I closed my eyes, resting my face on the cold bathroom tiles. The tremors in my stomach had temporarily subsided, but the room was still spinning. Oh God, why oh why did I order that stupid seafood tower? After what felt like hours, I knelt on the bathroom floor shivering and covered in cold sweat.

Before we came to Madrid, we were both […]

Why did we go to Malta? Well, ever since we got a visa to stay in Europe for a full year I’ve been obsessively trying to check off every country in the EU Schengen zone (as of the time of writing, we have just 5 countries left—Slovenia, Sweden, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg). Do I get an award for checking them off? Nope. Does that make me crazy? Probably. Anyway, for most people, Instagram pictures of an azure paradise is why they go to Malta. Pictures like this: And this: And this: In fact, on Instagram the #malta has 5.4 million […]

“I am with the production team at 60 Second Docs. We recently learned about your story of how you two were able to save and invest your money to the point where you could retire very early. We were absolutely amazed and know our audience would love to learn more about you, so we’d like to make you the subject of our next short documentary…if you are interested, let me know.” When this e-mail dropped into our inbox, our first thought was “Wait. We’re nomadic. How exactly are they going to film us?” Turns out, being nomadic turned out to […]

“No f*cking way am I doing that,” I thought, watching a Finnish granny leap into the frigid Baltic sea, her shrieks piercing the air. “Well, she’s dead.” I concluded as I watched her grey locks slip beneath the surface. But then she bobbed up from the water, smiling and splashing around like a giddy seal, puffs of her breath steaming up the air.
