Creator's Key Takeaways

we're really glad we did it. Some people may have called us a little bit crazy for doing it and clearly it has not been a totally smooth road, but we've really enjoyed it.

we're really happy that we have made the decision to do this. It's not for everybody and we're clearly not trying to influence you.

we're here in the Dutch Caribbean, and we are actually looking over at the ship right now from this bar right along the water.

this has become kind of our second home for sure and we haven't done all the things we want to do.

It would give us a referral reward, but there is no pressure for you to mention us. The VVR link identifies our channel but is non-affiliate. Please keep in mind that this represents our life experiences only and no one should engaged in real estate investments without appropriate financial consideration and guidance. ABOUT US: We are a couple (a psychologist and business executive) who retired early in order to travel and enjoy life. We spend half our time in Washington DC and the other half in extended slow travel all over the world. Lately our slow travel has been aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey in which we invested substantially in the cabin we own and a small amount in the company. Our philosophy is to "travel wide" but also to "travel deep" which means really getting to learn the stories unique to the destinations that we visit.
