Our Story

Hey, we’re Toi & Brandon — and this is our freedom story.

We were living the “American dream” — steady jobs, bills on autopay, weekends that came and went too fast. But deep down, we knew we were just existing. We felt stuck in a cycle of working just to survive, not to truly live.

So we made the scariest — and best — decision of our lives: we got married (after 8 years), quit our jobs, packed up our two Australian Shepherds (shoutout to Ace & Deuce 🐾), and moved from Columbus, Ohio to Mérida, Mexico.

It wasn’t easy. It was full of doubt, fear, and what-ifs. But we knew we’d rather take the risk than live with the regret of never trying.

Now, we’re building a life on our terms — full of purpose, passion, and adventure — and showing others how they can do it too. From budget travel hacks to using points and miles, from real talk on fear to tips for making the leap, we’re here to share it all.

Because our purpose is bigger than us — it’s about helping you realize that you’re not stuck. You’re just one decision away from a completely different life.

Our Adventures

A Glimpse into our travels and story.

From $20K in Credit Card Debt to Traveling the World for Free

Not too long ago, we were drowning in over $20,000 of credit card debt. We used credit to survive, not to thrive — groceries, bills, quick getaways we couldn’t actually afford. We didn’t realize how much it was holding us back until we sat down, looked at our finances, and said, “This can’t be our life forever.”

So we got serious. We learned how to budget for real — not just to pay bills, but to build freedom. We created a plan, stuck to it, and slowly chipped away at every dollar we owed. No shortcuts. No windfalls. Just discipline, teamwork, and a bigger vision for the life we wanted.

Once we got out of debt, we promised ourselves we’d never use credit the same way again.

That’s when we discovered the world of points and miles. We realized that credit cards — when used intentionally — could actually work in our favor. So we studied, signed up for the right cards, tracked our spending, and took advantage of sign-up bonuses.

We’re not influencers with huge budgets or travel agents with special perks. We’re just a married couple who learned how to turn financial struggle into financial freedom.

And the same budget sheet that helped us pay off debt and stay on track? We still use it today to manage our income and credit card spending — and we’re now sharing it with you. You can grab it HERE and start building your own path to freedom, one dollar (and point!) at a time.
