This episode is going to be all about education, kids, and how to live a life of freedom. We are going to work through the five different options you have for educating your children while living a nomadic lifestyle. There are so many options for schooling your children today that there is really no reason that education should stop your family from becoming location independent. We will likely be diving into each of these methods a little more in future episodes, but this is a great introductory episode for parents who are getting ready to make the leap into location independence.
