New. The Freedom Finder: twelve questions, then an honest answer on whether you can go.
Worldschool, your way.
What it costs, and how you pay for it. Whether you are still working out if you can go, or already out here and working out how to stay out.
Thirty countries, fifty house sits, and four businesses built from the front seat of a motorhome.
Four businesses, three of them sold in one go at 40.
We sold the house in 2017, bought a motorhome for about $15,500 and left with no income arriving at all. We lived on savings for a year, which is rarely in the reel. Then thirty countries, fifty house sits, free camping the length of Europe, and two boys who will talk to anybody.
We live in Mauritius now, in a villa with a pool, and I know how that reads from the outside. The month costs about $5,000 to run and I am not consistently hitting it. That is why what I write about money has real numbers in it instead of encouragement.
Have a nose around, Jennifer
Two guides that will actually tell you the number.

Could Your Income Travel?

“We’d go tomorrow if I could work out the money.”

The Portable Business Blueprint
Turning what you already know, do or earn into work that pays while the family keeps moving.
Plenty of work is online and still nails you to a timezone.
Sixty hours of calls is sixty hours of calls whether you take them in Bali or in Basingstoke. People move the family somewhere lovely, keep the job, and find they have bought the same week they had before with a better view.
So the first question is not what business should I start. It is this one: given what you already know, do and earn, what is the smartest way to build income that can travel with your family.
Once a month I publish what we actually made.
The real figure, whether it covered the five thousand, what brought it in and what did not work. Starting again in public, with the number at the top rather than buried at the bottom.
We did not plan it. We went a month at a time. · © Jennifer Constant
