The Nomad Together Podcast | Location Independent Families & Digital Nomad Families

NomadTogether.com/Tupy On this week's episode, you'll be hearing from Michelle Tupy of AndOffWeWent.com and MichelleTupy.com. Michelle and her husband have been living a nomadic lifestyle since they were married twelve years ago. Over those twelve years, they have brought two lovely children into the world, and they have not stayed in one place for more than a year. It's rare that we get to talk to a family with multiple children who has been doing this for so long, so we are very excited to share their story. NomadTogether.com/Tupy  

NomadTogether.com/FamilyOnBikes On today's episode, we're speaking with Nancy Vogel from Family on Bikes. Nancy started traveling 30 years ago as a peaceful volunteer in Honduras. Since then, she has backpacked around South America, spent years teaching on the Navajo Nation, as well as several stints in Ethiopia, Taiwan and Malaysia. Nancy is best known for her 4 years of travel on bicycle with her husband and their twin sons, where they cycled as a family from Alaska to Argentina, pedaling over 27,000 miles. Today the Vogels are living in Idaho and their boys are getting ready to head off to college. Listen in to hear how Nancy reflect on their nomadic days and talks about what life is like after this kind of traveling winds down. NomadTogether.com/FamilyOnBikes

NomadTogether.com/Affiliates On this week's episode, we're speaking with Kimberly and Joe of Young Fulltimers. Kimberly and Joe began their journey the day after they were married, and they soon found out that it was harder to earn money on the road than they anticipated. One of the major ways that digital nomads earn money is through affiliate marketing, travel blogging and the writing industry in general. You'll hear Kimberly and Joe talk all about the challenges of affiliate marketing and why it might not be right for everyone. NomadTogether.com/Affiliates

NomadTogether.com/Unschooling Today's episode is going to be a little bit out of the ordinary. On this week's show, you're going to hear Becky speak with her good friend Cassandra Vore about a topic that both of them are very passionate about: radical unschooling. This a topic that can generate a lot of fear and confusion, so we're hoping that this episode will clear a lot of things up for parents who are exploring these alternative schooling methods and teach those of you out there that are considering this that you can do things differently.

NomadTogether.com/CrazyFamily Today's episode features an interview with a really crazy family. No, really. Craig and Bryanna Royal run a website called CrazyFamilyAdventure.com. Craig and Bryanna are parents to 4 young kids and 2 big dogs who sold their home and most of their possessions to travel full-time in an RV. On this week's episode, you'll hear the Royals talk all about what it means to live a "crazy family lifestyle". They'll also discuss freedom and flexibility, and how those two things are not necessarily one and the same. NomadTogether.com/CrazyFamily

NomadTogether.com/Pearce On this week's podcast we are speaking with Brandon Pearce of PearceOnEarth.com. We affectionately refer to Brandon as the "Sage" of location independent families. If you only listen to one interview on this podcast, this should be the one. Brandon has all kinds of practical advice on what it takes to become a location independent family, and how to truly cultivate happiness that lasts. NomadTogether.com/Pearce

NomadTogether.com/VisaRun After a short break, we have returned with a genuinely amazing story. What you are about to hear is not a dramatization. There were real people and real things that got hurt in the making of this podcast episode. This is the story about our most recent visa run to Guatemala; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Fair warning: most of it was very ugly. NomadTogether.com/VisaRun

NomadTogether.com/StayAtHomeDad On today's show, we are speaking with Doug Duvall. We met Doug and his wife Marcy while we were camping in La Paz, Mexico and we thought they had one of the most unique location-independent situations we have encountered yet. Doug is a stay-at-home-dad, while Marcy is the main breadwinner in the family. The Duvall's story is proof that you don't need to follow the traditional western script in order to be a successful location-independent family. NomadTogether.com/StayAtHomeDad

NomadTogether.com/GapYear On today's podcast, you're going to be hearing from Mike Cooney of CooneyWorldAdventures.com. Six years ago, Mike and his wife Catrell sold nearly everything they owned to take their three teenage sons on an adventure around the world. They wanted their sons to see the world and have a hands-on immersion education before heading off to college. This idea of taking a "Gap Year" to travel before beginning higher education isn't new, but the Cooneys decision to do so as a family is a very unique and exciting way to do it.

NomadTogether.com/Blend This week's episode is a little different for us, as we are going to be sharing two different interviews with digital nomads who have taken outside the box approaches to making money and living a nomadic lifestyle. First, you'll be hearing from Reinder de Vries and his partner Geerjte, who will talk about their website LearnAppMaking.com, a resource for people who are aspiring to develop their own apps (which can be a great source of location-independent income). After that, you will hear from Marcela Fernandez, who will be talking about how she is using the techniques she has learned while operating her educational tour service, BeOnBoard.org to build a learning community for nomadic families.  NomadTogether.com/Blend
