The Hunt For Our Next Lodging
Travel Log: Day 10 (7/7), Costa Rica This morning we made a trip to the grocery store and came back with a pretty decent haul for $60. We spent the rest of the day searching for our next location, aside from a nap, duolingo, and an improvised rock throwing game. The urgency to book our…

I’ll Show You Mine (Budget)
With tariffs bringing chaos to the market, this is an entertaining time to take a look at our budget for the upcoming premature FI experiment where we will travel internationally for a full year.
