We are Emily (she/her) and Alex (he/his), married American expats living abroad. One day we realized we didn’t crave the same things in life that everyone around us seemed to want. We were unhappy trudging toward some perceived security and decided to do something to change it. So, in 2021, we sold our house, cars, and almost everything we owned and became location independent. We are now full-time international slow travelers negotiating how to live the dream and a regular life at the same time. We explore the ins and outs of our nomadic lifestyle at the intersection of thoughtful discussion and absurd humor. 

If you are interested in travel or even the prospect of becoming nomadic too, we invite you to join us on This is Going Somewhere.

Sometimes we will talk about practical things like costs and budgets, how we hope to make an income, how we pick accommodations, and how much research is involved. Sometimes we will talk about what day-to-day life is like in each location or what it’s really like to live out of a suitcase. 

We also hope to share our ideas on achieving something that may seem impossible.

For us, Travel isn’t just about the seeing the big attractions and checking things off the bucket list. We find more joy in everyday life because we don’t put those kind of pressures on ourselves. 

We believe travel should be less qualified by other people’s opinions and more about having your own unique experiences. 

Please join the conversation and feel free to ask questions as we share all of the unexpected things we have learned

Stick with us, This is Going Somewhere
