Mallory Walker isn’t your average travel blogger. Just glance at her IG page and you’ll quickly realize that if you’ve come looking for overly curated photos, brand friendly comments and a ‘do it for the gram’ lifestyle, you’re in the wrong place. But if you’re looking for a relatable personality from someone trying to figure out how to see the world on a budget just like you, then this hilarious mother of two from Missouri is who you need in your life.
Amirah and Jarrell Cook are literally two crazy kids from the hood who had a dream and took a chance. While their life sounds like the beginning of every travel blogger story ever told (they married then quit their jobs and sold all their belongings to travel the world) , what makes these two different is that then, and now, they’ve done it their way – no sponsors, no ads, no group trip sales, just old fashion hustle. Currently on the fifth year of their indefinite honeymoon, the couple regularly shares the challenges they face, how they manage finances, and everything in between, so that followers can build the life of their dreams on their terms too.

Oh, and don’t worry about all the extra pounds you might pick up following her food recommendations, Anquanette makes sure to throw some fitness videos in the mix so you can join her in the #bodygoals section too.

Now with little Kennedy in tow, this family of four jetsets around the globe sharing tips and tricks that will help other parents keep the fun and passport stamps coming.
