Who is Ordinary Traveler?

Christy&Scott

Ordinary Traveler is run by two pro photographers who are torn between two separate worlds - non-stop adventure travel & living a "normal" life in coastal San Diego.

Follow our journey while we juggle the day-to-day life of jobs, friends and family with extreme wanderlust; while testing the waters with our new surf bikini designs.
