Chasing Waterfalls with Famagogo

On the way back from a photo shoot nearly ten years ago Peter and Kathy Holcombe realized that they were nearly coming home to mow the grass, pick up the mail, attend to a few other errands and then head out again to the next spot for their photo work. It dawned on them that if they downsized everything and moved into a life on the road, they would always have their home with them negating the need to return anywhere. So they did it. They deliberated and planned for well over a year and when the decision was made, they mapped out their itinerary and work along the way. They sold off their brick and mortar photo studio and dove in head first for the best decision of their life. Their largest hesitation was how they would educate their daughter Abby and they initially had her in a digital classroom where she would check in each day for a set number of hours. Yet after the first year, this felt more like handcuffs and they were unable to take on the opportunities that would allow Abby to thrive. So they tested out a number of other alternative forms of homeschooling until they found the right fit. Meanwhile, the Holcombes as a whole passionately pursue the adventures that make them feel most alive. They are all paddlers and Abby has literally grown up with a boat since she could fit the smallest commercially made kayak. On this trip and at the age of 12, she paddled the entire Grand Canyon in her own kayak, a feat perhaps nobody this young has ever done. While watching abby progress, Kathy also pursued her own outdoor challenges vowing to do 1,000 miles of self propelled adventure in 2019, learning so much about herself taking on these challenges mostly alone. The Holcombes are a true inspiration and are pioneers in their field. They are amazing photographers with a vivid portfolio, are accomplished world travelers and Abby is part of the Junior Olympic White Water paddling team. They are currently back in the US after spending the last six months touring Europe and they will soon be shipping their rig to South America to take on the next leg of their around the world tour.
