    ABOUT US.
    We’re the Lockwoods: a family with 3 kids, 5 careers, and endless passion for adventure. Two years ago, we decided it was time for Phil's ad agency to abandon the in-person, 5-day workweek. So they 86’d the office and work hours, allowing our own family to start traveling almost constantly. We now work, school, and explore in a different place every week-from our own mountain and beach homes to exotic villas, resorts, and yachts around the world. As we experience and support diverse cultures, we hope to inspire more families to design a life of freedom and adventure.
    Because there’s a new American Dream. It’s one that’s void of templated expectations, templated career paths, templated education, templated families, templated homes, and templated lives. Freedom is no longer an American tagline-it’s just the new, global way of life.
    Every day that you spend doing something that doesn’t fulfill you to your core, you’re living your life on pause. You’re deferring genuine family time with no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow or a someday. Some people follow that mentality their entire lives. We’ve chosen to never live that way again.
    We appreciate you following our journey. The more our channel grows, the more time we can spend traveling to more locations, contributing to these cultures, highlighting local businesses, and sharing inspiring stories from these communities. So please consider liking, commenting, and subscribing so that you can stick with us for the long haul.

    I Love that the whole family is traveling together and enjoying all that yummy food, drinks and all the historic sites. If you get a chance you must visit Fajardo and definitely go to the Bio-bay…that will blow your mind and the kids will love it. Also, try Toro Verde zip lines in the town of Orocovis. So much to see and do in that little gem of an island. Thank you for sharing your video.👍👍👍👍

    Regarding the humidity, try some looser shirts in linen. Think Hawaiian shirts, but in more solid or subtle patterns. They can be worn not tucked as you wander around and then if necessary tucked in with a belt if need elevate your look up to business casual.
    Also, start using cooling neck wraps, they are a total game changer and they can be rehydrated throughout the day.
    If you need to enter somewhere such as a nice restaurant you can put the neck wrap in a ziplock bag and into your day pack. Survival mode to Sophistication in a just a second.

      @@AlwaysBeChanging Instead of the big blue ones that are everywhere and stand out like a sore thumb. The more stylish ones can be found on etsy, though REI has a couple of options.
      We usually stick with tan, black or navy just to blend in with outfits. When you get back to your hotel/cruise ship at night just stick in your refrigerator for the night. Also at Ulta Cosmetics. they sell chafing products ..
      For women …mega babe and for men.. mega man are in stick form are total game changers and easier to pack than the powder options.
      Though if you do want to pack powder, in the cosmetic section at any CVS, Target pick up some cheap makeup replacement powder puffs, pour the powder on that then apply in the raw areas. This prevents wasting the powder and messes. Enjoy your Travels!

    What you ate at El Jibarito IS NOT A TAMALE, THAT IS A PASTEL. Tamales are Mexican and made with corn in a corn leaf. Our pastel is made out of cassava, taro root and/or green banana like the one you ate, wrapped in banana leaves. They are both delicious but made with totally different ingredients and from totally different countries.
