Quit Your Job and Travel the World: How we did it and you can too!
What do you get when you mix love, wanderlust, and an entrepreneurial spirit? Well, it looks something like us, and for us it’s a perfect mix!
The freedom this life provides and the amount of time we get to spend with each other is invaluable to us. It’s exactly what we need to be happy. But is it for you?
I’ve written this post to help you figure that out. Continue reading “The Realities of Life as a Digital Nomad Couple: Can You Handle It?”
It takes courage to quit a stable job and head out into the unknown. And it can take even more to do it without someone to hold your hand. So far in our interview series we’ve met couples who’ve decided to take the leap together — with the support of the other the whole way. But now you’re about to meet two travelers who did it alone! Their individual courage ultimately brought them together — you might say it was fate! — but these two individuals were successfully traveling solo before they met. Chris Tyre of Chicago, Illinois and Ismary Torres of Barcelona, Venezuela are proof that you can do this alone… and that you can meet amazing people (even that special someone) along the way.
Want to hear their story? Let’s begin with how these (formerly) solo travelers recently joined forces… just a few months back! Continue reading “Featured Travel Couple: Chris Tyre and Ismary Torres [Interview 6]”
Meet Amy Dresser and Nathan Hartle: writers, travelers, and recently-engaged lovers (Congrats, you two!) behind Two Drifters.
As any nomad will tell you, sustainable travel is NOT about saving up money in advance. Sure, you should save a little, but more importantly, reducing your daily expenses will make the biggest impact on your success as a full-time traveler. And as you’ll discover, Amy and Nathan have that ALL figured out. Find out how this pair of digital nomads achieved location independence without even planning on it in our interview below. But first, let’s let them introduce themselves! Continue reading “Featured Travel Couple: Amy Dresser and Nathan Hartle of Two Drifters [Interview 5]”
Meet Jenia and Sergey, the location-independent pair behind House to Laos!
If there’s one thing I’ve personally learned from our travel couple interview series so far, it’s that everyone’s situation is unique. And this is a story we certainly haven’t heard yet. While most full-time travelers almost entirely give up life as they know it at home, Sergey and Jenia have proven that location independence is possible while also owning a home! So for you homeowners out there with traveling dreams: it IS possible. Read on to find out how! Continue reading “Featured Travel Couple: Jenia Ustinova and Sergey Guryakov of House to Laos [Interview 4]”
Meet Brandon Quittem and Anne Rapp, a.k.a. The Yoga Nomads!
Now approaching their 2-year travel-versary, this pair of nomadic yogis pushed health and happiness to the forefront when they decided to call it quits on American norms two summers back and began booking flights for their first destination. Today, they’re still roaming about (exploring the Pacific Northwest when we caught up with them for this interview), with a boatload of awesome experiences and a blog full of yoga-licious travel posts. (Check out their photos below and you’ll see what I mean.)
Ready for an intro to this couple’s yoga-infused nomadic lifestyle? Let’s let them say hello! Continue reading “Featured Travel Couple: Brandon Quittem and Anne Rapp of The Yoga Nomads [Interview 3]”
