I used to really enjoy this podcast however lately it seems like every episode is how amazing this lifestyle is. I understand that they are loving it and while I enjoy listening to their travels, this mother and grandmother can’t do anymore than two weeks away from her family - yes I have tried!
This is such an enjoyable podcast to listen to. I love hearing a husband and wife team doing it so well… Digital nomad living, that is. They are inspiring my partner and I, who already had the wheels in motion, to really kick it up a notch and make it happen sooner rather than later. I look forward to every new episode!
I lost my dad, then my job. But finding this podcast was the impetus I needed to examine my career choices and move from my comfortable bubble. Thanks, Jon & Karen!
I stumbled upon a recommendation for this podcast in a worldschooling Facebook group and have thoroughly enjoyed listening to each and every episode. They answered so many of my questions about traveling in South America and as we get ready to make our own leap, they made it feel doable and provided us with ongoing inspiration.
You guys are great! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Great pace, information and humor. I’m soaking it all in! It is our dream to be out there in a little less than 4 years and we are very much looking forward to it. We are gathering lots of information and doing yearly trips to different places to have an idea of what is out there and build a bit of an itinerary.
Stay healthy, funny and awesome and hopefully moving soon.
I’ll keep on listening and recommending you.
Hasta luego a... more

Your creative talent as writers comes across in your passionate and colorful verbal descriptions of the people and places you have traveled . So happy that you are living out one of your dreams - looking forward to hearing more podcasts. ... more
When it comes to actual living south of the border, Karen and Jon have "been there and are doing that"!
Such a great podcast to learn continual do’s and don’ts about traveling abroad.
Jon and Karen have a great dynamic that plays well into making this an enjoyable podcast to listen to regardless of how much or little you've travelled. They've embarked on something so many of us fantasize about and do a great job at showing what went into making it a reality and where their adventures have led them. Look forward to continuing to listen!
What an Adventure this is, I’m so jealous. I love hearing about the unique experiences in each location. I hope you two keep going forever!
Love listening to these two! So full of interesting stories and great tips. Makes me want to pack a bag and join them!
This podcast is excellent. Jon Sumple and his whole team are amazing.
