The majority of folks immediately assume that it's out of reach even though it isn't. It was scary at first, not knowing exactly what we were getting ourselves into. But then, the excitement and desire just grew and grew. Now, it's hard to imagine NOT traveling at least every month or two. - Jon Dan, you are so right!

While we do have two older boys busy with their own lives (working and attending college) our 6-year-old is a self-starter in reading, writing, and a multitude of other subjects. I also spend a lot of time listening to him and his 3-year-old brother, explaining things, and helping them build math skills. Plus, our Leapfrog Leapster and Brainquest flashcards have been amazing teachers too. Both children continue to learn about culture, climate and travel and due to our recent trek through Central America, there has been a lot of Spanish spoken in the past four months. Plus they make friends easily and are becoming very strong swimmers. We couldn't be happier with their progress! Take a look at our most recent ezine which includes some insight and links to all of our products and free audio courses: http://www.traveliving.info/ezine/090831.html Abundant Travels, - Jon & Kathryn (The Portable Lifestyle™) Hi Phil,

We do sell products (books, courses, and audio programs), but they are indeed a transference of ideas and so they can easily be made into electronic products and delivered via the Internet. However, we still ship all of the physical CD's and printed material. Aside from Kathryn's book which is distributed worldwide, we maintain a presence in the States where a part-time employee fulfills the necessary orders across the Globe. The stock doesn't take up too much space and digital files are becoming more and more popular these days so it just gets easier and easier for us. If the products you sell are not your own, you can even set-up drop shipping to avoid ever needing an inventory. -Jon of The Portable Lifestyle Hi MSFI and Others,

Not that it's a bad thing, we can't have everyone jumping on this bandwagon but damn you can have an awesome lifestyle if you do.

I also take it that you sell an idea more than a product. So if you were selling a product how would you be able to do that? Other than those questions I found this post exciting and something that I could see myself liking to do. So even though you travel your home office really doesn’t.

I was originally trying to figure out how to be portable and mobile, like a big up front decision, but then I think it's better to test chunks at a time. Just like mini-retirements, do mini-mobile adventures. Testing is a great way to do it incrementally and find what you really enjoy as well as deal with the surprises you didn't expect (sort of like Stumbling on Happiness). I know several folks first-hand that did the 'take a year off" thing to see the world or travel cross country and it always seems to be the highlight of their life.
