Podcast: Play in new window | Download

How to travel the world with a family — there are countless ways to do it (indeed, that’s what this podcast is all about!). Cliff Hsia has figured out a way for his family to travel together, and it involves saving, working remotely and putting his daughters in local schools for short periods of time. What it does not involve, however, is living nomadically.

How to Travel the World with a Family

Cliff and his family still live in the Bay Area of California, but still find ways to spend significant time on other countries, including a four-month trip in 2014 and a ten-month trip in 2015. Listen in and hear Cliff’s advice on how to travel the world with a family, including:

• Their three-pronged approach to education
• How visiting family in far-off places inspired them to travel
• Cliff’s recommendations for family travel gear, working remotely, saving money for travel
