About us

We believe in intentional living, essential communication, and clarity—whether in leadership, business, or life itself. What started as an experiment in working remotely has evolved into a way of living and thinking that challenges conventional ideas about success, stability, and ‘home.’

​​

We don’t just talk about agility and adaptability; we live it. Selling almost everything we owned, we set out on a journey with just what we could carry—no space for ‘just in case.’ The goal wasn’t just to travel, but to explore how less can truly be more. We built a business that thrives on connection, clarity, and essential leadership, helping individuals and organisations cut through the noise and focus on what really matters.

​​

Today, through join the dots, 7 T-Shirts Each, and No Space For Just In Case, we help leaders, businesses, and individuals make smarter decisions, create impact, and design their lives and work with intention.

​​

This isn’t about minimalism—it’s about sufficiency and efficiency.

Q&A

1. You started living a Nomad Work Life in 2022. Why are you still doing this?
   Because it works. Because we love it. Because we’ve proven that living and working this way brings clarity, freedom, and deeper connection—not just for us, but for the people we work with. Every time we help a leader, a business, or a team remove what’s unnecessary and focus on what truly matters, we see the impact. That’s why we keep going.
    

2. Is this still an adventure?
   Absolutely. But adventure isn’t just about travel—it’s about seeing and learning new things, being curious, staying open to change, and designing a life with intention. The biggest adventure is in choosing how we live and work every day.
    

3. What have you learned since starting?
   More than we could have imagined. That home is not a place, but a feeling. That clarity comes from letting go of excess, whether it’s physical clutter, outdated business strategies, or unnecessary complexity. That when you remove ‘just in case,’ you make space for opportunity, growth, and satisfaction with our lives.
    

4. Are you Immigrating?
   No. We’ll continue to work for our SA based clients, all of which are happy with us remote working (thanks to Covid) We will continue to pay our taxes, keep in touch with friends and visit our children in SA.
    

5. How do you choose where to go?
   We go where connection, curiosity, and clarity take us. Some places call us back, others surprise us. It’s always a balance between work, time zones, and where we feel drawn to explore next.
   
   But let’s be real—traveling as digital nomads as South Africans on South African passports is not easy. Firstly the Rand is a weak currency and secondly, many countries don’t have SA on their e-visa lists, meaning we often have to jump through twice as many hoops as others. 🥹 It adds layers of logistics, but we make it work.
   
   When we started, we chose a country we already loved, with people and a culture that felt familiar. Kenya was a natural first stop—offering both comfort and a soft entry into what some might see as a tough lifestyle. A successful nomadic work life isn’t just about picking destinations at random; it requires fast connectivity, compatible time zones, and the ability to integrate into the local way of life.
   
   That’s why we lean toward South East Asia—it aligns better with South African working hours than the Americas, and Europe simply isn’t yet realistic whilst we still earn in Rands. Every choice is intentional, balancing adventure with practicality, always making sure we can keep doing what we love, from wherever we are.
    

6. Are you renting out your house?
   No, we’ve sold the house and all the contents except our camping chairs, some kitchenware and memorabilia. 
    

7. Do you miss having a home?
   As Paul Young sang way back in 1983 (yes, we’re that old), “Wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home.” And he wasn’t wrong. With the few things we carry, we make wherever we are work for us. Home isn’t about four walls—it’s about feeling settled in your choices, your work, and the people you share it with.
    

8. Being over 50, aren’t you too old for this lifestyle??
   Too old for what—curiosity? Adventure? Designing life on our own terms? If anything, being over 50 makes this lifestyle better. We’ve spent decades building skills, relationships, and a business that allows us to work from anywhere. We know what matters, what doesn’t, and how to make intentional choices.
   
   Besides, we’ve never seen an expiry date on agility, adaptability, or saying yes to what excites us. And if we ever did, we’d probably ignore it.
    

9. What’s the hardest thing you’ve had to do as a Digital Nomad?
   Without question—supporting our daughter, Page, through her colon cancer journey in 2024. Nothing else we’ve done, no challenge we’ve faced, compares. It reshaped our perspective on everything: time, energy, priorities, even what truly matters. 
   
   People assume the hardest part of this lifestyle is letting go of possessions, navigating uncertainty, or constantly adapting. But none of that is difficult when life throws something at you that makes everything else feel small.
   
   Through it all, No Space For Just In Case became more than a philosophy—it was survival. We learned to be present, to hold space, to carry only what was necessary (physically and emotionally), and to release what wasn’t. Because in the moments that really matter, clarity isn’t a choice—it’s a necessity.
    

10. What’s next?
    Continuing to share and refine No Space For Just In Case as a movement. Helping leaders and businesses simplify and amplify. Finding new ways to connect, collaborate, and create. And, of course, living each day with intention.
     

11. Why did you even start this way of living in the first place?
    Because why not?
    
    It didn’t start as some grand master plan—it started as a what if? What if we lived in different cities for a month at a time? What if we didn’t need a fixed home base? What if we carried less, lived more, and designed life on our own terms?
    
    The idea evolved over years of conversations, fueled by curiosity, the desire for freedom, and the realisation that home isn’t about a place—it’s about mindset, connection, and clarity. Then Covid proved what we already suspected: we didn’t need to be in one location to run our business successfully. The final push? Looking around at stuff we didn’t need, a routine we didn’t love, and the opportunity to rewrite our own rules.
    
    So we did. We sold almost everything, packed what mattered, and stepped into a life that’s about experiences over possessions, clarity over clutter, and intention over obligation. And we’re still here—because it works.
