“I can’t thank you and Amelia enough for leading the way! I really value your perspectives, attention to detail and positive outlook. There are a LOT of expats on social channels, but it was nice finding a couple near our same age who have a similar outlook to us that have navigated this successfully and are living their best lives. You give me courage!” ~Stephanie
“I live a stunning life now, here in Vilcabamba. I’m certain that I would have wound up in a care facility for the elderly, slowly dying the death of my soul. Your work helped me navigate the system to avoid that awful fate. I’m forever grateful to you for that. I will never leave. I’m uniquely positioned to live out the rest of my life surrounded in joy, strength, beauty and love. Thanks so much for helping me all along the way.” ~Stacey
Amelia and I were living the dream. We owned a nice house in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. We drove nice cars. We had a nice, conventional life. But then everything suddenly changed.
One afternoon, while walking Daisy (our Border Collie Mix) around the neighborhood, I found it increasingly difficult to lift my feet. My legs felt heavier and heavier with each step.
After a battery of tests, we discovered that my spine was literally falling apart and I was less than one millimeter away from death or permanent paralysis from the neck down!
That led to two surgeries that cost almost $1 million, a year of recovery, and learning how to walk again…TWICE!
Thankfully, insurance covered most of the expenses, but it still strapped us financially.
The whole experience made us take stock of our lives. We asked ourselves if any of it really mattered. The house? The cars? The dream?
We were given the gift of more life just when we thought it was about to end, and we didn’t want to waste it!
That’s when we started laying the groundwork to escape the hamster wheel and fulfill our dream of living abroad, but it wasn’t easy.
We had a mountain of debt from Amelia’s student loan, my health-related expenses, and the credit cards we used to make ends meet.
At the time, we didn’t know how we were going to make our dream possible, but we did it, and so can you!
We left the U.S. years ago, and our only regret is not doing it sooner.
We probably would have move abroad a long time ago, but we were afraid, we didn’t know where to start, and we didn’t know who to ask for help.
And that’s why we launched our YouTube Channel, this website, and all the other information and services we provide about moving abroad and slow travel.
We felt our way around in the dark.. by ourselves.. and learned every lesson the hard way, but you don’t have to do that because we’re here to help you do what we’ve already done!
Regardless of where you are or where you’re going, we can help you get there!
