The Great Attempt
Welcome to
TGA was created out of a desire to live life boldly, embrace the unknown, and inspire others to do the same. What began as a simple idea - documenting the journey of an average couple stepping beyond their comfort zone - has transformed into a global adventure.
Along the way, we’ve found a deep passion for shining a light on rescue efforts and conservation causes around the world. TGA is more than just travel; it’s about pursuing passions, exploring the world’s hidden corners, and showing that anyone can take the leap toward their dreams. Every story, experience, and destination we share serves as a reminder that life’s greatest moments come from daring to make "The Great Attempt."

Did you know only 1% of Australians have ever seen a platypus?! And being American the percentage of this happening if even smaller! 🤯
📍Broken River in Eungella National Park
Mackay, Australia 🇦🇺
✨ TIPS ✨
🕰️ Timing: Platypus are most active at dawn and dusk.
🤫 Noise: They are extremely skittish; remain quiet and watch for small rings or ripples in the water rather than a large splashing animal.
🗓️ Season: They are commonly seen during the colder months (when they need to forage more for food) and during the spring breeding season
‼️ And as always lets be kind protectors of this Earth - ONLY visit if you will respect their space & environment 😉

Meet the Founders
Howdy Howdy! What's Going On Friends! 👋🏼
We're Rhett and Lynnae, the adventurous duo behind TGA ✨
A little about us: Rhett hails from the great state of Texas, while Lynnae is from a small town in Pennsylvania. We met in Hollywood, of all places, while studying the art of storytelling at a film program. From there, our journey began.
As a married couple with a shared love for travel and discovery, we left behind the ordinary to embrace a nomadic lifestyle, checking off bucket list destinations one by one.
Through TGA, we hope to encourage others to seek discomfort, chase their passions, and explore the beauty of the world, all while having a little fun along the way. With an authentic, down-to-earth approach, we aim to make adventure feel accessible to everyone!
Whether you're looking for travel tips, stories of personal growth, or just a bit of humor, we invite you to join us on The Great Attempt at living life to the fullest! ✨
