About

This is the Great Family Escape.

It's a guide I started making when my wife and I first had the idea of traveling around the world with our kids. We wanted to go from having:

routines, debt, daycare, consumption, fear, and doubt

to having

location independence, zero debt, simplicity, courage, freedom, and much more time with our kids

And of course, we wanted create a lifestyle that allowed us to travel whenever we wanted.

About Our Travel Plans

Well, for now we travel when we can, but one day we will start traveling the world long-term as a family. It's something my wife and I have always wanted to do, and so we're going to do it. We believe it will be a great experience for our kids as well, and you can READ ABOUT THAT HERE.

We are adventurous travelers. We have some of the most obscure destinations in the world on our travel list, and we're really looking forward to being able to pay them a visit and share our experiences with you.

Many people often wonder how we plan on paying for our travels. We're not rich, but for the past few years we have worked hard to simplify our lifestyle and pay off our debt. We'll now be able to travel for a few years and learn how to sustain our lifestyle as we go.
