Living abroad as an expat isn't always rainbows and butterflies, but in Jocelyn's opinion..... it's still better than staying "stuck" in the (boring) comfort zone! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
She often gets asked what she misses most about back home, and since her youngest daughter Azalea was born in Costa Rica she would definitely say that Family is the #1 thing she misses from back home. Due to the global situation, she hasn't been able to see her grandparents in over 2 years. They've never even met Azalea in person! (thankful for technology!) โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
The seasons are nice too...(Costa Rica doesn't have the "normal" 4 seasons like Canada does)... and snow in moderation, but she'd take sunshine and a bathing suit over layers and freezing cold any day. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
On a positive note - her now life partner is Costa Rican which makes expat living a *little* simpler, especially because she is still working on her spanish, BUT! navigating parenting with a person that has grown up with cultural differences adds an extra interesting element. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
If you're waiting for the perfect opportunity to travel with your family.... in Jocelyn's words: "STOP WAITING!" โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Life will never be "perfect" and the timing isn't always ideal... but if you allow yourself the freedom to dream bigger and trust in the process.. you'll surely find your way. Everything is always working out for you, happening FOR you.. not TO you. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Have an incredible joy filled week - from Jocelyn + family from the sunny beaches of Costa Rica! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

{Seeing with new eyes} One of our favorite things about travel is how things you glaze over in your daily life at home become fascinating. When we are dropped into a new city, a new grocery store, or a new street, we notice life in a fresh way.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
This is one of the resonating beauties of travel. And, when our children are exposed to different cultures, tastes and ways of being at a young age, they are positioned to be better global citizens. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

{Life-Centric = Being Present}โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
An essential part of choosing to be life-centric (as opposed to work-centric or money-centric) is choosing to show up and be present for your actual life!โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Many international families we have spoken to find that by prioritizing travel, they are able to practice being truly present for life's beauty.

Here's a normal office when you are a digital nomad. Usually it involves us, our laptops, and a great cafe and some fresh air. Sorry to make you jealous

This is us. Nice to ๐’Ž๐’†๐’†๐’• you! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
We are a holistic minded, travel loving family living on the pacific coast of Costa Rica. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
But things werenโ€™t always this warm and sunnyโ€ฆ Jocelyn and her two older children are originally from the snowy mountains of Canada. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
She was a single parent, building her business in the health + wellness industry during nap times and after bedtime for 2 years before she was financially in a place to be able to promise herself the escape from the freezing north! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
She booked a 1 way flight for her and her two little kids (who were 2 + 4 years old at the time) to Costa Ricaโ€ฆ.. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ€ฆ and they havenโ€™t been back since.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Oh and theyโ€™ve grown by two humans, two dogs and a cat. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Here they are now. Living their version of life to the fullest! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Every opportunity they get to jump in their 4 Runner and explore new places, they do.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Jocelyn strongly believes that travel + exploring is the best โ€œschoolโ€ - she nature schools her kiddos to suit their travel loving lifestyle. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Follow their adventures + learn how you can take your passion for living a healthy nomadic lifestyle and turn it into a purpose filled business you can work from anywhere, anytime! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Send her a DM with โ€œWORK FROM ANYWHEREโ€ and sheโ€™ll send you over a free 4 part mini course that will give you a head start on your journey!โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Happy January wherever you may be in the world! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

{Can you live well for 80% cheaper!?!} In a charming ski town in EUROPE? It's true! One of our favorite workation destinations is Bansko, Bulgaria where cost of living is roughly 80% cheaper than a typical US city.

Does your city have:

- Skiing
- European Charm
- Affordable rent
- International community

We love setting up 30 day+ workations for your family in destinations like Bansko, where you can have a Life-centric Workation.

We miss you, Anthony Bourdain. Here's the unabridged quote.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
//It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that's enlightenment enough - to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.//
