I don’t normally like writing about myself so directly but as I am officially in my thirties now, I thought it might be okay. I mean, I have seniority no?
Here’s a few post birthday thoughts I wanted to share with our adoring fans 😉
Great, challenging, thrilling, frustrating, inspiring…..holy crap.
It’s been 3 decades since I was born and there’s quite a few words or phrases that have described my journey to this point. The evolutions you go through as an individual don’t seem as apparent until you reach a point of the climb where you can really get your footing and look down at where you’ve come from. Turning 30 sorta felt that way for me. When I look back I find it hard not be amazed at the way seemingly crappy events in our lives make way for some of the most magnificent and how great some events really were even if we didn’t know it at the time. Maybe that’s just life’s way of keeping us alert. Maybe it’s also why I find it hard to see anything to be unhappy about these days. Cheesy yes, but It really is the ride that we need to appreciate and just like any other, it sucks sometimes but even the ugly parts are beautiful somehow if we take a closer look.
A super big thanks to all who helped celebrate my birthday with me here in Korea and around the world with your online wishes. It was great!

Stay in the loop
Intentionally and incrementally. Most families who live this way did not leap from conventional to adventurous overnight. They built remote work capacity, paid down debt, tested longer trips, and had honest conversations about what they want from their lives.
Different for every family. For some it is long-term travel. For others it is weekend adventures close to home. What connects them is intentionality about how time is spent and a preference for experiences over accumulation.
By finding stability within the adventure rather than treating them as opposites. Routines, rituals, and family rhythms travel with you. Kids need consistency in relationships more than consistency in geography.
That people are fundamentally similar across cultures. That comfort zone is a smaller circle than it feels from inside. That the things worth having in life require effort and discomfort. And that time together doing hard interesting things is the most reliable source of family closeness.
By getting clear on why you made the choices you made and returning to that clarity when outside noise gets loud. Most families living unconventionally describe an initial period of explaining themselves that gradually gives way to just living the life.
