Keep Loving What Moves You!
The "L.A.C. F.A.C.T.O.R." of all things that move
L: Little Faith & Love
We give all our thanks and gratitude to our Lord Jesus. Nothing is impossible with his love, and we are able to love all things that move because of him.
He tells us about moving, in Matthew 17:20, He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
A: Automobiles
We love cars and we love to drive but we don't just mean cars. Automobiles is anything that moves automatically, which most of the times has a motor and powered in many different ways.
C: Cruises
Being out on the water is just magical. Some cruises are these mega ships and go all over the world, but we've also taken the shortest ferry ride in the Unites States, which took only 2 minutes and fit only 3 cars.
F: Flying
Sure airplanes are the normal, but there's other ways to fly. We've also had the fortunate luck of being in 8 helicopter rides, and we think ziplining is like flying. What do you think? Oh and we have a dream of flying in a hot air balloon!
A: Animals
Are you one of those people who can play with and stare at animals for hours? We are! Sadly, we are severely allergic so we can't have household pets, but we do all we can to love animals as much as possible. Since we have a dairy allergy, we don't consume any lactose products, but we are not vegan. We do our best to consume humanely raised, treated, and certified meats and fish.
C: Concerts
We love to sing and dance, and nothing beats a live show. Being together with thousands of people truly moves our spirits. 2020-2022 was a challenging time for many around the world. We were so sad when all live in-person events were cancelled. Once some normalcy had returned, we made a pledge to do our best to see a 'live performance' as often as possible. This could be a concert, a theater show, sporting event, etc. - Just something LIVE and in person. See our page "Extra" on the all events we've seen!
T: Trains
Our love and use of trains started when we were young and has never stopped. We finally got to ride some trains in Europe and we just loved it. We do our best to try out the metro in every city. Top speed so far on a train: 220mph!
O: Oceans
Even if we're not out on a cruise, admiring the ocean from land is a thing of beauty. We are fortunate enough to live about 1 hour away from the Atlantic Ocean, and we try to visit and enjoy as many beaches as possible. Some of our favorites are Koki Beach in the Virgin Islands, Ipanema in Rio De Janeiro, and Santa Monica in California.
R: Roads
We love the movie franchise 'Fast and Furious', and to quote Dom Toretto: "They say an open road helps you think. About where you've been and where you're going." Road trips are the best! Sometimes we have a big plan, and sometimes, we just head in a direction and see what happens.
What makes Lac Factor Unique?
Let us start out by saying we just love watching some of our favorite vloggers on YouTube out exploring the world. It would seem like almost every destination has been covered and there are no more secrets. So why then should we be out there being “lovers of all things that move”? Because that’s our love and our dreams. It’s hard to put aside your dreams – and you should never let your dreams die either.
When we share our travel journeys and our love for “all things that move” it is our unique experiences. Sometimes things go really well, while other times we have some challenges. We often travel with our family and some friends, who also add uniqueness to our trips. We do our best to make the content interesting, relevant, (sometimes) funny, and hopefully educational. Both of us being College Professors, with years of experience in different work areas, we can offer a unique perspective on things.
You will also see the obstacles we face when trying to find dairy-free food everywhere. You would not think this is a tall challenge, but it really is. Almost everything has dairy in it! This is one of the major reasons why we started doing our report cards (listed here on the website and there are YouTube videos that go along with them on our channels). It is our hope that you find the report cards helpful in making decisions for yourself in upcoming travel plans.
