In 2018, we sold everything we owned and moved to Cambodia to teach English.

Let’s make this clear: this journey didn’t start with money. This journey started with a desire to see the world and to do something different for a change.

We’re not going to fool you with photos of floating breakfasts and private jets. We know what it’s like to be on a budget. Although we like to take pretty pictures, we aren’t going to wake up at an ungodly hour to give you unachievable travel jealousy. We aren’t going to censor ourselves or lie to you.

What we are going to do is stay in cheap hostels, find ways to make money, give the advice that we would want to hear, and share our experiences with you honestly.

Are you in?

  • This year, Kalamalka Lake froze over enough for people to skate on, which is unusual for Kal Lake. We also learned that it completely froze over from Coldstream to Oyama in 1964 - that would have been WILD to see. For a few days last week, it froze over right to the edge of the dock. 🤯⁣
