The couple had spent a few months out on the water off the shores of Thailand on a seastead living free by example. Luckily, they were ashore at a festival when they found out that their seastead was declared a threat to national security. This was followed by the couple being slapped with a death penalty. Luckily, the couple got away and are now working on setting up camp in Panama.

In this video, Chad and Nadia talk about their story, the craziness of what happened to them in Thailand and what their message is to others contemplating seasteading.
