2015 Was our year of change. We got rid of our possessions and started traveling the world.

How to stay motivatedWe are slow travelers, online entrepreneurs and dedicated house & pet sitters. We are The Perfect Strugglers.  

We believe that freedom, opportunities, joy, skills and wisdom will follow after struggle.

You benefit from our struggles. We share our stories, struggles and lessons learned with you.  We wish our blog will inspire you to do what is good for you. Struggle is the beginning of something beautiful.
