About us.

Shalom! Thank you for coming to check out our website, chronicling the adventures of living and studying in Israel.

We met ten years ago at the University of Tennessee, became best friends and have now been married for two years. We love Jesus, spending time with our friends, traveling, eating good food, watching & playing sports, adventuring and our silly, spotted dog Baxter.

This journey will be a physical, mental and spiritual challenge like nothing we have ever done together. We are grateful for your prayers, your love and your community as we trek across Bible Lands and experience God’s adventure for us.

Grant is excited to explore Israel with Tayler! He is originally from Newtown, PA but considers Nashville home. Grant met his soulmate, Tayler, while studying at the University of Tennessee and has also spent time studying in the Andalusia region of Spain. Grant loves learning about the Bible in its original context and is currently enrolled in a Masters program at Northern Seminary. He has ventured on two tours to Israel, engaging in studies at JUC on a short-term program in 2022 and helping facilitate a trip for Walking the Text in 2023. He loves stories, writing and experiencing God through adventuring across land & sea. Exploring is his favorite thing to do (besides talking with Tayler) through stories, places, people, reading, writing and hearts.

Tayler is excited to explore Israel with Grant! Tayler is originally from Tempe, AZ moving to Knoxville, TN in 2006 where she stayed through college graduating from the University of Tennessee – Knoxville with a Supply Chain Management and International Business degree.
