Jones Traveling Circus
Howdy! We’re a nomadic family of six that ditched the “American Dream” and instead sold everything we own, quit our jobs, and set out on an adventure.
We had plans to circle the globe in 2020, but Covid changed that. Instead we spent 2020-2021 exploring Colorado, Utah, and Hawaii.
At the end of 2021 we moved to Invercargill, New Zealand at the very bottom of the world and we’re loving our time here!
Our travels
We started exploring Colorado and Utah in 2020 when international travel shutdown due to COVID. See all the places we’ve visited and our favorite things to do.
Our itineraries
We’ve done quite a bit of travel with and without our kids. Find itineraries for New Zealand, Iceland, Switzerland, and more. Find our recommended activities, accommodations, and deals here.
Our favorites
While traveling full-time with our 4 kids we have found some products that we love. You’ll find all of our favorites and our recommendations for photo and video equipment as well.
About us
We're Donnie and Danielle (also known as Mama Doctor Jones). We have 4 kids, Amelia, Reese, Milo, and Paxton. Donnie is a software developer and Danielle is a board-certified OB/GYN. We've lived in Texas our whole lives and have always dreamed of doing something different than the typical American Dream. We explored early retirement but have decided to put off financial freedom in order to maximize the time with our kids while they are little.
