Hi, Jill and Randy here. Two years ago we sold our home and all our belongings in Canada. We now own nothing! We are currently travelling around the world full time. We now enjoy world travel to all sorts of amazing destinations, for less than sitting at home watching the rain. You can too. Come join us.

The Biggest Expense We Eliminated | Travel & Explore Now

The Biggest Expense We Eliminated | Travel & Explore Now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uaFt0D-qMA For years, we thought our home was helping us build wealth. What we didn’t realize was that it was costing us over $17,000 per month when we accounted for everything—including opportunity cost. But this video isn’t really about the house. It’s about something much bigger. After four years of early retirement and full-time travel, we’ve discovered that the biggest expense wasn’t the money. It was the opportunities, experiences, flexibility, and freedom we were sacrificing to maintain a lifestyle we thought we needed. In this video, we share the lessons we’ve learned about retirement, financial freedom, fitness, lifestyle design, geographic freedom, and why creating flexibility may be one of the smartest financial decisions you can make. Whether your dream is traveling the world, learning a new skill, spending more time with family, or simply living life on your own terms, we hope this video encourages you to think differently about what really matters. 👇 We’d love to hear from you: If you had more flexibility in your life, what would you do before you’re too old to do it?

We Didnt Expect This in Gran Canaria | Travel & Explore Now #grancanaria #laspalmas #Spain

We Didn’t Expect This in Gran Canaria 🇮🇩 | Travel & Explore Now #grancanaria #laspalmas #Spain https://www.youtube.com/shorts/C2VfNKgWPhY 🍜 One of the best restaurants we’ve discovered in Las Palmas! During our time in Gran Canaria, we visited Bilik Batavia, an Indonesian restaurant in Las Palmas, and it completely exceeded our expectations. The food was authentic, flavourful, and reasonably priced, while the service made us feel right at home. It’s a great example of why we love slow travel—sometimes the best experiences come from stepping away from the tourist hotspots and trying something new. If you’re visiting Gran Canaria, this restaurant deserves a spot on your list. 📍 Bilik Batavia Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain Have you ever tried Indonesian food?
