YouTube Video Description

How do you know when it’s time to stop waiting for someday and start living the life you keep imagining? For us, the answer came when we realized that “someday” has a way of quietly moving further and further into the future. In this video we share the emotional moment when we realized the timing of life, opportunity, and mindset had aligned — and it was time to start Traveling Bigger. For years we talked about traveling more someday. Life was good, but the bigger experiences we wanted always seemed to live somewhere in the future. When several things aligned — our stage of life, a real estate opportunity, and the ideas in the book Die With Zero — we realized something important: the perfect time might never arrive, but the right time might be right now. This video is about that realization. Not someday. Now. Travel Bigger doesn’t mean selling everything or traveling full-time like we do. For many people it simply means choosing experiences sooner, staying longer in places you love, slow traveling instead of rushing, or designing your life around the things that matter most. On Taste Life With Us, Travel Bigger is less about strategy and more about mindset — exploring how travel can expand into something deeper than traditional vacations and become part of everyday life. ⸻ 📚 Book Mentioned Die With Zero: Getting All You Can From Your Money and Your Life, by Bill Perkins Link → https://amzn.to/3OIGZ7t ⸻ Financial Planning We are not giving financial advice in this video. Everyone’s financial situation is different, and it’s important to discuss your own circumstances with a qualified financial professional. Some viewers have asked who we spoke with while thinking through our own plans. If you are curious, this is the advisor we mentioned: Financial Advisor → Aleksandr Chkadua, CFP/CDFA, Vice President, Advisor, Partner at EP Wealth (a nationwide award-winning firm): achkadua@epwealth.com | (424) 258-3525 ⸻ ▶️ Continue the Travel Bigger Series Many of the Travel Bigger strategy videos live on our other channel: Cruise Through Retirement https://www.youtube.com/@CruiseThroughRetirement That channel focuses on cruise strategy, itineraries, and how cruises can become connectors for bigger travel experiences. ⸻ We split our content between Cruise Through Retirement (ships, itineraries, and cruise experience) and Taste Life With Us (ports, food, and daily life), so watching both gives you the full picture of what our full-time life looks like on land and at sea.
