Do you ever dream about having multiple homes around the world but assume it's only possible much later in life?


For quite some time, this was just a dream written on our Life Canvas. Today, we’re holding the keys to a three-story villa with ocean views and rice paddy fields stretching endlessly beyond what will be our future home.


This is what happens when intention meets opportunity and how a casual walk down a street can completely accelerate your long-term vision.


So in this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how this unfolded, from the moment I spotted construction happening down the road to negotiating lease terms, hiring lawyers, and setting up what we're calling our "Freedom House."


What You’ll Learn:

  • How we navigated property systems across countries and how Bali's long-term lease system opened doors we didn't expect
  • The exact decision-making framework we used to evaluate properties and why building relationships with landlords mattered more than negotiating price
  • What it actually takes to establish life in a new country and why giving yourself 2+ months to find your rhythm is non-negotiable
  • The business foundation that made this move possible and how location-independent income, homeschooling plans, and remote systems created our freedom
  • Why we're turning our villa into a "Freedom House" for monthly rentals and business intensives (and how you might experience it yourself)
