But it didn't really work out for a number of reasons. But we are really happy with the alternative - being slow travelers and part-time expats! We have a small home in the USA that is our home base, and spend 1-3 months at a time in one place overseas, several times a year. We stay long enough to really learn about a place's people and the history, and experience living in the culture. 👇👇👇 Panoramas of many places we have been that you can load on your PC and use as wallpaper for a multiple monitor setup (since the panoramas will stretch across several screens):👇👇👇 https://www.89daysaway.com/blog/free-panorama-travel-photos-you-can-use-for-your-multi-monitor-setup 👨‍🦱👩‍🦰More about us:👨‍🦱👩‍🦰 https://www.89daysaway.com/about-us And in case you were wondering: Our channel title "89 Days Away" refers to the EU Schengen limit of letting visitors stay 3 months (in the Schengen zone) during a visit—living away for 89 days before having to go home.
