A Mermaid and Her Human

Linda—the Mermaid—grew up on the island of Guam, where the ocean taught her to dream big and the rest of the world dared her to come explore it. At 19, she joined TWA and took off—literally—circling the globe by 20. These days she travels as a proud Mermaid: someone whose legs don’t always behave on land but whose curiosity and grit refuse to sit still. Injuries, genetics, and a few cosmic pranks haven’t dimmed her wanderlust one bit.

William—the Human—caught the travel bug at 18 and never recovered. By 22, he’d zig‑zagged through Europe and Asia, happily proving that “lost” is just another word for “exploring with enthusiasm.”

These days, we’re retired “rotational” travelers—bouncing between continents, gathering stories, sunsets, and the occasional bruise from a poorly timed curb. With 95 combined years of airline standby travel, we roam the world as a Mermaid‑and‑Human duo: one mobility‑challenged adventurer and one designated pack mule, both powered by curiosity and the kindness of strangers who rescue us more often than we admit.

Come along. Wander our photos, check our calendar, and—if the universe cooperates—join us for a leg of the journey.
