We’ve been married for 36 years, and through it all—raising kids, building businesses, and now traveling the world—we’ve learned how to support each other in ways we never imagined. Every adventure, every challenge, has only strengthened our bond, reminding us the best part of this journey is doing it together.Coming home briefly to the U.S. a few times a year is always a reminder of how much we’ve changed. Where once we rushed through errands, appointments, and the usual whirlwind of daily life, we now approach these moments with more intention. We spend more time with family, relishing the conversations and moments that used to get lost in the noise. We’re more thoughtful about what we purchase, what we prioritize, and how we spend our time. We’ve learned that the quality of time matters far more than the quantity, whether we’re at a family gathering or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon at home. Our travels taught us that life is about the moments in between, and now, we bring that mindset home, making every day feel just a little more meaningful.

Here we are, two years later. We’ve traveled to 14 countries, lived on less than $3,000 a month, and found a life that’s less about checking boxes and more about saying “yes” and collecting moments.This isn’t just a story about travel—it’s about permission. The kind you give yourself to start over at any age. To trade comfort for curiosity. To realize it’s never too late—or too expensive—to choose a life that finally feels like yours.We didn’t just downsize our belongings. We downsized the pressure, the pace, and the expectations that once defined us. It wasn’t easy at first, but letting go of those old definitions of success made room for something more meaningful: joy, growth, and a deeper connection to each other and the world around us. What we’ve learned is that the life we were truly waiting for wasn’t found in a place or in things—it was found in the choice to live with intention, to say "yes" to what truly matters, and to embrace the unknown together, with open arms.

that she was detained by the Transportation Security Administration in March after officers flagged something suspicious on her bag of organic sunflower seeds.

“I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy. They literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in,” she told the magazine. "I was like, what is happening? Is this a joke? They said it was most likely a chemical on the packaging of these super expensive, fancy, organic, clean sunflower seeds.""It takes a lot for me to buy something that I see on TikTok, but the second I saw this 2-in-1 dress from Lululemon, I literally went to the store instantly and tried it on," Chantalissa said in her video. "I actually feel like a princess in it. It's so beautiful, so flowy. I'm obsessed."

On the flip side, content creator Dasie expressed her confusion about the dress's popularity, specifically because of the price and simple design."Is this just for the label? Who walks into Lululemon and they're like, 'Oh my gosh, that's the cutest summer dress I've ever seen?'" Dasie said in a
