0:00.0	I'm sure this is something you've experienced. You meet a couple at a party, through your friend
0:05.8	group, wherever, and they're one of those couples that just, you just like them immediately.
0:12.5	There's something magical about the two of them together. They have a certain energy, a certain
0:16.5	chemistry, and you're just like, man, I love this couple. Well, I have one of those couples on the show
0:21.9	today, my friends Cassie and Nate, who left a comfortable life in Portland, Oregon, where they
0:28.3	really had a great situation in terms of their lifestyle there. But everything that was surface level,
0:35.1	once we dug a little deeper, you kind of start to see, well,
0:38.1	maybe it wasn't so ideal for a lot of reasons. And because of that, they decided to take off
0:44.3	and make that transition to travel. So we talk about that transition with them today, why they

1:28.6	just the dedication they have to keep this lifestyle going, how they ended up moving to Mexico,
1:33.7	and what that's like. We talk about indigenous and local travel, trying to support those
1:39.4	local businesses. We get some great tips around that and making a living on the road, which is something that anybody
1:46.4	who wants to travel long term needs to do unless you're living off some fat savings account.
1:52.7	And if you are, good on you.
