Financial Independence Update- February 2023

After being home in Virginia all of January, we were back on the road again in February. At the beginning of the month we left on a 2.5 week road trip down to Key West.

Financial Independence Update- January 2023

January was an awesome month. We spent a full month at home for the first time in almost two years which gave us an opportunity to get into more of a routine and get a lot of work done. Diet and exercise were our primary focus for the month, and Whitney and I both lost … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- January 2023

Financial Independence Update- December 2022

We finished up our trip around the world in December. The majority of the month was spent in American Samoa (where we visited our 60th national park) and New Zealand before making it back home just in time for Christmas.

Financial Independence Update- November 2022

We spent all of November traveling on our trip around the world. Although our most expensive long international trip, this one has been my favorite. I'll be writing about my total expenses once we get back home. I'm pretty sure I'll spend more in 9 weeks on this trip than in 5 months traveling around … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- November 2022

Financial Independence Update- October 2022

October was another really busy month for us. In terms of both traveling and business, 2022 has been our most busy year by far.

Financial Independence Update- August 2022

In August we finished up our travel contracts in Alaska, and, in the middle of the month, headed back to Virginia on another long road trip.

Financial Independence Update- July 2022

July was a very busy month for us. We worked two days per week at our travel contracts in Anchorage and used every day we weren't working to take trips to National Parks, go fishing, do hikes around the area, or work on our business. The business continues to gradually take up more and more … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- July 2022

Financial Independence Update- June 2022

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. June was an interesting month. On one hand, Whitney and I have been having the time of our lives in Alaska hiking, camping, and fishing in some of the most beautiful places we've ever seen. We've gone to several national parks in Alaska … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- June 2022

Financial Independence Update- May 2022

At the beginning of May, after a short time at home upon our return from Latin America, we headed out on our road trip from Virginia to Alaska for our travel PT contracts starting in the middle of the month.
