Aloha from Honolulu. I realize it’s been almost 8 months since my last post. Because we’ve been travelling almost entirely in the US with no progress made to return to international travel, I haven’t felt there have been any challenges to detail, knowledge to impart or inspiration to detail our journey. Since our last post…
anyroadtoeverywhere.com has only been “active” since August, so it might not seem like the long, hard road to location independence, but we’ve been scheming and dreaming for a little over a year and once we really set our mind to it, we’ve accomplished a lot in a short time. But it doesn’t seem like a…
Location independence isn’t a vacation, it’s a lifestyle… we use this to remind others as much as ourselves. Living perpetually on the road may seem from the outside to be one long sight-seeing excursion, and while the arrangement does have movement and sight-seeing built into it, there will necessarily be a lot of homemade meals…

First and most important, except in emergencies you should never, ever use a credit card…
Your budget is absolutely the most important consideration when you’re planning to become location independent – excepting the desire and freedom to do so. I would highly recommend writing up your budget and working toward that being your magic number where you would feel confident that you won’t need to call in favors to return…
Travelling the world is our ultimate goal, not location independence. Although it’s been a whirlwind month having achieved a job that I can do from anywhere, I started looking into which were the most logical roads to get us there, and I stumbled upon remoteyear.com. It sounded exciting: pay them $24k for the flights, for…
Whatever you are pursuing, keep your eyes open for possibilities because you never know what might be right in front of you if you get a little creative. Many businesses have historically had remote roles, like sales people, auditors, consultants. Those jobs were more prevalent than is obvious, but now it’s becoming more popular. With…
