Jun 29, 2016 12 Comments Hello, from Victoria, BC, Canada! We are here until December, and are currently living in a beautiful rental home near the water. There are many things we’re enjoying about our new home, including the walkability, the neighborhood, the community, and the fabulous property. Let me show you around! In this video, I start at a nearby beach, but then take you on a tour, showing this lovely...

Apr 20, 2016 17 Comments In my latest video, I wanted to give you a glimpse into our lifestyle while we travel.

Hopefully this video will open your eyes to the reality of what’s possible and...

Education / Entrepreneurship / Family / Household / Personal / Productivity Oct 22, 2013 17 Comments When we came back to Bali a few weeks ago, we really hit the ground running. We’ve been very busy, but also creative and productive, and have been enjoying our time immensely. Within one week, we found a house we wanted to live in. It’s a small 3-bedroom house near Ubud, but it’s completely unfurnished and needs some renovation. We signed a lease for 13...

Household Nov 08, 2009 10 Comments I wanted to post an update about our progress toward a “Location Independent” lifestyle. We finished selling our house (well, we close next week), and we got rid of almost all our possessions. I can’t say we got rid of everything, because we did keep enough to fill a 10×10 storage unit, although most of it is taken up by a leather couch and chair....

Household Oct 21, 2009 6 Comments Well, we sold our house, and are now in the process of selling almost everything we own. We made a huge list in Google Docs of all our stuff with prices, and posted it on Craigslist, KSL, Facebook, and other sites, and have had a pretty decent response. It feels wonderful to be freeing ourselves from our possessions. In the process, we’re appreciating how much...

Household May 30, 2009 12 Comments Jen and I have been driving old ’94 and ’95 Toyota Corollas, ever since we’ve been married. These have been great little cars, but they’re both getting to the point now where they need some kind of maintenance every few months (belts or spark plugs replaced, new alternator, etc.). They’re also rather noisy and when the air conditioning is on, we almost have to shout...

Household Apr 06, 2009 4 Comments The past two days, we have been watching the annual April LDS General Conference. I always enjoy watching Conference, and as usual, gained a clearer perspective about life, what is most important, and where my focuses should be to bring the greatest happiness. Here are my todo’s from Conference. Many of these weren’t mentioned at all by the speakers, but they’re what I feel I...

Mar 20, 2009 7 Comments Okay, some of you know that even before we left on our trip, we found puddles of water in our basement every week or two. We couldn’t find any correlation with the weather, we were told there was no break in the city water line, and every expert we brought in had a different opinion. Some thought it was ground water, and suggested sump pumps....
