Click here to download this episode.

If you travel when you’re younger you’re sure to have heard it before.

Oh, good to get it out of your system before you have kids!

Like the travel bug is one that goes away once you have a baby. Silly people.

Derek Loudermilk has spent the last several years traveling the globe while building his location independent business. Recently, he’s just been blessed with a newborn son.

And they’re back on the road.

Derek joins me today to talk about how he became location independent and how having his son has changed his travel habits.

How many times have you heard to get the travel out of your system? Let me know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

4 Years Traveling, Living, and Working Anywhere in the World

Ep-230

We’ve spent the last 4 years traveling around the world and working.

FOUR years!

I can hardly believe it.

It’s been a learning experience and today Heather and I are here to share our 27 lessons learned along the journey. Some came easy, some came hard, and some we’re still working on, but if even one of them resonates then they were lessons well learned!

One of our goals here at EPoP is to help people travel more while spending less. Aside from travel hacking, working for ourselves has been the key to getting the freedom we needed to travel the world.

4 Choices That Landed Us at The Edge of The Grand Canyon

Ep-196

The Grand Canyon is a sight to behold.

One so great that Heather’s jaw actually dropped when she saw it for the first time.

And today’s podcast is recorded from its very edge!

Situated on a cliff on the outside of the Grand Canyon we decided to record a podcast about all the decisions we made that lead us to this moment.

Our hope is that you can take the lessons of these decisions and apply them to your own travel and hopefully find yourself somewhere just as amazing!

We also want to thank YOU for making these moments possible!

Turning Passion into Profit with Charlie Grosso

Ep-95---Charlie-Grosso

When we think of location independence we almost never consider running a brick and mortar business from anywhere in the world.

It is called location independence after all.

Charlie Grosso didn’t let that stop her.

Though Charlie travels the world participating in crazy adventures such as the Mongol Rally and Rickshaw run while earning part of her income as a travel writer and consultant, she also owns a business in New York City.

An art gallery to be exact.

Because honestly, why should the type of lifestyle you want to lead interfere with your passions?

Today Charlie chats with us about freedom, security, adventures, and location independence from the viewpoint of someone who wears a lot of hats. Owning a business isn’t easy, no matter where you live, so why not travel?

This is Part I of a two-part interview.
