MEET THE BLOGGERS
Hello! We are Sandra and Matt Ransdell.
We’re Sandra and Matt — partners in life, law, and travel. We’ve been together for 18 years, married for 12, and somehow still choose to sit next to each other on long flights.
By day (and sometimes night), we’re full-time attorneys running our own law practice. By passion, we’re animal lovers, travelers, storytellers, photographers, hikers, food lovers, and lifelong learners. Sandra is also a fine art photographer, capturing the world through a slower, more intentional lens at sandraransdell.com.
We currently call Utah home after moving from Florida, trading humidity for mountains, hiking trails, ski days, and endless outdoor inspiration. When we’re not traveling, you’ll usually find us cooking something ambitious, chasing golden light with a camera, camping under the stars, hiking, skiing or planning our next escape.
We love contrast — fine dining and hole-in-the-wall joints, buzzing cities and quiet small towns, luxury moments and gritty adventures. What matters most to us is curiosity, connection, and fully experiencing the places we’re lucky enough to visit.
Why We Share Our Travels.
For most of our adult lives, travel meant carefully stacking PTO days, squeezing trips into tight windows, and returning home exhausted but fulfilled. We know what it’s like to want more time, deeper experiences, and a way to travel that feels intentional — even while working demanding careers.
Now that we work for ourselves and remotely, we’re embracing slow travel: staying longer, moving less, and actually living in destinations instead of just visiting them.
Through this blog, we share:
- Bucket List Trips — unforgettable destinations and experiences that inspire meaningful travel.
- Animal Adventures — ethical wildlife encounters and stories that connect you to nature.
- Hiking Experiences — trails, tips, and what to expect to help you hike with confidence.
- Hidden Gems & Real Moments — lesser-known places and honest, behind-the-scenes experiences.
- Practical Tips & Inspiration — simple guidance to help you plan and create your own adventures.
Our goal isn’t to sell a fantasy. It’s to show what’s possible, inspire you to travel more intentionally, and help you design trips — long or short — that feel meaningful and doable.
One of the best parts of life are the spontaneous moments that make you laugh!
01. Exploring the tomb of Tut Ankh Amun in Egypt / 02. Camel ride in the Egypt dessert / 03. Overlooking Al-Khazneh in the ancient city of Petra in Jordan / 04. Top of Mount Sinai in Egypt
It all started with a trip in 2009!
One of our very first conversations was about travel — which felt fitting when our first trip together was a three-week adventure through Egypt and Jordan. Somewhere between ancient temples, desert landscapes, and long travel days on dirty overnight trains, we realized we were incredibly compatible.
Since then, together and separately, we’ve traveled to over 40 countries across the world. From wildlife encounters and epic hikes to unforgettable meals and quiet moments in unfamiliar places, travel has shaped who we are and how we see the world.
What began as a shared love for exploration has grown into a lifestyle rooted in curiosity, freedom, and connection — and Two Endless Tickets is our way of inviting you along for the journey.
Because travel doesn’t have to be rushed. And the best stories take time.
