For us, this kind of a life makes sense. In fact, I think we have both been unconsciously rearranging our realities so that we would be set up to dive INTO a freedom based lifestyle. But we never pulled the trigger until NOW. In January of this year we spent the month in one of …
The Windsor Court Hotel – Most Romantic Hotel in New Orleans Suites. Have we told you lately how much we love them? And how we search every corner of the internet to find the best ones in every city we travel to? Well of course we would uncover our own ‘English Manor’ charmed suite in …
The ‘Junior Suite’ rooms at the Sheraton in Puerto Vallarta are UNREAL! I think they might be PV’s best kept secret, because most people don’t even know they exist! plus: they’ve just been reno’ed and look great with their new makeover.
This hotel won our hearts last year with the EPIC Governor Suite. I mean… have you seen this wrap around balcony with private hot-tub? The Grand Fiesta is not your average All Inclusive!
There are nights I find myself staring at my computer screen with 27 tabs open, comparing hotel prices to get the best deal possible. Ever find yourself doing the same thing? Sometimes I find that leads me in the total opposite direction of what I am really trying to find, and that is VALUE. Even …
As I sit writing this in my Guayaquil hotel room, I realize there are many parts of Puerto Cayo Ecuador that we’ll miss dearly. On the other hand, I can’t help but feel a wave of relief that our adventure there was cut short. When Trevor and I made the decision to spend 6 months …

When you see a Boutique BnB with almost PERFECT ratings across the board, you give it a try! We kept stumbling across Rivera Del Rio on our hotel searches in the Puerto Vallarta area so we took it as a sign that we should book. I am a huge fan of architecture, anything vintage or …
High up in the mountains and unspoilt by tourism, Cuenca is the little ‘European’ getaway you’ve been craving in Latin America
This weekends adventures have resulted in what we have predicted; the huge uncertainty of the area around us has vanished. Friday, we hired a guide Jo (a Canadian ex-pat now living in the area) to take us to nearby Puerto Lopez. Having a guide to show you this stuff right off the bat is …
We have been in Ecuador ONE week today. I know in my next few blogs I will likely back track and cover what we LOVE about our house, our location, our journey here and more… but first I wanted to talk about something in a very honest sense. We are both going through a …
Making the HUGE move from rural Ecuador into Mexico a few weeks ago sure has us dazzled by the abundance that surrounds us. I mean a plethora of options available in every sense!
