Our Notes From the Road
-
Our final days in Negros Oriental moved between unhurried coastal time and a long, logistics-heavy trip to the Twin Lakes. It was a fitting end to a stay shaped as much by everyday moments as by effort and distance.
-
Our first days in Valencia, Negros Oriental, offered waterfalls, hot springs, and encounters with local life. From Dauin’s coastal calm to the mountain charm of Liptong, we explored Casaroro Falls, Forest Camp, and Red Rock Hot Spring while enjoying the warmth and friendliness of the Philippines countryside.
-
We spent a slow, memorable week in Dauin, Negros Oriental, Philippines — swimming at sunrise, snorkeling near Apo Island, and experiencing daily life between two passing typhoons. It was a gentle introduction to the Philippines, shaped by friendly locals and the rhythm of the ocean.
-
After a day exploring Vancouver, we began our long journey to Dauin via Seoul and Manila. Between lounges, compression socks, and a typhoon warning, we learned that travel is equal parts chaos and kindness — especially when a sea of yellow umbrellas greets you in the Dumaguete rain.
-
Explore Vancouver on foot in three unhurried days — from Chinatown’s Chinese Garden to Stanley Park and Kitsilano Beach at sunset.
-
Our slow travel story began in 2021, when a remote work idea turned into a five-month stay in Mexico—and changed how we see the world. What started as a break from routine grew into a new lifestyle of early retirement, deeper travel, and living at an unhurried pace.
-
Mexico City dazzles with museums and street life, but the real magic lies beyond — from ancient pyramids to misty mountains and forest trails, these day trips reveal a quieter side of Mexico. Each place revealed not just beauty and history, but kindness from strangers that turned challenges into unforgettable memories.
-
Mexico City is grand, chaotic, and endlessly alive. From ruins to quiet parks, slow travel reveals the city’s true heart.
-
Coyoacán, a barrio in Mexico City, became more than a stop on our journey. Its calm rhythm, leafy streets and slow afternoons made it feel like home — the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.
