32 Lessons Learned From Five Years of Travel



Click here to download this episode.

Being on the road is a learning experience.

You learn about yourself, about the world, and about your partner in potentially illegal border crossings.

For the past five years Heather and I have been location independent, and for a while, completely nomadic and we’ve had quite a few mishaps along the way.

We managed to narrow the list down to 32 lessons to share, though we could probably think of hundreds! Really, you should have seen the initial list.

Being Couplepreneurs with The Great Anomaly

Ep-224

Travel more, work less.

Wait, that sounds familiar…

Geneviève and Nick, co-founders of The Great Anomaly join Heather and I to talk about something that is very important to both of us.

Coupleprenuership.

Yes, it is a word (even if they made it up).

Gen and Nick work together as a couple on several businesses and have learned a lot about how to do so over the past several years. We chat about what to do when business personalities don’t match up, even if your romantic ones do, how to balance work and travel, and how structure actually creates freedom. Even though that last one doesn’t sound like it makes any sense.

Make sure to check out Living Unconventionally podcast as well if you’re interested in more tips on working together as a couple!
