Our Story

Back in 2019, during a vacation through Southeast Asia, we met a couple who were traveling the world while working online. At the time, the term “digital nomad” wasn’t widely known, but the seed was planted. We started imagining what a life like that could look like for us.

Just a few months after returning home, the COVID lockdown hit — and like many others, we suddenly had to figure out how to work remotely. Over the next several months, we weighed the pros and cons of this “crazy” idea and ultimately decided to move forward with a plan to leave the United States in January 2021.

Leaving our grown kids behind was the hardest part. But during the pandemic, we couldn’t spend time with them anyway, so we thought: why not give this a try? Beyond the lure of adventure, there was another strong motivator — money. With rising housing costs in Seattle, growing debt, and uncertainty around Jason’s employment during the pandemic, a lower cost of living felt not only appealing but necessary.

On October 31, 2020, we packed our lives into a few suitcases, left Seattle, and began a journey that would change us forever.

Four Years on the Road

Our travels have taken us across Mexico, into Costa Rica, and even through an unplanned four-month stay in Granada, Nicaragua, where we house-sat before returning to Mexico to continue our journey. Along the way, we’ve learned how to work productively from anywhere, how to be better partners, and honestly — how to be better humans.

We’ve experienced breathtaking moments that left us speechless… and we’ve also faced devastating personal loss, life-threatening medical challenges, and unexpected business setbacks. We’ve lost clients overnight and had to change our plans more times than we can count.

But through it all, we’ve kept moving forward — more determined than ever to reach our goals

What We’ve Learned

Today, life looks very different than it did when we first started. If there’s one thing we’ve discovered, it’s this:

Travel is something you pay for that pays you back endlessly.

The perspective you gain, the moments you live, and the connections you make change the way you see the world — and yourself. No matter what happens, no one can take that away from you.

What’s Next

We’re still traveling, still building, and still sharing. This space will grow with us as we add new features, free resources, and blog posts designed to educate, entertain, and inspire.

Check back often — the journey is far from over.

In the meantime, please love yourself, take care of your money and spread around some kindness whenever you can.

-Adventure Awaits!

XOXO
