We left our careers, friends, and families in 2016 to travel the world and have been living as PROFESSIONAL NOMADS ever since.
We spend roughly half of the year traveling while we continue to learn and grow professionally. Here’s why we felt compelled to make such a major life change: We had just gotten married, were doing interesting work, and were fortunate to be living in one of the most desired places in the world – San Francisco, California. We had spent most of our twenties living a western lifestyle and chasing our version of the American dream, including building successful careers in finance. We treasure those times – the valuable life lessons and skills we learned, the intellectually-stimulating environment we were a part of, and the precious friendships we formed.
Yet, the long hours spent at work left us feeling disconnected at times – disconnected from things that mattered to us.
We craved a healthier and more harmonious life and ultimately decided that QUALITY OF LIFE was most important to us. Post-twenties and pre-kids, we realized the time to take a leap was now. So we decided to ‘re-tune’ ourselves by creating more room for personal growth and focusing on our emotional and physical wellbeing. This meant seeking out nature, culture, and art more vigorously, eating, exercising, and reading more purposefully, and approaching each day with meaningful intent – all while traveling the world.
Travel is more than a hobby to us. It is a fundamental part of our personal philosophy of life.
Opening ourselves up to the world, its people, its cultures, and its natural wonders have been the most mind-altering undertaking of our lives. Travel has made us more compassionate and patient, less judgmental and self-centered, and increasingly mindful of our environment and fellow creatures. Travel has allowed us to experience simple, everyday things as if for the first time and enjoy life the way children do. We have traveled to over fifty countries with little out-of-pocket costs by using miles and points and still enjoy a six-figure lifestyle despite WORKING LESS.
Today, we prioritize our relationship with each other, our health and wellbeing, and our freedom to live the way we want above all else.
In 2021, we welcomed our daughter Mona into the world while living abroad in Europe. Monas has already traveled to seven countries and, as professional digital nomads, we have been able to prioritize our time together as a family. We are currently based in Miami, FL but dream about having a home on three continents – Asia, Europe, and North America. One of our greatest joys is now helping other working professionals break from the norm to build a MORE FULFILLING LIFE.
This website chronicles our journey and is dedicated to empowering anyone who desires to become a professional nomad and TRAVEL EFFORTLESSLY without sacrificing their career or savings.
