Ep.173 Mostar, in Herzegovina, is often called Bosnia’s most beautiful city. It looks like a postcard, but the layers run deeper. It’s often a day trip, but we decided to stay a week. There was so much we had to discover about its beauty, its history, its people, and traditions. We didn’t just visit Mostar. We tried to understand it — and we’d love for you to come along. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Ep.172 Most people rush through Kotor, Montenegro — but we stayed three weeks. What we found in Kotor and Dobrota went far beyond sightseeing: neighbors, daily rhythms, and a side of this place cruise passengers never see. It proved to us why slowing down changes everything you take away from a place. We share mobility ratings throughout and our costs at the end! ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Ep.171 The biggest fear we hear about long-term or extended travel is missing family and friends. We thought that might be true for us, too, until the opposite happened. This episode is about the connections we never expected, and how travel expanded our circle instead of shrinking it. We share how friendships and conversations reshaped our journey and how you can find your people while traveling. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Ep.170 What happens when a country’s most famous symbol isn’t even within its borders? We spent two weeks in Yerevan, Armenia chasing Mount Ararat, the country’s national symbol and the mountain tied to Noah’s Ark. Along the way, we explored the city’s pink-stone streets, its food and markets, the Cascade, and the moving Genocide Memorial. Our search took us outside the city to the Arch of Charents, Garni Temple, the volcanic cliffs of the Symphony of Stones, and the rock-hewn Geghard Monaste...
Ep.169 After 1000 days in a row on the road, we stopped chasing a checklist and started listening for the story each place wants to show us. In this episode, we share the ten small rules that changed how we travel—simple shifts that make trips calmer, easier, and more memorable. They’ll work whether you have a long weekend, two months, or are a full-time traveler. See what changed and how you can use these ideas on your next trip. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Ep.168 Vacations are supposed to recharge you, so why do so many leave us exhausted? In this episode, we dive into travel burnout—why traditional vacations often lead to vacation fatigue—and share simple slow travel tips that help you come home rested, not drained. If you’ve ever felt like you needed a vacation after your vacation, you’re not alone. Join us as we explore the hidden “vacation trap” and how to make your trips more relaxing, sustainable, and enjoyable. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Su...
Ep.167 What if retirement wasn’t something you waited for, but something you shaped for yourself? In this episode, we talk about what really changed when we stopped asking for permission—from retiring without a perfect plan to learning how to spend without guilt, slow down without apologies, and live like this chapter belongs to us. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!

Ep.166 In this video, we explore Tbilisi not just as travelers but as curious observers trying to understand a country still fighting for its identity. From bold street art near a former Soviet sewing factory to centuries-old statues and cathedrals, nightly protests, and the towering symbolism of the Mother of Georgia, we share the layered, emotional story of our time here. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!

Ep.165 Cagliari probably isn’t on your bucket list, but maybe it should be. We came to Sardinia to sightsee… but also to slow down. During our a month in Cagliari, we fell for more than the historic towers and ancient streets—we found a rhythm of life that felt slower, simpler, and better. This video isn’t about checking off the sights. It’s about sharing what surprised us, the moments that felt meaningful, and why Cagliari, Sardinia’s capital, became a place we didn’t want to leave. If you’r...
Ep.164 Think you know Prague? We share both iconic spots and places you might never have seen. Along the way, we tell some stories you might not have known. From surprising meals and quirky art to emotional moments, we take you beyond the guidebook and into the Prague that surprised us. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Ep.163 We thought we knew how to communicate. But full-time travel? It rewrote the rulebook. And not because of big fights, but because of all the little things. After 40+ years together, we didn’t expect moods, routines, space, and constant decision making to test us like this. In this episode, we’re sharing how travel changed the way we talk to each other, from managing daily logistics to navigating tension, compromise, and very different energy levels. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!

Ep.162 Viewers ask us: “What’s your plan if you can’t travel anymore?“ In this video, we talk about aging as nomads, future retirement options abroad, and how we’re planning for the years ahead without giving up the life we love now. If this is a question you wrestle with, or whether you’re thinking about finding a home base, whether to pay for Medicare, and living overseas, this conversation is for you. We talk about all of this and more! ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Ep.161 Gozo is often described as quieter and slower than Malta’s main island, and that made us almost skip it. But we’re so glad we didn’t. We take you along for two day trips—one with our daughter (featuring a detour to the Blue Lagoon and Comino) and one just the two of us. We’ll show you how we got around, what made the biggest impression, and why some retirees are choosing to live here. You'll also find accessibility ratings and on-screen costs. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Ep.160 Malta may look like a sunny beach escape, but we included it in our travels because it’s so much more. We spent a month here and uncovered ancient sites, sacred traditions, and small daily joys that took us by surprise. From a 5,000-year-old underground temple to a powerful religious procession, we’re sharing what we spent, where we stayed, and whether Malta might just be Europe’s most overlooked cultural treasure. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!

Ep.159 We’ve traveled across six continents, but only a handful of places truly changed how we see the world. These are the ones that surprised us, challenged us, and stayed with us long after we left. We hope they inspire you to reflect on the places that have changed you, too. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!

Ep.158 Full-time travel sounds like the dream to many, but nearly half of the people who try it quietly stop within the first year. Why? And how can you avoid the same fate? This is the episode to watch if you’ve ever considered full-time travel or just want to understand what it really takes. We unpack the emotional costs no one talks about, the hidden pressures that slowly wear people down, and the mindset shift that helped us keep going. You’ll hear what surprised us most, what we wish we’...
Ep.157 Aging hasn’t felt the way we expected. We thought life would slow down in our 60s — but instead, it’s shifted in ways that still surprise us. In this personal episode, we’re sharing what it really feels like to grow older while living on the road… the trade-offs, the joys, the questions we didn’t know we’d be asking. And the one thing we’d tell our younger selves, if we could go back. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Ep.156 We came for the tacos… and stayed for the pyramids, the hidden murals, and the deep history of Mexico City. There was so much we didn’t know before we arrived — but this sprawling, fascinating city had layers to uncover at every turn. In this episode, we share our personal highlights: where to stay, how to get around (with mobility ratings), what surprised us most, and exactly what we spent during our two-week stay. Whether you're planning your first visit to CDMX or just dreaming abou...
Ep.155 We arrived in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico just in time for a 400-year-old festival and left completely enchanted. In this video, we explore the art, history, and hidden layers that make this city unforgettable. From rooftop views and revolutionary roots to indigenous traditions still alive today, San Miguel surprised us at every turn. We’ll show you what moved us most, share mobility tips, and break down exactly what we spent. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
Costa Rica’s one of those places you picture in your head — wild jungles, crashing waves, colorful creatures. Why did we base ourselves in the capital city of San José — and was that a mistake? That question led to two day trips, and one big lesson we didn’t see coming. In this video, we’ll share what surprised us, what we would do differently next time, the unforgettable places we explored — and how much it all cost. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
