Autobiography
We are originally from the Toronto area in Canada. We met while working and living in downtown Toronto. During one Valentine’s Day dinner, we did some math on a napkin and hatched the idea to move to Whitehorse, Yukon, for an adventure and a change. Little did we know, we were already expecting our first child! We went anyway, and built an amazing life there – fulfilling careers, great friends, and actual work-life balance (or as close as you can get).
Despite the great life we had created, we were starting to feel the wanderlust itch. After a life-changing month in Thailand in June 2017, we decided the time was NOW to get away from our busy 9-5 life and spend more time with our daughters while they still want to spend time with us!
We also wanted to explore the world while our girls were still relatively “portable” – school isn’t a big concern for us when you have the whole world as your classroom, and kids make friends so easily when they’re young. We have location independent incomes, and slow travel as we raise our two girls to be global citizens.
