@epicureanexpats @JustinLaurenXO @IBBtravel Yeah that's the part I've got to get figured out (remote) feel like so many won't work and provide stable enough income don't want to get stuck

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A6. In this case I will create a plan of the things that I am interesting in and will start for doing it. With the rest of the time, something will come up in the moment. #InspireToWander

A6: Having the opportunity to work remotely definitely helps, but I still feel like I run around like a chicken with no head. just with the added stress of work on top of that 😹 I really need to work on the whole slow travel thing! #InspireToWander

#inspiretowander A 6) We try to do a balance. We split the year with a trip that's busy, and one that's slow. For the slow trip we purposely choose a place that doesn't have a million activities. We can do a few activities, but the rest of the time we can take things slow.

replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats How cool. Madrid is also a good city. I enjoyed visiting it. #InspireToWander

replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @IBBtravel We don't plan on returning to the states. We'll stay in Mexico fo awhile, then maybe Uraguay or SE Asia. Spain is still a dream location to live. #inspiretowander

replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats @IBBtravel @RybaMichele Yeah, I know it would be a whole different experience to just stay put in a new place! But at the same time, I like having my routines here at home. Maybe I will go somewhere and stay in 1 city for a month and see how it goes! #InspireToWander

replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @epicureanexpats @JustinLaurenXO It's definitely in the back of my mind, though Robin (my other half) has family in Germany which I know would help a lot until we got on our feet if we were to move! #InspireToWander

Q7: A great part of slow travel is getting to know the locals who live there. How do you get to know the people that live where you’re visiting? #InspireToWander

replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @inspiretowander We try to balance😉 I take my time at churches or museums but I know, sometimes I want to do it all ! #InspireToWander

A7. Look for small bars or restaurants where the locals hang out away from the tourist attractions. #inspiretowander
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @epicureanexpats @IBBtravel That's always an option! They hate hate hate going in the car for a drive down the street to the vet so I can't imagine them on a plane LOL #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel Maybe we need to explore this remote work deeper. #inspiretowander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel @JustinLaurenXO @RybaMichele You will stress out over the transport more than the cats. I had to put my dog under the plane ( afew times). I was always the crazy dog lady ont he plane. #inspiretowander
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats I love staying in smaller towns! Perhaps even more than the big cities! #InspireToWander

replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats @amaixico @inspiretowander It really has the best of both worlds there! #InspireToWander

A7: By being friendly! Just asking someone 'how are you' can open up a whole conversation, & I've found that if you say 'I'm not from around here, do you have any suggestions on what I should see/do/eat' people are always happy to chat about their town! #InspireToWander

A7 #inspiretowander Walk neighborhoods, go into local shops, practice the art of conversation.

replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats @IBBtravel Need a sidekick 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #inspiretowander. Those all sound wonderful and maybe Bali, Vietnam, Croatia. Oh the happy counties Denmark Sweden Norway the list keeps going

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A7. Most of the time that process is not planned. I am always smiling and with a good attitude and that makes it easier to talk with anyone. I have made good friends while traveling in that way. #InspireToWander
RybaMichele
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @epicureanexpats @IBBtravel I could give up the routine here at home in a second #inspiretowander. Just for a little bit about enough stability to be okay
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats @IBBtravel @RybaMichele I would be a gigantic ball of stress the entire time! I get you! #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel
@IBBtravel @epicureanexpats @JustinLaurenXO Where is Robin's family in Germany? That would be a huge help in adjusting
#inspiretowander. you can do a road trip every weekend and half the time being one or three other countries much less exploring Germany

#inspiretowander A 7) Hang out at local coffee shops or bars or attend a local celebration or festival. Also take a tour with a guide who is a local.

replying to @amaixico @amaixico @inspiretowander Oh if that counts maybe I'm a little better at this than I thought #inspiretowander. although I doubt it most of my friends family and others cannot keep up with me

replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats @RybaMichele @IBBtravel LOL I need the. human-nip. OMG that sounds terrible though 😂😂😂 Not nipples I swear #InspireToWander
RybaMichele
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @epicureanexpats @IBBtravel I did have to sedate her for the flight cuz it's just entirely too long but she loved to travel and be with us everywhere once we were there and or back on this side #inspiretowander

Q8: Do any destinations feel like a second home to you? Where, and why? #InspireToWander

A8. Most places in Europe feel like home to me. It's the centuries old architecture, walking streets and just people enjoying themselves without a schedule. #inspiretowander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel that has opened more doors and secret areas that no one knows about except locals. Some little out of the way restaurant that isn't on the main highway. or looks like nothing. Had some fantastic meals and had people join me too. #inspiretowander

replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @epicureanexpats @JustinLaurenXO They're in two small towns north of Frankfurt. so we'd definitely need a car 😹 #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @epicureanexpats @IBBtravel .... But then again dogs probably travel little better than cats #inspiretowander
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @AuraPriiscel @AuraPriiscel It is very true! If you're smiling and look content you're definitely approachable and people will want to talk to you more! #InspireToWander

replying to @MeToddScott @MeToddScott These are seriously my favourite travel memories. It means so much to me to have someone open up a little piece of their world and share it with me! #InspireToWander

replying to @epicureanexpats
@epicureanexpats @IBBtravel @JustinLaurenXO 💯. I was always the one that had her passport picture all of our flight information or phone numbers all over the kennel and I would make sure that they had to tell me when we got on the plane that she was on so I totally get it

replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @IBBtravel Yes, it's hard to pick one place. We see great opportunity here in Mexico for the next few years, and we will see what happens later in the future. Maybe we'll make enough money to have second home and divide our time (a girl can dream!) #inspiretowander

replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats @JustinLaurenXO @IBBtravel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣#inspiretowander. Omg I can't stop laughing

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A8. Barcelona will always be my second home. I lived there for almost two years and it was a marvelous time. I miss it so much. #InspireToWander

A8 #inspiretowander Lugano, Switzerland was a place I felt at home in. It’s right down on the Italian border. Beautiful place.

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @epicureanexpats @IBBtravel I'm the worst flyer, hate sitting still that long so I get it, I'd love to sedate myself for flights to #inspiretowander

replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @JustinLaurenXO @epicureanexpats I think it really depends on the animal! Look at all those camping cats on Insta! 😹 #InspireToWander
