Jeffrey Tello
Hello everyone! I'm Jeff. Like many fathers, I just wanted to have a happy life with my wife and kids. But working long hours made it hard to spend time together and make fun memories. My amazing wife, Elaine, and I used to always say, “We’re tired of being tired.” One day, we decided something had to change. With God’s help, we started looking at life in a new way. We made small changes that led to what we now call A Vivid Journey. A way of living that gives us more time with our family and the wonderful people around us.
Elaine Tello
Hey there! I’m Elaine, and I’m thrilled to share our journey with you! I started in an entry-level job and gradually worked my way to salaried positions, chasing the dream of owning a home and building a successful life. But after reaching those milestones, I continued to feel unfulfilled, I felt trapped in a routine with no real time for my family.
​
In 2018, I asked the Lord for guidance and created A Vivid Plan for our future, focusing on meaningful experiences, intentional routines, and the goal of escaping the daily grind by age 40. Fast forward 7 years, at the age of 36, I joyfully left my job and now live a fulfilling life, discovering my purpose and helping others create their own path to a joyful, meaningful journey!

Hi there! I'm Adrian, a 15-year-old tech enthusiast and a food fanatic! I'm on an adventure to find the best experience in every country and culture in the world because, let’s be real, every country has its own uniqueness! Traveling has really opened my eyes to just how enormous the world is. Right now, I’m in 10th grade, loving to be able to do school while on the road, and loving every moment of it!
