Grateful to be able to work from so many different places, as long as there’s internet.
Sometimes I’m afraid of losing everything we’ve built, because this lifestyle truly feels like a dream.. one that came to life through years of hard work, sacrificing time with loved ones, and letting go of some friendships along the way.

Building a company from the ground up isn’t easy.
But in the end, it’s about what you value in life and how you choose to spend your time.

Life is short.
Might as well take the risk. 🫶

Travel tip: If you want to avoid expensive train tickets in Europe, check out FlixBus! 🚌

> Building a company from the ground up isn’t easy. It's not, but nowdays all you need is a laptop and some time. I think about that a lot. My business partner started our first venture from the cab of his volvo loader and a Microsoft surface. My dad needed a $30k initial investment, a $2000/month...

@Bennu Breath 𓅣 That sounds like an exciting new chapter! Do you have any idea where you want to move next? Off-grid life is amazing, but the city brings so many new opportunities… And I will look into connecting the Lightning walled for Zaps ⚡️ Thank you for the tip 💜

Yeah, some bigger change is ahead. We don't know exactly where. Preferably in Greece, but with a much easier travel connection and city closer by. You never know though, we are open to other spots. Madeira's on the list, too, by the way. We've been there last year for Bitcoin Atlantis. Which city wi...

We made a huge decision last week, and gave ourselves just two weeks to pack up our whole life.

A few months ago, we started wondering… what if we left the island and moved back to the city?

Last week, we said yes to that idea. & suddenly, everything’s moving fast.
So why leave a place that gave us so much?

Because as the business started growing, our life started shifting too.

Travel picked up and we realized we needed to be in a place with more connection, more people with easy access to travel.

The island gave us focus. The city will give us new opportunities.
This next chapter is definitely pushing us. we're learning to lead through uncertainty, make decisions quickly, and grow with a team.

If you’re in a season of change too:
Trust the pull.
Get uncomfortable.
Your environment matters more than you think.

Let’s see what unfolds next.
Excited for this next adventure!

P.s. We will keep coming back to the island to host retreats & events, visit friends and enjoy the island! Madeira is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to...

We're on the same train of though here. As my business keeps gaining traction, our off-grid life away is not fitting as well anymore, although I love it 🌿 Decisions to be made, indeed. And please connect your Lightning wallet for zaps 😉

Starting the day with a workout at @crossfitfnc in Funchal, Madeira! Save this CrossFit spot for when you’re visiting the island 🌺

I didn’t want to show up today.
My alarm felt too early, and my bed was way too comfortable.

But I decided to go anyway.
it’s a non-negotiable, and had a great session! (Especially after seeing Bitcoin going through the roof 🙃)

🔑 Lesson: You won’t always feel ready.
But you don’t have to feel ready to show up.

Are you going to the gym today?
