Our Backstory Story: How We Traded Our Oregon Home for the World

(2 May 2023) We have business cards now. Oooooh, FANcy, LOL. They’re very cool and include some blank space on the back for notes which is a thing I would have hoped for but probably not thought of. 

I’m super excited to get going; have I mentioned that yet? We’re 3 weeks from officially downsizing – moving out of our 3 bedroom house on 5 acres and into a tiny little studio in Redmond. From there we’ve got about 6 months to complete the downsizing into a fully nomadic lifestyle. 6 months from getting on a plane and leaving our old life behind. Like, a couple weeks away from actually buying tickets. 

I also got more serious about mapping out the travel schedule to get a better grip on the search for accommodations. Aside from the first stop in Panama City, everything is a placeholder. We won’t be traveling on the 1st of every month and we won’t be staying a calendar month in each location but it will be closer to that than not:
