Show Notes
Mr. & Mrs. Nomad Numbers enjoyed 13-year careers at major tech companies in Silicon Valley. Then at age 36 and 37, they realized they'd become financially independent, quit corporate America and started traveling the world.
They believe life should be lived to its fullest potential. Their blog, nomadnumbers.com, was created to share their nomadic journey of slow travel and show that the cost of traveling the world can be much cheaper than staying at home. [Sounds nuts, but can confirm.]
