Our Story
Hi! We’re Brian and Liann, husband-and-wife duo and partners in crime, sharing how we’re building freedom through frugal living, intentional travel, and DIY home projects.
We like to explore life outside of the box. In 2015, we paid off our mortgage, and it changed everything. Before getting married, we made a bold decision: to start our life together completely debt-free. We built a savings strategy to cover our wedding and honeymoon while paying off a mortgage, student loan, and car loan. By the time we married, we were debt-free with a healthy nest egg and a whole new mindset.
The Freedom Adventure was created from that mindset, providing a space to explore financial wellness, self-investment, and intentional living beyond the status quo.
Here, you’ll find honest stories, practical tips, and reviews focused on personal finance, budget-friendly travel, and DIY home projects. Through real experiences and simple tools, we hope to inspire others to pursue freedom on their own terms — with less pressure, and more purpose.

INTJ.
A curious soul with a penchant for darkness, depth, and delicious foods. I enjoy a good book and a healthy dose of risk. Life is meant for adventure. I’m never going to have all of the answers, but I’m open to learning all that I can.
Brian
Hi, I’m Brian, and I would say I am the more conventional and risk-averse one in this duo. While I believe the unknown to be scary, I also believe it is worth exploring because, after all, knowledge is power. In my day job, I troubleshoot, make decisions, analyze, and troubleshoot some more. Outside of that, I am a self-proclaimed foodie, amateur cook, and amateur bartender. I love travel, music, personal finance, creating and building things, and I love lamp.
