but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
Welcome to our world, we are the DSquad Family and we are so excited for you to be a part of our journey with us. We are a crazy family of 5 and we live for adventure and travel, but it didn't start out as easy as you would expect. Hold on to your seats as I tell you how it all began. It all started out fifteen years ago when an immigrant from Brazil swooped in and captured the heart of a lost American girl. What was intended to be a one-night stand turned into a family overnight when I found out I was pregnant with Gabriel. If you have ever seen the movie "Knocked Up" that is pretty much how our life played out. Luiz is probably the best guy in the world, as soon as he found out I was pregnant, he made the decision to step up and be an amazing father even though we barely knew each other. I consider myself extremely lucky, because I know there are so many guys in this world that would not take our situation and turn it into a family like Luiz did. We have overcome so much in our first years together it feels like we can get through anything. We went from two complete strangers and turned into parents raising a child together literally overnight. We went on to have two beautiful daughters, went through a long and scary process for Junior to become an American Citizen, we started and sold several different companies, and along the way we got caught up in the rat race of life. We were working so hard to maintain a lifestyle that was not providing joy OR time with our family. So we did a thing... We sold all of our properties and gave away mostly all of our possessions to pick up and travel the world together. This was a really big deal, especially since I have a fear of flying! This whole experience has been about going on an adventure even if it takes us outside of our comfort zone and overcoming the fears that we have been holding on to. Each of our adventures takes one of us another step outside of our box. In the midst of all these changes we have also taken up a new hobby of surfing. So now, we not only travel to seek the next big adventure, or conquer the next big fear, but we also travel to find the next big wave to surf!

Check this page out to see all of the Dsquad Family Travels. One thing that we sincerely enjoy is our travels. We enjoy journeys together as a family exploring new places and expanding our comfort level. Junior and Gabriel seem to have no fear, so they are always eager to try new things, even the things on the dangerous side like shark diving, bungee jumping and sky diving. Danielle and Nina on the other hand, tag along for the adventure and try to put on a brave face, but sometimes we get dragged a bit out of our comfort zone. I like to think of our family as fear conquerers because in the end, we are so proud to have completed the adventure at hand. We also enjoy experiencing new foods as we travel to new places. With Junior being from Brazil, one of our favorite cultures of food is Brazillian! Within our travel videos we try to provide you with some of the tips and tricks we have learned along the way. We love helping others and meeting new people, so do not be shy to comment and say hi on our videos. Also, if you ever have any questions, feel free to throw us a comment and we will always respond!
