Was Full-Time Travel Worth It? What 18 Months of International Travel Taught Us

If you’re considering full-time or long-term travel, this video is for you. After 18 months of international full-time travel, we’re sharing what actually worked for us, what didn’t, and what surprised us most. This isn’t advice, just our real experience after a year and a half of slow traveling around the world. We talk honestly about when this lifestyle stopped feeling like a vacation and started feeling like real life. We share how our pace changed, what caused burnout and decision fatigue, and how missing family fits into a life we still truly love. We also break down the practical side of long-term travel, including: • Planning long-term international travel • Airbnbs vs hotels and what worked best • Using points and miles • Packing lighter over time • The apps we actually rely on We answer the questions we get asked most about health care abroad, money, retirement, and how we think about the future. We finish with a rapid-fire Q&A covering favorite places, biggest regrets, what we’d do differently if starting today, and whether we’d still choose full-time travel again. Everyone’s version of long-term travel looks different. This is simply what worked and didn’t work for us. If you’re thinking about full-time or international travel, leave your questions in the comments. We’ll answer them there or turn them into a future video.
