Episodes to Watch
Ep.110 If you’ve been thinking about traveling full time or even considered extended travel, but you’re still on the fence, this episode might give you the confidence to take the leap like we did two years ago. These are the ideas that people don’t talk about nearly enough. We’ve learned ways to make ourselves happier and enjoy our retirement more and we can’t wait to share those secrets with you.
Ep.108 We didn’t have a million dollars in the bank, but we saw a chance to retire early while we still were healthy and we took it. After almost 2 years of full-time travel, we have no regrets. Watch to hear how and why we did it and find out if you could retire early too!
Ep.104 These are the NEED-TO-KNOW tips before you schedule your bucket list visit to the Amalfi Coast. Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, and Capri are beautiful destinations, but do you know how much it costs to move between these places? Don’t blow your budget before you arrive!
Ep.99 We spent over four months in Southeast Asia and want to share all that we’ve learned so you can decide if any of these three countries are right for you. There’s a lot to love about all the cities we stayed: Saigon, Hanoi, Hoi An, Siem Reap, and Chiang Mai.
Ep.98 One of our favorite things to do in Taipei was to explore the night markets. We rank three of them and bring you along with us as we taste an assortment of flavors, including a few Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand winning stalls. Are you team Shilin, Ningxia, or Raohe?
Ep.96 Mistakes can happen to anyone, regardless of how seasoned of a traveler you are. One mistake is silly, one could have had seriously unpleasant consequences, and all are preventable. While it might be less embarrassing to keep these private, we’d prefer to have you learn from us and save yourself the hassle of making these same errors.
Ep.95 We were in Taipei during the biggest Taiwan earthquake in over 25 years. It made us think, “Are we prepared for a natural disaster as full-time travelers?”
Ep.85 Ever wondered how hard it is to get medical care while traveling or worried about how much it might cost? We visit Chiang Mai Ram Hospital, which is known for its outstanding medical care in Thailand. We did a full battery of screenings and addressed some health issues.
Ep.84 If you’ve ever come back from a vacation and wished you could stay longer or wondered what it would be like to quit your job and travel the world, this episode is for you. We sold/donated everything we owned in 2022 to travel as digital nomads. There are good things… and not so good things about this “road less traveled.” We give you the real scoop about all of it.
Ep.77 You have questions and we have answers! After a year of full-time travel, we share our best tips for the cost-conscious traveler to help you save money while you explore the world. Our tips work for vacation travel as well!
Ep.64 One of the biggest worries when traveling abroad is what to do when you need medical care. We take you through our entire process of getting a necessary surgery while in Belgrade, Serbia. We share video from inside the hospital to give you as much information as possible.
Ep.41 There’s nothing worse than getting sick while traveling — or worse, suffering a long-term illness. Watch our process for getting properly vaccinated for our month in Egypt while living in Greece and Italy.
