Creator's Key Takeaways
nobody gave us these points. Contrary to popular belief, Cara and Nate did not hand us a million points.
every single thing you're about to see was 100% self-funded by myself and Aaron.
this is obviously an extreme example, but taking bits and pieces of this as inspiration for your own adventures is very much doable.
the fact that Aaron and I get to call traveling our job still doesn't feel real even after all of these years.
