2 weeks in Melaka… and we still don’t know where we’re going next 😅✈️ Actually—we kinda do. Just not in the way you’d expect.

Here’s our simple 4-step system for figuring it out without overplanning:

1️⃣ Start with a shortlist
Anywhere is fair game. This time? Tioman Island 🏝️ (hello snorkeling + nostalgia)

2️⃣ Map the logistics
Flights, buses, ferries, stays—we piece it all together like a puzzle.

3️⃣ Find the bottleneck
There’s always one. For us? Ferry schedules = everything.

4️⃣ Book fast (but flexible)
Divide & conquer. Lock it in. Make sure we can still cancel if plans change.

Result: Melaka ➡️ Tioman ➡️ Singapore… for now 😉

No rigid plans. Just enough structure to keep the adventure going.

When we shared that we were planning to give away ALL of our belongings, sell the house and cars, and downsize to a backpack for all our worldly possessions; reactions were, “I could never do that”, and “That’s gotta be so emotional…so hard.”
