EPoP Success: The Decision to Become Location Independent

Ep105

You asked for it, and you got it.

Today we start a new series of podcasts; EPoP success stories!

Tiffany and Chris have spent the last two years preparing the move to location independence so they could do something amazing.

They’re going on a year-long (working) honeymoon!

Today we chat about the steps in the decision to become location independent, from transitioning to freelancing full time (Chris) and just finding anything that would work with their plans (Tiffany).

They share a story of listeners, just like you, who made it work for them. Will you be next?

This is part one of a two-part interview. Join us again tomorrow where we chat a little bit more about the actual trip itself and some travel mishaps that made Tiffany shudder while recounting them!

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

Warren-and-Betsy-Talbot-PART-2


Yesterday Warren and Betsy shared amazing advice on starting your travel journey and finding a home base that you absolutely love.

Today we continue the trend of great advice and discuss a very important topic to me personally and I’m sure to a lot of you as well!

Relationships on the road.

Namely, making sure that you and your partner are on the same page, and happy during your travels. Because, as those of us who have traveled as part of a couple know, when you spend 24 hours a day with the same person in and out on top of the highs and lows of travel, tensions can rise quickly.

The advice that Warren and Betsy have to share on this topic is unbeatable for its wisdom and accuracy!

Do you and your partner use any of the tips that Warren and Betsy share? Different ones? Let me know how they work for you in the comments below!
