Hi! We’re Lisa & Ian

Welcome to The Virtual Voyagers,

We’re creating our version of the digital nomad lifestyle, one that’s built around comfort, routine, and actually enjoying the day-to-day of this life. What started as a decision to leave the traditional path has slowly turned into something much deeper, learning how to live, work, and feel good while constantly on the move.

We stepped away from the conventional 9-to-5 and built a life that allows us to travel full-time, without rushing from place to place. Over time, we’ve realized it’s not just about where we go, but how we live while we’re there. The routines we keep, the rhythms we fall into, and the small, everyday moments that make each place feel like home, even if it’s temporary.

Slow travel became the foundation for all of it. Staying 1–3 months in each location gives us the space to settle in, create structure, and experience a place beyond the surface. It’s less about checking destinations off a list and more about living in them, learning what works for us, what doesn’t, and how we want to show up in this version of life.

Every new city; a forced reset

After months of travel through Southeast Asia, we landed in Hanoi and stepped into a completely different pace of life. This is what a forced reset looks like, and how full-time travel really feels behind the scenes.

365 Days of Full-Time Travel; How It All Started

In 2012, we were in Madrid for our first time, on our first BIG holiday together, sitting on our tiny balcony overlooking Plaza Mayor, right in the middle of all the chaos. If you have ever been to Madrid, it is likely you have walked through this famous plaza. The energy, the buzz, the vendors yelling, it is something to experience. We had rented a little condo that was right in this plaza. This is where the dream of a different lifestyle was born. A seed was planted that evening as we sipped Spanish wine and watched the show from our balcony with so much enjoyment and wonder. Looking back, I see now that we fell in love with this dream at that moment.

We’re exploring the world at a pace that works for us, by settling in and not just checking places off a list.

In a space that often feels like extremes, either budget backpacking or over-the-top luxury, we’ve found ourselves somewhere in the middle. Comfort travel, where we can enjoy where we are, take care of ourselves, and still experience everything around us. It’s less about chasing destinations and more about creating a way of living that feels good, wherever we are.

We’ve long said that the best food in the world is from Italy… then we went to Thailand… now we’re not so sure. Thai food is so flavourful and delicious, we wanted to learn how to make some of it and bring the skills with us
Like most of out temple visits, this one was unplanned. We wandered into Wat Chen Lin and were surprised to find it built around the water with bamboo bridges and places to buy fish food for the swimming gangs for catfish. We fed the fish, snapped so
More than Thai food in Thailand. We had some of the best sushi, Chinese hot pot, Burmese food and Japanese tea while we were in this country. We got to try a ton of new things in 2 short months. Massive Thai food post still to come… #thevir
Something new around every corner. Sometimes it’s a cute cafe. Sometimes it’s the busiest market you’ve ever seen. Sometimes is a little gold dragon temple…
Chiang Mai seemed to have a temple on every street corner. This was the first one we happened to wander into, and it was a great intro. It was small, decorated, not crowded at all and we got to enjoy some chanting. Lisa could have stayed here all eve
Nobu Bangkok was a highlight of our time in the city. We knew we wanted to have a rooftop experience while we were here and this was an option that exceeded our expectations. An unbeatable city view, bubbly wine and amazing food, what more could we a
The temperature in Bangkok was a welcome change for us coming straight from Canada. The rooftop pool in our building became a much-needed escape when the heat of the day got to be too much. #rooftoppool #bangkokskyline #thevirtualvoyagers
Wat Arun was the only temple we knew about going into Bangkok and while it was impressive, it was also pretty chaotic. This was definitely Instagram paradise with professional photo shoots going on every direction. Sometimes you could barely walk wit
The malls of Bangkok quite impressive. We definitely don’t have anything like this back in Canada. ICONSIAM probably stands out as the most spectacular. While we didn’t do a ton of shopping. They were a nice break from the heat and had a
Our first Muay Thai fight night! We wanted it to be a good one so we booked tickets at Rajadamnern Stadium. The experience did not disappoint. We weren’t exactly sure what we were getting into but this whole operation was very professional and
999 days of full time travel is wild… and wild has definitely been the theme lately. We haven’t kept track of how many countries or cities or flights we’ve done. What does stand out is how great we feel, how happy we are and how ex
The reclining Buddha at Wat Pho Temple was probably the most impressive part of our temple hopping day. We knew it was big from the photos, but seeing it in person was something else. Definitely a must-visit attraction. Don’t miss the toes. 🦶?
