First 48 Hours in Hong Kong - What a CRAZY start!

We started our full time travel journey 🌏 with a bang, exploring one of Southeast Asia's most remarkable cities, Hong Kong!

We're Ashley and Nigel, a husband and wife from Seattle, Washington (with deep Louisiana roots) who made the biggest decision of our lives: we quit our jobs, sold our home, and set out to travel the world full-time. This channel is where we document that journey. You'll find travel guides, destination reviews, food adventures, cultural experiences, hidden gems, day trips, honest travel tips, and real conversations about what it's like to leave behind a traditional career path and build a life centered around experiences instead of possessions. We believe travel is about much more than checking places off a bucket list. It's about meeting people, understanding different cultures, trying unfamiliar foods, getting lost occasionally, embracing the unexpected, and discovering parts of the world that most travelers overlook. From the street food stalls of Vietnam and the vibrant cities of Thailand to the cultural wonders of China, the historic neighborhoods of Hong Kong, and everywhere else this journey takes us, we're committed to sharing authentic experiences, practical travel advice, and honest opinions to help you plan your own adventures. Whether you're looking for travel inspiration, destination guides, food recommendations, budget travel tips, cultural experiences, or simply want to follow along as a couple navigating life on the road, we're glad you're here. Our hope is that these videos help make travel feel more approachable and show that major life changes, while sometimes scary, are absolutely possible. After more than 20 years together, we decided it was finally time to step off the hamster wheel and see what the world had to offer. Now we're bringing you along for the ride.
