Nomads and Nimble Shadow

This episode brought to you by all the small country roads that somehow earned a highway label. We take the long way from Oregon counterclockwise through the USA to Canada. We discuss living on the road, people watching, and experiencing the small nuances brought to you by the backroads. We hope you enjoy our meandering.

We flew to the wrong island… and it turned into one of the best weeks of our lives. Seven days on a dive boat, exploring reefs, meeting amazing people, and making memories that hit different.

This one’s loaded with videos and photos—throw it on your big screen and come along with us.

We sit down with some new friends and discuss what it takes to walk away from what you know and to follow the dream of living abroad. The impetus to departure, and the day-to-day lessons of being outside of the USA. A big thank you to Vanessa and Don for joining us and sharing their story.

We step out on a three-day road trip to explore La Fortuna. Our days were filled with white water rafting, chasing turquoise waterfalls, hiking in the wilderness, and stumbling across a culinary hidden gem on the side of a lonely country road. Hop in with us as we explore the volcanic beauty surrounding La Fortuna.

This podcast has photos and videos throughout to help you follow along with the sights and sounds of our adventure.

In this episode, we talk about the unexpected loss of my father and my trip back to the United States to face my responsibilities. We also reminisce about air travel and share stories of prior adventures. Thanks for listening!

Two podcasts in one. The first part entails our adventure and discovery of the medical system in Central America. Can two brave Americans pay less and get more in a developing country? I think you'll be surprised by what we have discovered. Part two focuses on our drive and experience of what the Caribbean side of Costa Rica has to offer. Which side is more appealing to you?

This was a difficult episode to publish as my father passed away during its production. This two-part podcast is dedicated to my father. He would have never listened to it, but I'm giving it to him anyway. Rest in Peace, Dad. 🥹🖤

What is Christmas to you? What makes you get in the Christmas Spirit? What are the traditions that can carry over to Central America? We share seasonal stories and listen to Emma reflect on what made her Christmas magical growing up.

In this episode, we explore the idea that meaningful memories often live just beyond our comfort zone. From traveling in developing countries and trying unfamiliar foods to staying in unexpected places and visiting destinations many friends and family would never imagine, we talk about how taking thoughtful risks can lead to unforgettable experiences. We share stories of a baboon challenging us for food inside a rental vehicle, and a hike in South Africa where a wrong turn led straight through a baboon troop. Is there a sliding scale between risk and joy when it comes to memory-making? This episode includes photos and videos along the way—so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.send questions/comments/topics to us at:

The Cost of Caring Too Much
Is it healthier to care less and live fancy-free, or safer to pre-plan and stress over everything that could go wrong? In this episode, we dive into K’s wildly chaotic day, complete with rabies worries and geckos dropping from the ceiling. We also revisit some heartbreaking—but unbelievable—animal stories from our years in law enforcement. It’s a conversation about worry, instinct, and whether caring too much is hurting more than it’s helping.Trigger warning: animals, suffering, and a gnarly motorcycle accident K helped out with during her road trip.
