About us
HARDY + LIU How We Met…
The short version of our story? We met on Tinder. It was all about timing and being in the right place at the right time. Our first messages covered everything from our Asian cultures, gardening, and travel to quantum physics and board games. Eventually, we decided to meet up with friends for a fun game of Catan. It was Michael’s first time playing, and unsurprisingly, he lost. But he did manage to snag the Longest Road award—and Joey’s heart—after becoming the first person to beat her in foosball on a later date.
Fast forward to today, and our relationship is still thriving thanks to those initial conversations, shared dreams, and an unwavering commitment to supporting each other. Our love for travel, meaningful experiences, and growing together as a multicultural family continues to be the foundation of our journey.
We are all about community, sharing family travel stories, tips for navigating life as a multicultural quad-racial family, and ways to save while enjoying life’s adventures. Whether you want or need family travel tips, parenting hacks, or saving strategies, we invite you to follow along.
We believe in transparency and strive to offer only free content including blogs and videos via YouTube & Instagram. Occasionally, we include affiliate links to products we personally recommend, like the Catan game that brought us together. If you’re interested in Catan, feel free to support us by purchasing the game through our link below. This one offers us a 3% kickback.


Multiplying by 2…
We met in July and naturally discovered our definitions of family were magically aligned. By November we were expecting Kamali. Once he was out of diapers at age 2, Xolani was on the way. We decided to keep our own surnames through marriage. As a result, 1 Hardy and 1 Liu has been multiplied to 2 Hardy’s and 2 Liu’s.
