They will be digging into some deeper concepts on how to facilitate worldschooling with teens. For those of you who don't have teenagers yet, don't fret. Lainie's message teaches us about how worldschooling can apply to children of all ages.

So many people wonder how location-independent lifestyles affect our kids. On this week's episode, we hope to clear up some of those questions as we'll be speaking with 15 year old world traveler Réka Kaponay and her father George Kaponay. Réka is no ordinary teenager. She is a published author of fiction who is currently traveling the world on a book tour. Stay tuned to hear Reka's story and be inspired about the ways that our children can thrive as nomads.

On last week's episode, we spoke with Erin Bender about how the Benders make money through travel blogging. This week's guest has an even more unique source of location-independent income. Clark Vandeventer has a background in politics and has recently written a book titled "Backdoor to the White House". That's not why we have invited him on our show, though. Clark and his family have managed to turn a life event that many would consider to be a major failure into a means of making a living. Does that pique your curiosity? We don't want to give away too many details, but this is one episode you don't want to miss.

We are often asked how a nomadic family can make money from the road. One of the many ways to do that is through Travel Blogging. This week's guest is Erin Bender from TravelWithBender.com, the #1 family travel blog with over 100,000 page views a month. Erin has been traveling with her husband and their two children since May of 2012 and they are on an open-ended, unplanned, round-the-world trip. If you have ever wanted to run a travel blog, or are interested in how it works, this is the episode for you.

Today's episode is the second part of our three part series about babywearing. Click here to listen to the first part. This episode is all about how to properly wrap your baby while babywearing, and there was no better person to speak to about this than Diana Rosenfield. Diana is a mother of three and has been wrapping her babies for ten years. She founded Wrap Your Baby in 2005 to show others how you can include babies and toddlers in an active lifestyle. She and her husband have also spent many years on the road as a nomadic family, so her advice here is invaluable for nomads with young children.

This week's episode is the first in a three-part series about a topic that a lot of parents hold very dear: Babywearing.

On this week's episode, we're speaking with Kimberly and Joe of Young Fulltimers. Kimberly and Joe began their journey the day after they were married, and they soon found out that it was harder to earn money on the road than they anticipated. One of the major ways that digital nomads earn money is through affiliate marketing, travel blogging and the writing industry in general. You'll hear Kimberly and Joe talk all about the challenges of affiliate marketing and why it might not be right for everyone.

NomadTogether.com/Unschooling

Today's episode is going to be a little bit out of the ordinary. On this week's show, you're going to hear Becky speak with her good friend Cassandra Vore about a topic that both of them are very passionate about: radical unschooling. This a topic that can generate a lot of fear and confusion, so we're hoping that this episode will clear a lot of things up for parents who are exploring these alternative schooling methods and teach those of you out there that are considering this that you can do things differently.

On this week's episode, you'll hear the Royals talk all about what it means to live a "crazy family lifestyle".

On this week's podcast we are speaking with Brandon Pearce of PearceOnEarth.com. We affectionately refer to Brandon as the "Sage" of location independent families.

After a short break, we have returned with a genuinely amazing story. What you are about to hear is not a dramatization. There were real people and real things that got hurt in the making of this podcast episode. This is the story about our most recent visa run to Guatemala; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Fair warning: most of it was very ugly.

On today's show, we are speaking with Doug Duvall. We met Doug and his wife Marcy while we were camping in La Paz, Mexico and we thought they had one of the most unique location-independent situations we have encountered yet. Doug is a stay-at-home-dad, while Marcy is the main breadwinner in the family. The Duvall's story is proof that you don't need to follow the traditional western script in order to be a successful location-independent family.

NomadTogether.com/GapYear

On today's podcast, you're going to be hearing from Mike Cooney of CooneyWorldAdventures.com. Six years ago, Mike and his wife Catrell sold nearly everything they owned to take their three teenage sons on an adventure around the world. They wanted their sons to see the world and have a hands-on immersion education before heading off to college. This idea of taking a "Gap Year" to travel before beginning higher education isn't new, but the Cooneys decision to do so as a family is a very unique and exciting way to do it.

This week's episode is a little different for us, as we are going to be sharing two different interviews with digital nomads who have taken outside the box approaches to making money and living a nomadic lifestyle. First, you'll be hearing from Reinder de Vries and his partner Geerjte, who will talk about their website LearnAppMaking.com, a resource for people who are aspiring to develop their own apps (which can be a great source of location-independent income). After that, you will hear from Marcela Fernandez, who will be talking about how she is using the techniques she has learned while operating her educational tour service, BeOnBoard.org to build a learning community for nomadic families.
