Barajamos, y dimos de nuevo… WE MADE A DECISION!!🙊 . After pausing, reflecting on our values, on our long term goals, dreams, etc... we realized our FREEDOM is so important and that if we make a decision it should be aligned to that. So, we have decided that... . (( Little hint: No, we are not getting married YET 👰🏽🤵🏽. This pic was just a trick 🙈)) . We are going to cross to Mexico with @amyhiroki (and this time it’s FOR REAL 🙈unless the universe puts another opportunity in front of us like the Grenada house sitting 5 months ago) . We are planning to cross from Texas and start traveling all the way down to Tulum 🚌. You guys know how much we love to travel like a local, so PLEASE leave in the comments any suggestions/places/food we must experience in Mexico 🇲🇽👇🏽 . Mexicooo agárrate que aquí vamos!! 🥳 Are you guys ready to MAP THE UNKNOWN with us in Mexico?? Leave those hands up 🤚🏽 . . . #creativetravelcouples #parejaviajera #overlandingusa #nomadlife #nomadlifestyle #asiantraveller #latinatraveller #multiculturalcouple #couplesgoals #viajerargentina #filipinotraveler #rvlife #couplesgoals #mindfuldecisions #lovemylife

Good & Sad news!! Una de cal y una de arena... . 😰During those 2.5 hours where Fran was being interrogated many thoughts crossed our minds, and one of them was the possibility of not being able to get reunited with @amyhiroki to continue our adventures with her. Thanks to everyone who took the time to message and send some positive vibes. It really helped a lot during these stressful moments. We love you!! 💛 . 👍🏽 The good news is... US migration let Fran in and we’ll be able to get reunited with @amyhiroki . 👎🏽The sad news... they only gave her two weeks (although Fran showed all the proof and papers needed and gave all the explanations and everything is as it should. I guess they’re not used to nomads or solo female traveler or independent women🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽) So we need to make new decisions... . A) Do we stay and find a way for Fran to stay legally in USA so we can fulfill use our dream of exploring the 50 states of USA? B) Leave US, postpone the 50 states, and pursue other dreams of ours? (There’s still so many countries in the world and many other dreams to fulfill) . Our brains have been thinking nonstop but we believe everything happens for a reason and something good will come out 💫💛 . If you were in our position... what would you do? A or B?

After living for 4 months in Grenada, it’s time to leave for a new adventure! 🤩 . These 4 months were more than what we expected. We were able to: 📱Open more than 60 spots for Early Access Users for @NomadJournalApp. 🙏🏽Try fasting and read more than 4 books. 💛 Take care of our health and have an annual check-up. 😁 Meet new like-minded people. 🥳 Enjoy a 1-week celebration for our birthdays right in front of the ocean the way we wanted. 🏐 Had a new hobby which is playing volleyball every Wednesday (until sadly COVID Rules changed) 💵 Get paid for exploring the island and make you travel with us!! 🏍 Explore the whole island by motorbike - OMG! Traveling makes us feel so alive!! 🤝Have 3 collaborations: @ijuander_newstv @dogsofinstagram @amexessentials - make sure to check them out! 🙀🙊 Get the approval to publish… ?? (This is SO EXCITING!! We will reveal this some time soon) . It was a lot of work and a lot of fun! Not all was a bed of roses and we had definitely had difficult moments, but we made it trough and we came out stronger, together!! 💪🏽 . 🇬🇩 Many of you told us that you discovered Grenada because of us. So, when you think about Grenada, what comes to your mind?🇬🇩 . . .

How are you able to manage your expenses while traveling full-time? 💵 . We get this question a lot - so here are some insights to help you make it happen if that’s what you want 😎 . Our biggest travel expenses are accommodation, next is transportation (e.g. airfare, car rentals, gas, bus), then food. If you keep these three to a minimum, you'll realize that travel expense is very manageable and traveling full time is very possible. Here’s how we do it: . ✈️ We mainly use public transportation and for flights, we use miles. We haven’t paid for international flight since 2018. (It’s called “travel hacking” - we have a blog about it in our website, link in bio @maptheunknown) 🛍We buy from local markets and mostly cook our own. 🏡 We do a mix between #vanlife (@amyhiroki is waiting for us to take her on an adventure again) and house sitting which allow us to save up a lot on accommodation. It’s the best way for us to travel and still have the balance of having the comfort of a home, being able to work on our online projects, and live like a local plus we get to have amazing company from pets 🐶 We use @trustedhousesitters to look for house sitting opportunities around the world (You can get a 25% OFF for the membership in the link in our bio @maptheunknown) . 🤔 What else would you like to know about our expenses or how we travel? Let us know and we'll be glad to share to help you also live the traveling lifestyle 💛 . 📍Welcome Rock, Grenada. . . . #nomadadigital #nomadasdigitales #nomadadigitallifestyle #travellifestyle #mybestlife #naturelovers #coupletravel #couplewhotravel #traveltogether #coupletime #couplelife #trending #travelcouple #travelcouplesinspiration

The purpose? VIVIR CADA DÍA AL MÁXIMO 🦋TO LIVE EACH DAY TO THE FULLEST 💫 . Our time in Grenada is coming to an end soon and we found ourselves wanting to soak every minute of this little paradise and at the same time meet the deadline of the projects we came here for plus all the preparation for the upcoming trip. Too much going on in our head that we got a bit lost somewhere along the way 🤪🤯 . And today, while chatting to @starrystarryvibes we got reminded that the ultimate purpose is to LIVE. Today is a gift, and it’s our purpose to live it, to make every second count, and enjoy it the way we wanted. . If today was your last day, would you be doing what you’re doing? . Leave a 🙌🏽 in the comments if you also needed to hear this reminder. . . . #coupletraveltheworld #livetravelexplore #puregrenada #discovergrenada #travelcouplelife #nomadasaurus #nomadlife #couplewhotravel #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlifestyle #livewithpurpose #mydreamlife #inspiredtravelcouples #cutecouple #GrenadaRocks #puregrenada #Grenada #GrenadaDreaming #CaribbeanDreaming #DiscoverGrenada #followgrenada #creativeliving #strongwomen

~La historia de tu vida debería ser increíble~ . Your life story is supposed to be unbelievable 💫 and... I believe ours it is since the moment I met you. It’s my favorite movie of all time. . 📍It was very early in the morning when amazed by how clear the water was, we found ourselves experiencing a wonderful feeling of joy seeing ourselves reflected on the water together with the palm trees. That’s when you realize one more time that... . 🌼 Life happens in these little moments when you get surprised by ordinary things that end up making extraordinary memories 🌼 . May your weekend be one full of appreciation for everything around you! ✨ . . . #gratitude #traveltogether #coupletime #couplelife #trending #travelcouple #travelcouplesinspiration #travelcouplelife #parejaviajera #livingmybestlife #growthmindset #reelstravel #nomadadigital #digitalnomad

Happy International Dogs Day to these 2 🐶🐶... one of the reasons why we can save up lots of money in accommodation around the world 🥳🥳🥳 . We’ve house sitting around the world taking care of the most wonderful pets for the past 3 years (or more, sometimes it’s so hard to keep track 🤣). In total, we already took care of 22 pets in 10 different parts of the world and it just keeps on getting better. Because of them, we were able to fulfill our dream of traveling the world and still have the balance of having the comfort of a home, being able to work on our online projects, and live like a local 🌎 If you want to know more about houses sitting just DM us and we’ll be very glad to help. . To all of our lovely dogs around the world, thank youuuu and have a wonderful dog’s day full of treats!! 🐶 .

Collecting memories, learning new skills, and always having fun with you 💛 . Since we embarked ourselves into this #nomadiclifestyle we learned many new sports and did a bunch of things we never thought we would. There were many moments where we felt like kids again… outside, playing or doing some type of activity. It’s a great feeling! Living this traveling lifestyle the past 4 years is definitely been our most active life as an adult. 🏄🏽‍♀️ We surfed in the Philippines and Indonesia. 🪁 We kitesurfed (or tried our best 🤣) in Dominican Republic. 🤿 We scuba dive in The Philippines, Hawaii, and Grenada. 🏐 And, the past month we’ve been playing volleyball every week here in Grenada. Grenada has very calm waters so not a lot of water-sport options that’s why we’re very happy to have found a very fun volleyball group. . What do you like to do when traveling? You prefer more like chilling, sunbathing? Or being active and having adventures? . 📸 Surfing in Uluwatu, Bali 🌴 Feb 2020.
