Finding a GPS to help you navigate towards your ultimate journey

This is a pretty dense lifestyle article, which is a follow up on our origin story. If you aren’t into lifestyle design, feel free to skip and check out one of our destination report instead!

One of the benefit of slow travel for me can be quantified by the number books I’ve been able to read since we embarked on our nomadic journey. I recently discovered Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, a thought-provoking odyssey through human history. While I won’t go too much into the book in this post, the author go in length to explains how humans see the world is mostly defined by the stories we create for ourselves. This reminded me about the Hero’s Journey that Vicki Robin (author of New York Times Bestseller Your Money or Your Life) introduced to us when we met her at the Chautauqua Retreat in Ecuador (back in 2017). It is a wonderful self transformation template that can be used by anyone looking to design their best life so I felt like it was worth sharing. Are you ready to follow your bliss?

Our origin story: how we decided to become nomads

If you’ve been following us for a while, you know that we are aspiring minimalists that have decided to sell most of our possessions in 2018 to make the world our home and nomadic travel our new lifestyle.

In this article, let’s slow down (pun intended) and take a step back to talk more about our origin story. Where do we come from individually, what brought us together, what led us to decide to leave most of our possessions behind us to become perpetual nomads and where do we see this new lifestyle leading us.
