  • #22: Our digital nomad experience in Peru 🇵🇪 (A full guide)
    2025/07/21

    Back in 2023/24, we spend over two months living, travelling, and working in Peru. Between Lima and Cusco we managed to experience a lot of the local culture, learn about the history, and massively improve our Spanish!

    So today we wanted to sit down and cover every aspect of digital nomad life in Peru as we could. Sara and I covered the visa, accommodation options, food scene, internet speeds, coworking spaces, and finished off with our opinion on whether Peru could be a long-term nomad base for us...


    Lima night out: Watch Here!

  • #20: How parents deal with their children leaving to travel w/ Ryan's Mum
    2025/07/07

    Today's guest is a very special one as my mum takes the stand to be asked about her experiences having a digital nomad as a son!

    Sara and I ask her how she felt when I first decided to quit my job and go backpacking, how she copes with me being away, and if full-time travel has changed me as a person.

    We also coax her to recommend her tips and advice for other parents who have kids that want to pursue long-term travel or have the dream to become a digital nomad!

  • #19: Is Bali still an island paradise? Our opinion on gentrification & mass tourism!
    2025/06/30

    It's been over two years since Sara and I decided to leave Bali after almost a year and a half of living on this beautiful Indonesian island, but would we ever move back?

    Recently, it's become pretty common knowledge that Bali struggles with traffic issues, urban sprawl, and overdevelopment which can all be attributed to mass tourism. But all these issues were already a problem when we lived there back in 2022!

    So we thought it would be a good idea to sit down and share our take on our experiences as nomads living in Canggu, and as people who truly put a lot of effort into assimilating into the local culture and learning about local way of life.

    We know that this is a hot topic every time we talk about it... but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be having this conversations even if they're seen as controversial!

    So let us know your opinions in the comments too!

  • #18: Why you should change your career, why we left home & would we every go back?
    2025/06/23

    Whelp, I hope we don't sound too douchey in this episode haha!

    Sara and I sat down to have a heart to heart about our decisions to originally leave our home countries almost a decade ago. These aren't decisions that we made lightly and we wanted to break it down just in case you might be sitting on the fence!

    Also, would we ever move back home in the future? Listen to find out!

    This episode kind of turned into an impromptu inspirational speech about why some people might need to consider switching careers, quitting their job, or maybe even breaking up with a partner...

    So are you ready to take the leap?

  • #17: How much YouTube pays, the power of networking & work/travel balance advice w/ Bob & Eve
    2025/06/16

    If you've ever wondered how the behind the scenes look for full-time YouTubers, Bob and Eve (a.k.a Beve Travels) are pulling back the curtain on their business and social media!

    Bob & Eve have experienced explosive growth on social media in the past year thanks a change in their strategy that they cover in this episode. They also discuss how hiring an editor and thumbnail designer improved their reach, why they've started posting on Facebook too, and tell us if 70,000 subscribers on YouTube is enough to support their full-time travel!

    And if you've ever wanted to get a tattoo from an infamous 108 year old Filipino woman, then Bob & Eve talk about their journey to do that too!
