<p>In this first episode, I am discussing with my husband Ron Thurston, the events that led to us leaving our big careers behind and leaving NYC to travel in an Airstream across the US.</p><p>It is a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. I hope this conversation will inspire you to find the coconuts you may be holding and maybe drop one or two along the way.</p>

Dropping the coconut on human connection

Drop The Coconut is a story about letting go.

It is a story about a little monkey who reaches out his palm to grab a coconut buried deep in the ground. Once he grabs it, his palm is too large to slide out of the hole, and out of greed, he becomes an easy target for his capturer Simply because he wouldn't let go. All we want to tell that little guy is - drop the coconut - you can be free.

My name is Roi Perets, and along with my husband, Ron Thurston
we are here to share our stories of learning to let go. After almost two decades of living in the Big Apple, we packed our belongings and traveled in an Airstream to discover this beautiful country.

In the 16 months of our travel, we saw the most captivating nature, and  as we met people in communities along the road, we learned that, at our core, "We are more alike than we are unlike." 

We hope that this story of self-discovery will inspire you to find the coconuts you are holding and drop one or two along the way with us.

Tune in and join the journey!
