  Congratulations on the launch of your app. My husband and I just moved out of our house for full time slow travel LAST NIGHT. I'm excited that your app sounds like it will be really helpful to keep us organized!

  I am a 70 year old FT traveler, and I spent about a month in Rwanda last winter.  I never expected to fall in love with it like I did.  The sweetest people I've encountered.   My most impactful experience was visiting some of the smaller, more rural genocide memorials where you can hear the stories of the local people.  I took the bus all over the country...so clean and orderly!  I spent a good bit of my time in the north in the smaller town of Musanze.  The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fosse Gorilla Fund was a wonderful experience, if you end up that far north.  I really enjoyed reading "Land of a Thousand Hills" by Rosamond Halsey Carr while I was there, following in her footsteps.   I hope you find the same magic there as I did.

  I always enjoy listening to your candid videos where you just chat and talk about traveling itself and not specifically about any trip.  Makes your other videos feel much more personal.   Keep it up. William

  Wow! That's a lot of countries to see in a year. Good for you. Our nomad travels are not so fast as yours. We decided to keep it slow. 28 days at a time with the occasional 7 to 14 days. We find 3 weeks in one place is our sweet spot to see the things we want to see and explore and then we give ourselves that extra week to just chill out, recharge and smell the roses. This also helps us to find a hint of normalcy. I came to the conclusion shortly after we started our nomad lifestyle that rushing to see everything wasn't as important as enjoying the place, it's food and it's people. We are 63 and 65. We will be in Malaysia Georgetown from March 11th - April 8th if your schedule coincides with ours, let us know. We'd love to meet up.

  I still really can't imagine planning my travel (other than vague, big picture notions) more than 3-4 months in advance! I always make in-travel, day-before changes even when only planning a month or two in advance.  So your videos like this one always amaze me.

  We were in Thailand last year and Bangkok stole my heart.  Felt safe wandering alleys and side streets.  It's a city to explore beyond the 'tourist ' sights.  The beautiful people,  sights and street food.  Took public transit everywhere.

  I’m so excited for your time in Africa!! None of the YouTubers I follow have spent any significant time there and I’m so curious! <br>Your plan is ambitious but what a great list of adventures you’re planning. Thanks for taking us along!

  I am a Sri Lankan. Galle has a nice vibe but if you are after Christmas decorations and looking to experience the Christmas feeling then Colombo is the place. Also, Sigiriya is a very small town. Unless you are looking to relax in a hotel there isn&apos;t much to do for that many days. All the best for 2026!!!

  I’m Australian but love New Zealand. It’s such a beautiful country with such friendly people. I love Japan too. I can’t wait to go back and explore the quieter places.

  Wow, this is really ambitious! &nbsp; I am full of admiration that both of you have so much energy! &nbsp;On my part, we had completed one full year of travel across Europe in 2025.<br><br>In 2026, we are now travelling across Asia - Vietnam, China, South Korea, Japan, etc. &nbsp;My style of slow travel is one month at a time in every city 😂. &nbsp;At this rate, my wife complains that we will take eternity to cover the whole world. &nbsp;Sounds like a good idea to be traveling FOREVER, hahaha

  I travel to Zagreb a couple of years ago on a three week trip through Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro. This was our second trip. I was surprised how lovely Zagreb is. I would highly recommend &nbsp;Plitvica Lakes National &nbsp;Park . It is fairly close to Zagreb. It was gorgeous.
