(And Now We're Leaving)Kari and Kelly are finally getting to their European leg of Workationing – and they're kicking it off in Prague (or actually, the hellish airport in Frankfurt, Germany). After missing their connecting flight and getting to spend an extra 8 hours touring the airport lounges in Frankfurt, the ladies arrive at their Airbnb in Prague, Czech Republic. As usual, things don't go to plan. Due to "hot water issues" at the Airbnb they'd originally rented, they find themselves staying in the projects outside of the city. The bathroom is a real danger zone, and the Airbnb host keeps delaying wh...

WorkationingEp 41 – Leaving Las Vegas and the Liberty MovementKelly and Kari have arrived in Prague, and now that they've had some time to reflect on their experiences at FreedomFest (and the experience of others – they received dozens of messages from other women in libertarianism outlining similar experiences with misogyny). Ultimately, Kari decides that she can no longer be part of a movement that tolerates disrespecting women to such an extensive degree. After 15 years in the liberty movement, it seems like a big decision – but it's definitely time to move on. To follow along in real time, see video/pics of the process, get Work...

WorkationingEp 40 – What Happens at FreedomFest in Vegas (Doesn't Stay in Vegas)Kari and Kelly are in Las Vegas for the FreedomFest conference, which apparently draws quite the male chauvinist crowd. The ladies detail their experiences at the conference – both Kari and Kelly were approached by different men at the conference, who asked the ladies to prostitute themselves. One man is the president of a libertarian think tank (he offered to fly Kelly to exotic locations in exchange for sex), the other is a fairly large donor (he asked Kari if she'd like to be his escort for the night). This was a first for both Kari and Kelly, an...

WorkationingEp 39 – Desert Road Trip to Bury our Dear Friend Dom (Bucket list #8-9)Kari and Kelly are back from hiatus and coming in hot from the Paris hotel and resort in Las Vegas – they're in town for FreedomFest, a libertarian conference. In this episode, the ladies talk about about two bucket list items they crossed off on the way there: road tripping from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and burying their dear friend Dom in the desert. The ladies rent a fancy car, and inspired by the movie Fandango (starring THE Kevin Costner), they get a shovel and start digging a hole in the Mojave Desert to put Dom in. Th...

The ladies have received many emails about their weight loss journey, and in this episode they talk about how they managed to lose the weight equivalent of a chubby fifth grader. Kelly's about to get a full feature in Women's Health for her efforts! Traveling the world while working as digital nomads, you'd think it would be harder to lose weight than at ho...

WorkationingEp 37 – Workationing's 6-month Recap and ReflectionIt's been a year since Kari and Kelly decided to embark on the adventure that became Workationing, and six months since they've been on the road. It's been quite a trip so far, and now that the ladies have been "out here" on the road for a while, they're wondering why it took so long to make the jump. In the beginning, it seemed like all of the barriers to entry into this digital nomad travel lifestyle were insurmountable. However, as the ladies learned, once you take the first step and get some momentum it b...

WorkationingEp 36 – Where We Went Wrong: The Acapulco EditionKari and Kelly have successfully escaped from Acapulco, and are in San Diego, California breathing the sweet air of American freedom. They left a few days earlier than planned, but it wasn't soon enough. Several mistakes were made in the planning process of this leg of the Workationing adventure – chiefly, the ladies never should've landed in Acapulco in the first place. Once again, decision fatigue set in and led the Gringas somewhere weird – and unfortunately, that wasn't the only error they made. When you've been sick for two weeks straight, maybe it's time to shift loca...

WorkationingEp 35 – Dear God, Get Us Out of Here!The ladies HATE Acapulco, and can't wait to get out. June was the deadliest month in Acapulco's history, with 2,234 murders – it's very murdery out here, and the Gringas are ready to leave. Aside from all the killing that goes on courtesy of the cartel activity in the area, there are other problems. Gabriela the Airbnb host has turned into a Code Red stalker, and has done everything from send a "real estate agent" in to take pics of the house (pre housekeeping service) to text message Kelly every goddamn day. The ladies want to escape Gabriela almost as...

The ladies talk about some of the cartel activity that occurs in the Pearl of the Pacific, including: assassinations via jet ski, multiple heads on pikes outside of government buildings and shooting tourists in the streets, among many other horrific event...

To escape from their Airbnb compound for a couple of days, they decided to hit up the local hotspot all of the cab drivers keep telling them about: The Los Flamingos Resort, which was once owned by John Wayne. The entire hotel is pink, kitschy and everything Kari's ever dreamed of in a throwback resort. Formerly referred to as Hollywood Gang Hideaway (from 1950-1984), the resort – and in particular, Casa Tarzan, the standalone round house on the property – was frequented by t...

How'd they find this place? It starts with Kiwi.com, the Flo Rida music video for Whistle and a $177 one-way flight – and ends with some killer views and regrets. Acapulco is hot AF, and the sweat situation is making it a real challenge to stay hydrated. Kari got sick almost immediately upon arrival, and a stranger broke into the apartment at 9am...just in time to see Kelly with no...

WorkationingHarsh Truths from Your GringasThis one is mostly for the ladies, but guys, there's lots for you to learn here, too. On this episode Kari and Kelly are talking about some of the harsh truths that they've come across while doing this whole intentional living thing. One of the harshest of these truths is that what you look like actually does matter — and not just in some abstract way. It actually affects every part of your life from how you are perceived by others (do they think you are likeable, trustworthy, and competent?) to how much you make in your lifetime (at...

In this episode, the ladies talk about their histories with cryptocurrencies and the insane amount of regret they – and other people they know – have about not buying in soon enough (or not hodling on long enough). Don't know what hodl means? No prob, Kelly's got you covered with a dramatic reading of the HODL forum post that went viral.

One of these habits is clocking 10,000 steps on their FitBits each day, which leaves a lot of time for talking. Specifically, talking about escaping. The Escape Room activity during Kelly's birthday got the ladies thinking about ways in which they've been trapped, and ways they see their friends getting trapped in situations that prevent them from being happy, accomplishing goals and realizing their full potential. Living intentionally isn't easy, but it's worth working through that process. ...

Plus, Jock is in town – the Gringas first met him in Medellin, and he randomly happens to be staying in Montreal for business.

The Gringas are thoroughly enjoying dieting delicacies like raw cauliflower, vitamin gummies and all the eggs they can handle. Kelly can't stop lunging everywhere, and Kari plans to ride her burpee downtown. The best news about eating so much in Medellín, Colombia is that now they...

Kelly and Kari give tips on how to avoid ending up in a filing cabinet full of sex tourists. The ladies also talk about confirmation bias in research, and reiterate the importance of checking the byline on travel articles. Also, you might want to make sure you understand the exchange rate before you start spending foreign cash.

The Gringas start off by explaining the constant undertone of misogyny that taints the local flavor of Medellín, then get into the killer style (shoutout to the return of 90s body suits!). There are ancient trees growing in the center of gorgeous shopping malls, circus-level entertainment at stoplights and truly amazing food at incredible prices relative to the US.

Medellín, Colombia is on a whole different level than Puerto Rico, and the ladies are learning this lesson the hard way. The way the women are treated – and treat each other – in Medellín is unlike anything The Gringas are used to.
