We look forward to integrating them into our location independent living at some point. However, if one wants to live a mobile lifestyle or live much more affordably - you don't have to leave your own country to do so. Currently, we're living for far less than a quarter the cost of our previous stationary lives, without ever having to depart our own country and established communities of friends & family. We've been able to secure great work opportunities, keep our existing clients and experience a life of full time mobility. How? By getting an off-grid capable home on wheels that affords us a life rich in experience for little cost. The two of us spent a combined $14k in 2009 for our lifestyle (which includes fuel for our 13k miles of travel, camping fees, auto/rv/health insurance, mobile internet, etc.) Considering becoming a nomad doesn't have to be a 'permanent fixed home' vs 'conquer the world' proposition.

But the 3rd world is not the only place that one can live cheaply & there are drawbacks as well. We're a digital nomad family that has been traveling on 4 continents, 32 countries & over 175,000 miles (most overland) since 2006. Our total living/traveling costs for all 3 of us, has just been 25K a year or 23 dollars per day per person! We've been in mostly "expensive" Europe so far & have lived better & cheaper than friends did in SE Asia. We'll be wintering next winter in Asia and will have to compare, but can already attest that it's really easy to live large on little ANY where if one picks more rural areas and lives like a native. ;) Great ideas!
