Off-Season & Travel
The off-season is not downtime. It’s the whole point.
The off-season splits into two different modes. October and November I travel — Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, wherever pulls me that year. Exploring, moving, seeing new places. Then January through March I land in Sayulita, Mexico and do the opposite: slow down, surf every morning, cook my own food, spend almost nothing, and let my nervous system recover from six months of bartending. One is adventure mode. The other is reset mode. Both are essential and both are funded by working hard enough in the summer that I can actually afford to disappear for five months a year.
This is where I write about the off-season: what it costs, what it looks like day to day, how I get there, and what it does for me that six months of grinding can’t.
