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! 🥂

🇨🇦 Did you know this is in Quebec?!

Before this trip, we had no idea the Gaspé Peninsula looked like this. Towering sea cliffs, dramatic coastal drives, incredible seafood, hidden breweries, mountain hikes... it honestly turned out to be one of our favourite road trips in Canada.

If you've ever been to Gaspésie, what's your favourite stop?

And if you haven't... did this make it onto your travel bucket list?

🎥 If you'd like to see the full road trip and itinerary, we've just released our newest video!

🎉 Happy Birthday to my favourite travel partner, my best friend, and the love of my life. ❤️

Today we’re celebrating Jan! 🥂

There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not grateful we chose this life together. Retiring early, exploring the world, and creating memories in places we once only dreamed about wouldn’t be nearly as special without her by my side.

If you’ve watched our videos, you already know what an incredibly kind, caring, patient, and thoughtful person she is. What you don’t always see is just how much work she puts into everything we do behind the scenes. She’s the calm when things don’t go as planned, the biggest supporter of every crazy idea, and the person who reminds me to slow down and enjoy the moment.

I truly couldn’t imagine doing life—or this adventure—without her.

Please help me wish Jan a very Happy Birthday in the comments! I know it would absolutely make her day. ❤️🎂🎈

Happy Birthday, Jan. Here’s to another year of amazing adventures together. I love you. ❤️

We finally shared our full 🇻🇳 Phu Quoc video… and honestly, this island surprised us.

Beautiful beaches, huge developments, empty luxury towns, amazing local food, and some areas that felt nothing like the Vietnam we expected.

Phu Quoc is changing FAST… and after exploring around the island, we definitely came away with strong opinions on the best areas to stay and which parts felt the most authentic.

If you’ve been to Phu Quoc — or are thinking about going — we’d love to know:

👉 Would YOU stay on the west side, east side, or Sunset Town?

We’re officially in Bali 🇮🇩

But before we landed… there were 3 things we had to figure out — and honestly, it’s not as straightforward as it seems.

So we filmed the whole process in real time to make it easy 👇

Would you do this ahead of time… or just deal with it at the airport?

We tried TWO different sleeper buses in Vietnam… to see if they’re actually worth it.

They’re one of the most popular ways to get around the country — but we’ve always wondered:
👉 Are they comfortable enough?
👉 Or are they more of a budget, backpacker-style experience?

If you’re planning a Vietnam trip and deciding between buses, trains, or flights — this might help you decide what’s actually worth it.

Curious… would you try this? 🤔

Is Phuket actually ruined… or is that just what people say online? 🤔

We’ve been hearing this everywhere — overcrowded, expensive, not worth it anymore…

But after spending time here, we were honestly surprised.

New video is live — would you still visit Phuket in 2026? 🇹🇭👇

Most people think this is an easy choice… 👀

$50 hotel vs $100 “affordable luxury” in Vietnam 🇻🇳

But after actually staying in both, it wasn’t nearly as obvious as we expected…

One of these REALLY surprised us (and not in the way we thought)

👉 New video is live — would you save or splurge?
