Hi! We’re Mitch and Jan — your mature, mid-life travel friends who love exploring the world (ideally with a glass of wine in hand). You won’t see us cliff-jumping or doing extreme adventures, but we’re also not spending every day in art galleries and museums. We’re all about the fun, meaningful sweet spot in between. We share overseas slow-travel guides, real cost breakdowns, honest reviews, and simple how-to videos to help you explore the world comfortably and confidently. If you love no-hype, real-world travel, subscribe and come wander with us. CHEERS! 🥂

🌴🇨🇷 NEW VIDEO IS LIVE!
Everyone says Costa Rica is expensive… but after living here for one full month, we were honestly surprised. 🤔
In our newest video, we break down exactly what one month in Costa Rica really cost us — groceries, eating out, drinks, transportation — and we also give you a full Airbnb tour so you can see what you actually get for your money.
💸 Is Costa Rica too expensive?
🌴 Or can it be budget-friendly if you do it right?
👉 Watch the full breakdown here: [LINK]
We’re curious — does Costa Rica seem affordable to you, or does it still feel pricey compared to other places you’ve been (or researched)? Let us know in the comments!

NEW VIDEO 🎥
People always tell us we’re living the dream — and in many ways, we are. But what you don’t always see are the trade-offs, the challenges, and the little realities behind full-time RV life and living abroad.
This week, we’re pulling back the curtain and sharing the truth about both lifestyles — the highs, the lows, and what it’s really like day to day.
✨ It’s not always a dream… but it’s still an incredible way to live.
