Who Are We?

We're a family who left behind our suburban lifestyle in the USA to explore the world together with only carry-on luggage while homeschooling and running an online business. Read more about us.

Costa Rica

Last week we enjoyed a fun visit from my wife's parents who came down for nine days. This is the third time we've had family visit since we've lived in Costa Rica, and while we really like having visitors, we've gotten kind of tired of showing the same sites over and over again, especially when they're expensive tourist spots. Yes, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, Monteverde Cloud Forest, and the beach a... Read More

Entrepreneurship, Family, Goals

Two years ago, I wrote a blog post entitled How I Spend My Time. I tracked what I was doing every minute of every day for one whole week, to help me visualize how much time I was spending on what really mattered to me. Now that we've made the move abroad, my businesses are more automated than ever, and I'm more used to my 4-hou... Read More

We spent the last week in Salt Lake City, visiting our family and friends who live there. It was great to see so many of our loved ones, and have a chance to talk with them in person. Thanks to everyone for your hospitality! We arrived the day after a big snowstorm, so the kids enjoyed playing in the snow (in their dresses and flip flops), and we made a little snowman and had a short snowball f... Read More

I held onto the hope of having a boy as long as I could, but the doctor said it's time to let it go - this one is definitely going to be a girl. So, in June, we'll be a family of five: four girls, and one boy (me). ... Read More

Well, this is it. We're leaving Grecia, which has been our home now for over a year. We've loved it here, and we'll miss the beautiful scenery, slower pace of life, super-friendly people, and our fantastic view of the central valley. However, we're only moving about an hour away, and since this is still Costa Rica, I'm sure we'll continue to meet friendly, laid-back people, and have good weather a... Read More

Costa Rica, Family

The past few weeks, we've been very busy looking for our next home, and I haven't had much time to write this blog post. I'll talk about the house hunting later, but for now, I'm going to reminisce about the fun times we had together with my mom and my sister's family when they were here for a visit a few weeks ago. Like me, my mom works on-line, so she was able to come down for a 3-week stay, ... Read More

2010 was really a landmark year for my family and me. It's hard to believe how much our lives have changed in these short 12 months, how much we have grown, and how much we have been able to do. After reading a great post by Dragos Roua about 77 things he did in 2010, I decided to follow suit and write about some things I did in 2010.... Read More

If you didn't get a Christmas card from me this year, it's not because I don't love you. It's just because I'm lazy. :) In fact, we've been consciously lazy about Christmas this year, and it's been our least stressful holiday season yet! Well, maybe "minimalist" is a better word choice than "lazy". Regardless, it's been a great holiday season for us. Gifts Jen and I aren't really ... Read More

Guatemala, Travel

We just got back from an 8-day trip to Guatemala as a final visa run before we have some visitors over the next few months. This was our first time in Guatemala, but I hope it won't be our last. We really enjoyed our time there. When researching the trip, one caution I continued to hear was the extremely high crime rate, including murders, muggings, car hijacking, and all sorts of things. So I ... Read More
