In this episode, we talk about: - seeing the volcano, Mona Loa, erupting - how having a routine is making it harder to remember what happens every week - Jordyn not knowing where she's going to live starting in January - creepy things happening around our house - why creativity is for everyone
In this lengthy episode, we talk about a range of topics from our flea infestation, Jordyn being pummeled against rocks in the ocean, getting back to living as we were created to, Mary's recent revelation of why "being nice" is not our highest calling, and the concept of viewing work as a contribution rather than careerism.
**We've been told that the audio is hard to hear in this episode. We're sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to avoid this issue in the coming episodes.** Since moving to Hawaii, we have both felt the weirdness of moving to a new place and feeling out of place. We talk about how we're slowly finding our footing and what has made us feel more ourselves and more at home. From going to the gym, to meeting our neighbors, to going surfing, and getting a set work schedule, we talk about how these l...

After that... we're not really sure what will happen. We talk about our desire to live a simple, rent free life out of a car or van and the frustrations of how complicated modern life seems to be. Will we be able to find housing in Kona? If not, will we have to move to a different island?
In the last episode, we left you guys on a little bit of a cliff hanger. We had four hours to figure out where we were going to stay that night before we had to leave the missions base we were at. In this episode, we update you on whether we were able to find somewhere and what our current living situation looks like here in Kona, Hawaii. We also reflect on an interesting detail of this past week: everyone that has made us feel safe have been men we didn't know and everyone that has made us feel...
In our first ever episode, we retell the details of our journey moving to Hawaii and everything that went down within the first two days.
