Raw and Roaming

The morning my husband said "We need to stop dreaming" — and I completely fell apart.

I woke up excited. He woke up with a list. Marina costs, maintenance, planning, expenses… and just like that, the dream of living on a boat started to sink. I cried. Not because I couldn't have the yacht — but because it felt like 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. And I was exhausted from that dance.

For the first time, I doubted us. I doubted everything. We had left behind a beautiful home, incredible neighbors, a real sense of community — something that's genuinely hard to find in Belgium. I was spiraling.

But then my husband said two words: RV life.

I had zero clue what that meant. Belgium is the size of Maryland — there are no wide open highways, no RV dealerships on every corner, no community of families rolling across the country in their homes on wheels. It simply doesn't exist there. I didn't know this lifestyle was even an option.

One hour later, we were at an RV dealership in the US.

Three seconds after stepping inside one? I said yes.

In this episode, we walk you through the emotional rollercoaster of ditching the boat dream, discovering full-time RV living, choosing our floor plan, staying debt-free, and — somehow — buying a truck in Miami and an RV in Caldwell, Idaho… over the phone… before our visa ran out.

Buckle up. 🚐

We left our country with 3 suitcases, no plans and 3 months to figure it out.Can we make it work or was this the biggest mistake of our lives?!Tick-tock.#newlife #fulltimetravelfamily #startingover #vodcast #vlogcast

When you start your new life as a family with nothing but 3 suitcases, a new country, no plans and no turning back the stakes are as high as the excitement. The risk is rewarding and the sky knows no limits, it feels like freedom.#lifeontheroad #newlife #fulltimetravelfamily #vlogcast

The moment we decided to sell everything, leave our country with no clear plan.We didn't know it back then but this was actually Phase 1: The decision.It didn't feel like a big move at the time, just checking things out of a to-do list without looking back.#fulltimetravelfamily #lifeontheroad #newlife #vlogcast

I’ve always been a traveler…the kind that lands in a country without speaking the language, with no plan, and just figures it out.

In this second episode of Raw & Roaming, I’m taking you on the vacation that changed our lives.

I’ve always been a traveler…
the kind that lands in a country without speaking the language, with no plan, and just figures it out.

In this first episode of Raw & Roaming, I’m taking you back to who I was before everything changed — how I used to travel, what I was chasing, and how becoming a mom slowly shifted everything.

This is where the story begins.

Open doors.

That’s what we’ve been following — not a plan, not a perfectly mapped-out future, just doors that open… and the courage to walk through them making sure no to close too many others.

In this episode, I talk about how “open doors” slowly became a guideline for our life decisions.
Not overthinking everything. Not forcing what doesn’t fit. Just noticing what feels right, what flows, and what makes us feel alive.

This isn’t a method. It’s not advice.
It’s just our way of moving through life right now — raw, imperfect, and constantly changing.

If you’ve ever felt torn between security and freedom… or wondered what would happen if you trusted the path a little more — this might resonate.

👉 I’m curious — do you follow open doors, or do you prefer a clear plan?

Homeschooling worked… until it didn’t.

We started homeschooling because we wanted freedom — the ability to travel, explore, and live differently.

But somewhere along the way, it started to feel like we had just recreated school… in a different place.

In this episode, I share why we made the shift to unschooling, what didn’t sit right anymore, and how our approach to learning has completely changed.

This is just our experience — raw, honest, and still evolving.

If you’ve ever questioned school, homeschooling, or what learning “should” look like… this might resonate.

This is where it starts.

I left my country to chase the American dream, and somehow, we ended up living in an RV.

No plan, no script — just the real story, as I remember it.
