The Best Life Awaits - Practical Slow Living
Dan & Vung prove life gets better when you choose to do it yourself — we grow, cook, fix, move, and explore. we know exactly what goes into our food, our bodies, our home, and our adventures… saving money, staying healthy, and staying independent.
Stable. Capable. Free.
We wanted to master the life we were building - on our own terms, at our own pace. We became more self sufficient, more conscious of our food, health, activities and life choices. We started a Slow Living life without even knowing it.
The Best Life Awaits is our way of showing what we do and how do it.
Like many families, we were busy. Busy schedules, busy goals, busy everything. As a mixed-race couple raising a family, we realized the moments that mattered most were the simple, intentional ones: family, cooking together, planting in the garden, walking or taking a hike, laughing at our cultural differences, exploring new places, or simply reading.
We started making deliberate decisions that put us in control. We embraced Self-Sufficiency and saving money through Grow It and Fix It. We know exactly what goes into our food through Cook It. We committed to Healthy Living through Move It and Explore It so we stay strong and independent.
This is a purpose driven life in the making — the one we choose ourself. We grow, cook, fix, move, and explore. We know exactly what goes into our food, our bodies, our home, and our adventures.
