Wow this post really hit me.

I’m still in the early stages of my journey – figuring things out, trying to trust the process – and reading this gave me so much hope.

It’s crazy how many ups and downs can fit into just a few years, but the way you tell it makes it feel less scary and more human.

Thank you for sharing all of it – the real stuff. It helps more than you know.🙏🏼🧡

Thank you Maya, I’m glad my story is helpful 😊

“Old me” would have lost my shit and probably gave up with all these things happening to be fair 😅 But I’ve learned that I can only control some aspects of my life, and for the rest I just have to go with the flow and take what feels like the best decisions on the moment 🤷‍♂️

(Sounds easy, but it’s not I know lol).

Thank you so much again for your openness and sharing also the not so pretty side of nomad life and entrepreneurship. I can really feel you with the struggle of balancing family, caregiving, and the desire to travel, explore and pursue your own projects. One of the most difficult parts of nomad life is leaving family at home. I admire how you managed to adapt in each moment and live in alignment with your values. I think that's the true definition of success. Financial losses can be extremely tough, but the important thing is that you can trust your skills and ability to find a solution that works for you. Looking forward to following your next adventure!

Thank you Theresa ❤️

It is more complex than most people think for sure! They often see the bright side only.

I don't think I would have handled all this so much "pre-growth" to be honest. I'm sort of grateful that all of this happened after my time in Miami where I really learned how to deal with life much better... I would have lost my shit otherwise 😂

About trusting my skills and ability, I have this strange gut belief that I will figure this chapter out somehow, despite the challenges. It might be a little delusional, but I believe I will eventually "crack the code" of my entrepreneurship journey and that I will be ok. Hope I'm right 🤞🤣

Yes!! 🙌 Trust your intuition, pursue your goals, adjust where needed, and things will fall into place 😊 sometimes the timing of these challenges can be crazy, right? I can definitely relate with that feeling of the "pre-growth" phase - and immensely grateful when bigger challenges come up and we feel a little more prepared 😅

Completely. In a way it came at the right time, I had all the time in the world to help and be present, I had saved money to help, and I was "ready" to handle such a situation. Strange!

Great article, Jeremie. I’m curious to watch how the next phase of your life unfolds, quirks, detours and all! I’m beginning to feel that urge to settle somewhere for a while and focus on growing our business too.

Thank you!

Haha yeah I feel that. Slow travel is great for this, staying at least 1 month somewhere (in the same accommodation gives you enough time to see things without rushing so you can work.

Yup! Peace for me is found in the absence of rush.

What's funny is that I enjoy both... I can be somewhere for 1 month and "do nothing" and be happy... but I also love intense travel moving every few days... I would do it more if Rosie was up for it more often (but she gets tired quicker than I do haha).

Hahah I'm like Rosie - I love a good string of "chill days". As much as Flynn and I are trying to stay present and enjoy having little kids, there will come a day when they are older and we can do the moving every few days style of travel. You get to see so much more when you move around more often - like your 17 cities in Mexico! Still amazed!

Exactly, there is a time for everything, for every pace.

I really appreciate the honesty here. In my own travels, I strike a balance between being open and holding onto the things that I'm just not willing to share in a public forum. You highlight the transitions between celebrating getting what you want and all of the surprises, changes and flexes that you have to make in order to keep moving forward. In writing about my own travels, I've shared a few headaches. But there is so much more that I'm not going to share. Either way, what I see in your story is that you have a strong intention and objective, such that each time the path takes you in a different direction, you're able to come back to what is important for you. Back in the direction that your compass points. I admire that about you both!
