We’re April and Moe.
We’re moving to Albania and documenting slow travel, life abroad, and what it looks like to start over after 40.

Passports & Plans is where we share the real behind the scenes of moving abroad, exploring Europe, cruising smarter, and building a more intentional life one plan at a time.

The Pivot

After a major life shift, we stopped waiting for the perfect time and started building a life that actually feels like ours. What started as research into travel, freedom, and living differently turned into a bigger decision: we’re moving abroad.

We’re a 40+ couple figuring this out in real time. That means planning, downsizing, tough decisions, logistics, excitement, nerves, and a lot of learning as we go. Passports & Plans is where we document that journey honestly, not as polished experts with crazy editing skills, but as real people building a new chapter on purpose.
