About the Authors

Our journey started in South Korea where we lived for five years. After moving back to the States, we quickly realized how much we missed the peace, the ease, and the sense of freedom that came with living abroad.

So in 2023, we packed up and left again—this time with the intention of finding a place that felt like home.

Thailand checked all the boxes. It gave us safety (as Black queer women, that mattered a lot), a slower pace of life, affordable living, and space to actually enjoy our days and run our business with more ease.

We’re not here to sell a dream—we’re here to help you stop waiting for the “right time” and start living the life that’s calling you.

If you’ve been thinking about starting over somewhere new, you’re not alone. We’ve done it, and we’re figuring it out every day.
