I’m back on the road — slow-traveling through Europe and Asia for the next five months. Travels with Spirit shares real stories of freedom, growth, and soul-led adventure — told in real time from the journey.

There’s something that happens when you move from one stasis to the next. The energy it takes to shift from a stable home environment into a nomadic lifestyle is not always as I expect. I like to think of myself as adaptable, able to pivot when needed — and yet I also love my world to be neat and orderly. Living out of a suitcase again took more adjustment than I anticipated.

The seasons are shifting. The days are shorter, mornings and evenings are cooler here on the lake, and the final details are falling into place.

I’ve easily spent over 100 hours planning this journey, and most of the time I absolutely love it. As Tim often says (and I fully embrace): this is my superpower. Researching, booking, flights, details — it lights me up. We literally have the entire world at our fingertips. It’s simply a question of where we want to explore next.

Six months on the road teaches you a lot about planning, but here’s the surprising part: it also teaches you how to find joy in doing the every day.

Sure, there are endless to-dos: where we’ll stay, what shoes will work, how to use up everything in the freezer before we leave. But I’m realizing each of those tasks can either feel like a weight - or an invitation to play.

So much to do and plan!

It’s been a slow process starting to prepare for the next on-the-road experience. Partly because life at home has been full — in the best of ways — and partly because I’ve learned to trust the timing and flow of what life offers in the moment.

Time feels like it’s speeding up, so I’ve been practicing pacing myself, breathing, and being present right here.
