About me
Welcome to Our Freedom Project! We’re Jason and Nancy. We quit our jobs (retired in our early 50s), sold our house and all our possessions, and set out to explore the world - one country, one month, and one story at a time. With our three young adult sons cheering us on from back home in the U.S., we’re embracing a new chapter of freedom, exploration, and adventure. Jason was a program manager in the space industry, sending hardware into space in support of major programs like the James Webb Space Telescope and Mars Rover. Nancy was an actor and acting coach in Los Angeles. She still coaches remotely and is available to act if Steven Spielberg comes calling! Now they pursue their passions and hope to inspire and educate others who want to do the same thing!

Today we’re officially on our way to Vietnam! ✈️🇻🇳 But, while we’re traveling, make sure to watch our latest YouTube video reflecting on what 6 months of full-time travel—and 7 weeks back in the U.S.—taught us. Coming home was exactly what we needed, but it also confirmed why we chose this lifestyle in the first place. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to come home after long-term travel, we think you’ll enjoy this conversation. 🎥 Watch the full video on YouTube—link in our bio! Thank you for following along and cheering us on. We can’t wait to take you with us through Southeast Asia!🌎 #slowtravel #worldtravel #travelingcouple #fulltimetravel #vietnamtravel
Asia here we come! 30 hours from lift-off in Los Angeles to touchdown in DaNang, Vietnam. It all starts tomorrow. We’ll spend a month each in Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and finally Japan. We’ll be back to visit the U.S. for the holidays! This is a whole new adventure for us. We hope you’ll follow along as we discover new cultures, new languages, new foods and feel what it’s like to live in new places!🌎❤️ #slowtravel #worldtravel #travelingcouple #asiatravel #emptynest

Our last days in California have been beautiful! We head for Asia for 4 months in just a few days, so we are soaking in the California vibes.

Follow us and spend a month each in Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan. We leave in 4 days! Get packed!🌏❤️ #slowtravel #worldtravel #travelingcouple #fulltimetravel #canlesofficial
Our love language is acts of service! We’ve been traveling through Europe for the last 6 months and spoiling our son’s as much as possible before we leave again for Asia for 4 months. We’ve been back for almost 3 weeks and we’ve squeezed in 6 months of parenting. Between fixing cars, help with moving, cooking dinners and breakfasts and a major celebration, it’s been an incredible visit! We’ll keep spoiling them until we leave. Vietnam is getting closer and closer! Follow our adventures…we leave in 5 days. Packing up and travel day is almost here! #slowtravel #worldtravel #travelingcouple #fulltimetravel #lovelanguage
