As we’ve started our travels, we’ve noticed people saying things like “Wow! How are you doing this? Did you win the lottery?” or “You must be rich to be able to travel as much as you do!” And sadly, neither one is true. We did not win the lottery and we certainly aren’t rich. In…

Things are getting real – really fast
To say we haven’t been doing much in the past couple months since writing would be the biggest lie ever. It’s pretty crazy how much things can change within a two month span. I’m not sure even where to begin. I suppose I’ll start with the fun stuff then get on the updates! The end…
Life Update!

To say the last couple months have been crazy would be an understatement. Kile and I had plans almost every weekend this summer (still do – this upcoming…
Chuggin’ Along
Having made up our minds about a month ago to make some serious changes in our lives, it’s fun to watch the little things add up. On our journey to living a debt-free life and traveling/living abroad, here is what we’ve done so far: Reduced our monthly spending by $400 – this means: more eating at…
Our Wheels are Turning
Over the past week or two, Kile and I have been racking our brains on how we can speed up our process of saving enough money to pay off some debts and increase our savings accounts so we can get the heck outta here for a while. This past week has been pretty rough for this…
