About the Authors
and are an IRL married couple with one school-aged kiddo. We 💛 to travel and explore the culture, history, food, and customs of new places. Instead of a baby book, we kept a travel log for our son. His first flight was at age five months, and his 100th flight was for his tenth birthday to London! Combined, we’ve lived in five countries, including Trinidad & Tobago, Brazil, Finland, Panama, and of course, the United States. “If it’s not a hell yes, then it’s a hell no.”
Somewhere in the middle of the pandemic craziness, we had an uh-oh moment when we realized that certain things were not getting better where we were. In typical project manager style, we did extensive research (including scouting trips!) and concluded that what we needed to do was pack it all up, y’all, and move to Panama!
The rest, as they say, is history.
