Ever dream of getting away from it? Learn how you can prepare for your own adventure as Mike shares how he and his wife took their family on an RV trip across the Americas!
Planning a Family Adventure
Have you ever imagined taking a trip together? No, not a one-week vacation or a cruise to the Caribbean. I'm talking about leaving your job, home, and exploring some part of the world for awhile.
What usually happens though is your dream interrupted by the questions like,
- How would we pay for this?
- Would we be able to find a job after we returned?
- Could we sell your house?
- If you have kids, how would they deal with things?
They're normal questions and concerns to have. I'd take it as a sign that you're someone who thinks things through. But wouldn't be fun to shake up things a little?
Mike is on the show to help you go from dream to reality by sharing his story and take on things. He and his wife are wrapping a trip they took as a family five through the Americas.
In this episode we look into:
- how they prepare their finances and themselves for their RV trip
- dealing with difficulties on the road
- how you can start building some income on the side for your own adventure
Hope you enjoy!
