We are world wanderers who firmly advocate for embracing life's full potential. Our blog is a testament to our nomadic expedition as slow travelers, proving that journeying across the globe can often be more economical than remaining within the confines of one's own abode. But our aspirations extend beyond inspiring individuals to embark on a leisurely journey; we aim to encourage a profound shift in the way people contemplate and design their own life paths.
Our FREE travel tool lets you manage your budget as a nomad so you can enjoy every moment of it.
We made work optional to slow travel the world full-time
About Us:
We are a nomadic couple coming from both France and the USA, who embarked on early retirement in their 30s.
Our Journey:
In 2018, we decided to let go of most of our possessions, bid farewell to the busy life in San Francisco, and bid adieu to our nine-to-fives jobs. This marked the beginning of our endless adventure, as we set out to explore the world at our own pace.
What We’re All About:
This blog is a testament to the valuable lessons we’ve learned during our nomadic journey and the intricacies of crafting a life that resonates with our true selves. Our mission is to ignite inspiration in others and empower them to live the life they’ve always dreamed of.
Our Travel Milestones:
Since the outset of our journey, we’ve hopped from one captivating location to another, making our way to numerous destinations. As of July 2023, our travel map showcases our footprints in 48 different locations spanning 18 diverse countries across 4 continents.
Demystifying Travel Costs:
A common misconception is that travel is an expensive endeavor. However, during our inaugural year of nomadic exploration, we dispelled this notion by managing our expenses to an astounding total of total of $28,628, which averages out to a mere $38 per day per person (that is 50% of what we used to spent back in California). This frugal approach allowed us to appreciate that we could “Travel the world for less than the cost of staying home!” Our blog is a treasure trove of detailed cost-of-living reports that demonstrate how this can be achieved.
