary of our engagement. We go on vacation on each other's birthdays. We go on trips for Easter. We go away for Christmas and New Year's. We travel at least 6 to 8 times a year, either for special occasions or just because! As a couple, we have shared the life-changing experiences that long-term travel can bring, and we love it!
​
International Wedding Day
​
We made our journey official by marrying in a tudor-style castle, ushering in an international wedding celebration that included Indian saris, ethnic cuisines from 12 different countries, African dancers, Middle Eastern bellydancers, and a Flamenco performance! On 4/24/99, we exchanged vows under the huppah, honoring both Al's Christian faith and Zee's Jewish beliefs.
​
After the wedding, we spent 3 weeks honeymooning in England and France and we have been traveling the world ever since!
Starting January 2010, Al has taken his love of photography and Zee has taken her teaching career abroad to continue their work. They now enjoy working remotely on Stamped From A to Z embracing the swift changes from point n' click "I was here!" photography to content creation on social media all while balancing extraordinary careers with the travel and arts industry as digital nomads.
​
Our Travel Style
Our travel style is a mix of modest-budget and luxurious. It’s important for us to get a “local feel” for a destination. So we dig deep to find hidden gems in each country or city we visit. We both have a deep love for each other, our work, and also for travel. To be able to channel it into a business allows us the best of both worlds and the amazing experiences that come along with it. Travel adds joy to our relationship.
​
Different, Yet Similar.
We're cohesive, yet very different.
Al is reserved, yet surprisingly comedic. He loves making memories in each location we visit. He documents travel via video and photography and is a great influencer and promoter of hotels and airlines.
Zee is spontaneous, independent and seeks out excitement in her travels. She will choose street food, as well as a fancy restaurant. She connects with locals for immersive experiences. Zee also loves to share and review with her audience of her global experiences in an effort to promote independent travel.
