Tawny McVay

Once upon a time, Tawny McVay was a gym owner and fitness guru who spent her days yelling at people to do more burpees and deadlifting her way through life's problems. After a decade of non-stop grind, she and husband Mike realized they wanted more life lived outside the walls of a gym and in the great wide world. 

They sold everything, converted a school bus into a tiny home, and started traveling full-time, documenting their travels on social media under the name Since We Woke Up. Today, three years and thousands of miles later, they now split their time between traveling and building a small homestead on the land they park the bus on, a journey documented in her first book, also named Since We Woke Up. 

When she isn't driving the bus or writing, you'll find her in her garden talking to plants, on their rooftop deck enjoying the sunsets with a cup of coffee in hand, or with a plane ticket clutched in her hand, ready for a new adventure.
