Daily Inspiration: Meet Trudy and Anthony Lane

Today we’d like to introduce you to Trudy and Anthony Lane. They and their team shared their story with us below:

Tony was a full-time fireman/paramedic, and Trudy was and still is employed in healthcare with TeamHealth. In addition to our careers, we owned and operated a CrossFit gym, Stat CrossFit. Tony retired from the Fire Department at the end of 2018. We LOVED our CrossFit gym and all our members, but we did want to start traveling a bit more. We decided to retire from the CrossFit business and, at that time, started Stat Travels. We wanted to share our adventures with our family, friends, and other travel enthusiasts through Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. 

We do love traveling internationally and have had the opportunity to visit several countries. Trudy has visited 32 and Tony 36. We have so many favorites but absolutely loved Jerusalem, and Europe is AWESOME! 

We have had the chance to visit all 50 US States and had a blast seeing and experiencing our beautiful country. 

We love traveling with our kids and introducing our grandkids to travel. While traveling in the US, we have a Ford Transit Camper Van. We have had a blast working on the van. We are trying to stay young through hiking, biking and CrossFit. 

We have homes in Ohio and Florida. While in Ohio, we focus on hiking the Buckeye Trail, while in Florida, the Florida National Trail, and when traveling between the two states, we are hiking the Appalachian Trail! 

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
During 2020 through 2023, we did have to cancel 3 international trips. During that time, we bought the Van and began the conversion. It was also during this time we fell in love with hiking and biking. 

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Both of our careers have been in the health and service industries. We actually met in the Emergency Department. As we are both near the age of 60, we have a goal to stay as healthy and young as possible. While traveling, this takes planning. We try to plan every detail when traveling related to sleep, nutrition, and working out. We do plan a “treat” meal once a week and enjoy finding the best local pizza, bakery, and/or ice cream shop. 

Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
We don’t believe in luck. We are truly blessed and have worked hard to enjoy life.
