What if I told you there’s a village where cars are completely banned, roads were never built and everyone travels by boat?
Welcome to Giethoorn, Netherlands – a place so unique it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. This isn’t some tourist attraction built for show… it’s a real village where 2,800 people actually live, connected by 180 bridges and a network of canals that were accidentally created centuries ago.
Behind the scenes, we’ve been planning and preparing for an epic trip to Uganda with some longtime friends from Texas. When we realized we’d have a layover in Amsterdam, we thought – why not finally check out this little fairytale village we’d heard so much about?
We spent two incredible days exploring this car-free paradise. And I don’t know if it was the water or the perfectly manicured landscapes, but I have never had a more beautiful or relaxing layover.
Next stop, UGANDA!
_______________________
WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Things We’re Most Curious About…
GETTING OFF-GRID
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We’ve learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
TALKING TO STRANGERS
People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment.
Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving.
ALTERNATIVE LIVING
These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home, work and community.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

Gone with the Wynns
Hello. We’re Jason and Nikki Wynn, a couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity. We believe Curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It’s what pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions and helps us embrace the great unknown. The future is a sea of uncertainty and each of us has a choice: to focus on problems or possibilities. Our goal is to cultivate a sense of curiosity about what is possible. “Every explorer I have met has been driven—not coincidentally but quintessentially—by curiosity, by a single-minded, insatiable, and even jubilant need to know.” ― Jacques-Yves Cousteau You can learn a lot more about us on our website: https://gonewiththewynns.com
