What started as a chance encounter eventually grew into a shared dream: to slow travel across the globe and experience the world in a more meaningful way. In this video, we share our story of how we met, how that connection evolved, and how we made the decision to step away from a traditional lifestyle. We also talk broadly about how we prepared financially, simplified our lives, and saved money to make long-term travel sustainable without rushing from place to place. This isn’t about luxury travel or fixed itineraries—it’s about slow travel, intentional living, and choosing experiences over things. If you’re curious about digital nomad life, long-term travel, early planning, or how everyday people can design a life of freedom and exploration, this video is for you. Whether you’re dreaming of traveling the world, interested in how couples navigate life on the road, or simply enjoy real stories about unconventional paths, we hope this inspires you to think differently about what’s possible.
