Now, we’re not complaining,
But sometimes there are aspects of location independence that aren’t so ideal.
It can be quite a roller coaster when you travel while you work. Lack of work triggers, travel issues, bad wifi, the list of things that can, and do, go wrong is endless.
And yet we keep coming back for more!
Today Jason joins me to talk about the not so glamorous side of being location independent and to reveal our new super-secret (until now) community made just for people who have or are looking for this type of lifestyle.
Despite all the things that could go wrong.

You may remember us mentioning our friend the U.S. Diplomat who managed to wrangle our laptop back from India’s customs officials in our latest Travel Mishaps episode.
That U.S. Diplomat is our good friend Nick Hersh, whom I have known for over 20 years from back when all we cared about was learning how to talk to girls and getting our merit badges.
Who knew he’d turn out to become the most traveled of my friends and a U.S. Diplomat? And so useful to boot?!
Today Nick joins us to talk about his experiences joining the Foreign Service and traveling the world as a U.S. Diplomat. He discusses some of the red tape involved in becoming a Diplomat, the different fields that lend themselves to the job, what types of benefits and vacation time one can expect as a Diplomat, and (our favorite) some of his greatest travel experiences & mishaps.
If you have any questions for Nick please feel free to leave them in the comments and we’ll pass them along!
Nick is joining me this week because you guys have e-mailed me to ask about other jobs that take you internationally but that aren’t really nomadic. If YOU have someone you think I should interview or a path you’d like us to pursue please e-mail Trav@ExtraPackofPeanuts.com and I’ll do my best!

Learn to navigate with your own compass.
Take the time to really learn yourself and figure out WHY you like to do things, and what those things are.
Then take action.
Byron achieves his location independence by living out of his van. He believes that each of us has the potential to be everything we want to be. If only we knew what that was.
Today we chat about the practicalities of living out of a van, Burning Man, and giving yourself the space to figure things out.
Byron leaves us with fantastic advice and resources and presents a case that will have you checking your own compass more frequently!

A battle for the ages.

From the food, the weather, and the traffic we debate all the factors that might make someone want to live on either side of the country.
Let us know why we were right (or wrong) and let us know why where YOU live is the best part of the country! We did after all leave out whole regions!
