Tony and Thera Messina

Adventurers / Humanitarians / Investors

Tony & Thera defined their why in their early 20’s & have been working tirelessly towards their dream ever since. Their why is to travel the world & help those in need. Their passion is seeing & experiencing new places, meeting people from around the world with diverse backgrounds, & giving back. Their dream was to do this full-time & after 10 years as business professionals, investing is what helped them fulfill their dream.

Individually & together, they have always had a drive to make the world a better place. They realized at a very young age that while there is a lot of good in the world, there is also a lot of pain & we can only make the world better by helping one another.

Tony was diagnosed with stage 4 pediatric brain cancer at 3-years-old & the only way that he & his family were able to get through this was with the help & support of his family & community.

As a child, Thera also learned the importance of building & learning from a community as she & her family built a house by hand under the guidance of friends & contractors. Learning these skills is what allowed her family to invest in properties & remodel them into bed & breakfast-like rental homes, which not only helped put all 6 kids through school, but also allowed them to support others by integrating them into the family.

From these childhood experiences & through building relationships within their communities, they developed a curiosity for understanding other people’s views & experiences first-hand. They set a goal to travel to all 7 continents & visit over 30 countries before the age of 30. They made that goal a priority & had the opportunity to complete it through smart investing & career planning.

In 2023, they left their corporate jobs to travel full-time & continue to pursue & fulfill their true passion. To date, they’ve traveled to more than 60 countries & they plan to continue to travel the world full-time inspiring others & bringing awareness to social & environmental causes.
