When the wind is good in Cabarete, everyone comes out to play! ⁣ ⁣ Our time in the D.R. has been filled to the brim with a million little special moments all woven together to create this magical tapestry of colors that will float in our memories forever.⁣ ⁣ Moments like our daily play times with our neighborhood coconut hound Hector (not a clue if that’s his real name or if he even has one, but that’s what we call him) baseball games on the beach with the local kids (we definitely did not win) and watching the sun kiss the ocean goodnight every single day. ⁣ ⁣ We’re just over here getting swept away by little moments that make our hearts sing. It’s silly little things like these that we love most about travel 💛⁣

We’ve been keeping a little secret…⁣ ⁣ We sold our boat 😳⁣ ⁣ Some of you probably already guessed that, and the rest of you probably need a second to pick your jaws up off the floor. It’s cool we’ll wait 😉⁣ ⁣ The words to explain all this haven’t been easy to find. In fact, we still don’t really have them. How do you sum up 2.5 years filled with a thousand little joyful moments. I honestly don’t think we can. ⁣ ⁣ Boat life was everything we ever dreamed it would be and then some. Letting go wasn’t easy..⁣ ⁣ Life is short, and it moves way too fast. There’s a big ole world out there just waiting to be explored, and as much as we loved our floaty home, it was time for new adventures. ⁣ ⁣ Turning the page in the book of life, and we could not be more stoked for what the future holds! 🤙🏻⁣ ⁣ #boatlife #thefloridakeys #fromwhereistand #sailinglife #islandlife #travelbywater #islandvibes #borntoroam ⁣ #funinthesun #endlessadventures #alwaysonanadventure #wheretonext #traveldiaries

Let’s talk about misconceptions…⁣ ⁣ Social media has pushed this idea that travel is nothing but an escape from the mundane a ticket to pure bliss, where endless adventures stimulates our personal paths to enlightenment and self-discovery. ⁣ ⁣ Not true. Hear us out…⁣ ⁣ In any lifestyle, burnout is a very real thing. It’s a sneaky beast that creeps up on you when you least expect it. And sometimes we all need to take a minute to refill our cups. ⁣ ⁣ To be completely honest we ended 2022, knowing 2023 was going to be a big year for us but also coming off of what was one of the hardest years of our life- we underwent so many changes, and made big bold scary moves (more to share on that later). We needed a month to rest, relax, and catch up, so here we are. ⁣ ⁣ That was a lot of words. If you made it this far, thanks for reading, and don’t forget to take sometime for yourself to smooth out those sharp edges! ⁣ ⁣ Burnout survival tips? Drop em’ in the comments 👇🏻

Life right now: sleep, eat, kite, repeat. ⁣ ⁣ Waking up every day and pinching ourselves. This life we get to live is beyond our wildest dreams, we’re so thankful for it, and that you’re all here along for the journey 🤙🏻

We moved to the Dominican Republic!!!⁣ ⁣ This beautiful island is home for the next 30 days and we could not be more excited! It’s only been 24 hours but we’re already thinking we may never come back 😉⁣ ⁣ 👇🏻 somewhere you’ve been, you never wanted to leave!
