    Why Auckland Deserves More Than a Stopover

    Ep.190 Most travelers rush through Auckland, but we discovered there’s far more here than meets the eye. During our nine days in the city, we found wild coastlines, meaningful cultural experiences, and small everyday moments that completely reshaped how we saw New Zealand’s biggest city. If you’re considering a trip here (and we hope you do!), we share what we spent at the end. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show

    Why We Changed Our 2026 Travel Plans

    Ep.189 When we started planning 2026, everything worked on paper. But the more we looked at it, the more we realized we were about to travel in a way that didn’t feel like us anymore. In this video, we share WHY we changed our 2026 travel plans, where we slowed down, where we went big, and what we deliberately chose not to do. This isn’t a list of destinations; it’s how we think about time, movement, and meaning as full-time travelers. If you’re planning a long trip or trying to travel with more intention, we hope this gives you a new way to think about shaping your own year. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show

    Why Travel Makes It So Hard to Stay Healthy

    Ep.188 Travel changed more for us than we expected, and it wasn’t the planning, packing, or logistics. In this episode, we respond to a simple viewer question that made us stop and take a hard look at how travel has quietly reshaped our daily habits, our routines, and how our bodies feel over time. What we discovered surprised us, and it turns out it’s not just a travel issue. If travel—or life—has ever left you feeling out of rhythm, this episode is for you. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!

    We Almost Skipped Tasmania… BIG Mistake

    Ep.187 Tasmania wasn’t originally part of our Australia plan. It’s an island off the mainland, and honestly, we just didn’t know much about it going in. But once we started learning about its history—especially Port Arthur—we knew it was a place we wanted to experience for ourselves. This was the version of Australia we hoped to find! We share what our time in Hobart was really like, what surprised us, and why we’re so glad we didn’t skip it. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show

    We were halfway around the world when we got the news

    Ep.186 Some decisions don’t come with a right answer. This week’s episode is a conversation about how people make hard decisions when every option carries a cost. It’s something that comes up in long-term travel, but also in everyday life. We share how we thought through a difficult decision, not to suggest it’s the right one, but to offer a framework others might find helpful when facing their own impossible choices. There are moments when presence, timing, logistics, grief, and responsibility all pull in different directions and clarity doesn’t come easily. Our Hobart video is coming next. For now, thank you for being part of a community that values thoughtful conversations as much as beautiful places. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show

    Why Melbourne Feels Different Than Sydney

    Ep.185 Melbourne surprised us in ways we didn’t expect. It wasn’t through landmarks or highlights, but through how the city actually works and feels. In this video, we share what stood out most, the moments that changed how we experienced the city, and what we learned by paying attention to daily life, people, and place. If you’re curious about Melbourne beyond the checklist, this is our honest take. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube! Support the show

    45,000 Miles Later This Is What Stays With You

    Ep.183 This year took us across 45,000 miles, and only later did we realize the memories that stayed weren’t the ones we expected. In this video, we’re unpacking the five patterns that made moments forgettable versus imprinted forever. They showed up in big cities and small towns, in the middle of joyful surprises and in the messier moments too. These aren’t “best of” highlights but they’re the things that are changing the way we move through the world. If you’ve ever traveled long enough to notice your mindset shifting or wondered why some places stay with you long after you leave, we’re curious whether you’ve noticed these patterns, too.

    We Thought It Was Just a Trip… We Were Wrong

    Ep. 182 What began as a simple test in Italy turned into a shift we didn’t understand until years later. Three years into full-time travel, we can finally see what that moment set in motion. In this video, we revisit the leap we took, the places that reshaped us, and the unexpected clarity Italy gave us about the life we’ve been building all along. Watch us on YouTube! Support the show
