Why We Changed Our 2026 Travel Plans

Ep.189 When we started planning 2026, everything worked on paper. But the more we looked at it, the more we realized we were about to travel in a way that didn’t feel like us anymore. In this video, we share WHY we changed our 2026 travel plans, where we slowed down, where we went big, and what we deliberately chose not to do. This isn’t a list of destinations; it’s how we think about time, movement, and meaning as full-time travelers. If you’re planning a long trip or trying to travel with more intention, we hope this gives you a new way to think about shaping your own year.
