Creator's Key Takeaways
We thought we were ready. We had sold the house, downsized our life, packed up our suitcases, and told everyone we were going to travel the world full-time.
We made many mistakes. But here's the good news. We didn't quit. We adjusted. We learned.
It took us way too long to figure out that full-time travel lodging is about having a toolbox, not a single tool.
We've realized that you can be perfectly happy sitting at a restaurant, nibbling on cheese, and of course, sipping on a glass of wine, rather than racing through a packed day of just non-stop plans.
