“Retirement”, Relationships & Buying a Home in Another Country with Warren & Betsy Talbot. Part I

Would you rather eat Thai food tonight, or go eat food in Thailand?

After seeing some of their friends having health issues in their 30’s Warren and Betsy Talbot sat down to a serious conversation to decide what they wanted their life to be like.

The next day they started Married with Luggage and laid out a budget.

And two years later they set out on around the world trip which has turned them to full-time travelers.

In this portion of our interview, Warren and Betsy chat about their decision to become nomadic, getting out on the road, and how, 4 years later, they bought a house in Spain to function as their home base.

With great advice that I know I’ll be following soon, this is an interview for people on all stages of their journey. From those considering the lifestyle to those who have been on the road for a while, there is something here for everyone!

Join us tomorrow for part II of this interview, where we talk more about the care and feeding of a relationship on the road and some money-saving tips & tricks.
