PHILLY AND THE BRAIN - SLOW TRAVEL

Whenever you take time for yourself whether it’s a week, two weeks, a month on vacation, a break between jobs, or even retirement at any age something shifts. Suddenly you have all these ideas, new things you want to try, goals you want to accomplish. It feels like you’re reinventing yourself… like a rebirth.

It doesn’t happen instantly for everyone. In the past, I’ve taken months away from jobs and projects to reinvest in myself learning something new or simply reorganizing my closet and life. But this time feels different.

Maybe it’s because I’m in unfamiliar territory not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Or maybe it’s because I’m reaching a new level as I turn 40 next month. I’m not completely sure what it is, but I do know I’m excited for this next chapter.

For those of you 40 and above what advice do you have for the brain? What should I expect in my 40s? I’m still learning to slow down, but I’m much better at it than I used to be. I love learning, and I’d really value your insight.

We often get asked whether we’re out here slow traveling on our own or if we’re part of a community and the answer is yes, we’re part of an amazing one. 🌍✨

We joined the Grounded Life Retirement Community because we wanted to connect with like-minded people who were already on this path. Inside the community, you’ll find people who are:
• already retired and slow traveling
• living abroad long-term
• or still in preparation mode, getting ready for their journey

The best part? You’re never alone.
If you have a question big or small someone has already been there. Whether it’s:
• “Which Airbnb do you recommend?”
• “Where do you get laundry done?”
• “What’s the best area to stay in?”

…there’s always someone ready to share their experience. And the world feels so much smaller when you end up meeting these people in person, collaborating, or even exploring together.

We do plan to offer our own services in the future (yes, including consultations since so many have asked!). But in the meantime, if you’re looking for support, connection, and people who truly understand this lifestyle, the community link is below.

We mention this at the end of our videos, but we know not everyone watches to the end so here it is. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us anytime. 💛✨

Lately we’ve noticed something interesting…

Our latest video related to income streams is getting fewer views than usual. And it made us pause not in a negative way, but in a curious way.

Whenever we talk about money, freedom, or building income, the reaction is always different compared to travel or lifestyle videos.

It got us thinking…

💭 Why do finance videos get less love?

Is it because:
• Talking about money can feel uncomfortable?
• It’s a reminder of where we are financially right now?
• Some people worry the information is “too good to be true”?
• Or maybe you’ve heard it all before and it feels repetitive?

We totally get it.
Money isn’t always fun to look at. But what we’ve learned on our slow travel journey is this:

✨ Financial clarity = freedom.

The kind of freedom to live anywhere.
To slow down.
To breathe.
To choose your own pace.

That’s why we share this content not to preach, but to educate and open doors, the same way doors opened for us.

❤️ We actually want to hear from you.

What stops you from clicking on finance videos?
What topics feel overwhelming or confusing?
Or what do you want us to break down next in a simple, honest way?

Your feedback helps shape the content we create.
Our goal is to build a platform that mixes real-life slow travel with real-life strategies that support it.

Let’s talk about it. Drop your thoughts below. 👇
