Bob and Fara Grim quit the 9-to-5 grind to Travel the World on a $100 a day budget. To do this they needed to make a plan. Bob was working as a Software Developer and Fara was in the Telecom industry so they used their two incomes to save every penny to prepare for their launch. This conversation is a continuation from one 6 months ago when they emailed into the show detailing their pending ripcord and how the podcast encouraged them to go nomadic. We added a ‘pulling the ripcord’ segment with them at the end of episode #56 and you can check it out here. They carefully planned everything and most importantly how they were going to pay for it. They estimated that they were going to spend $100/day while traveling so they developed a mantra that gave them a gut check every time they were thinking about spending money. That mantra set them up to be temporarily retired in their early 40s and have enough money to travel on while they discover and create their next income streams. We catch up to Bob and Fara in Ireland, 6 months into their travels, to get the lowdown on what they’ve discovered so far and what happened to their $100 a day travel budget. In this episode we discuss... Their lives as a Software Developer and working in the Telecom industry in Portland, OR. How they saved up enough money to retire in their early 40s. Why they decided to keep their house and rent it out while traveling. How they underestimated how much they were going to spend while traveling. The apps and travel tools that they use to make traveling easier and cheaper. Show Notes Travel the world with Bob and Fara at Candolatitude.com or on Facebook @CanDoLatitude. Podcasts that inspired Bob and Fara are Go Hunt Life (duh), Really Truly Living, Nomadtopia and Living Unconventionally. Job websites they use to make money while traveling: HelpX to volunteer work in exchange for free accommodations and WorkAway for volunteering, working and cultural exchange. House sitting resources they use are Trusted House Sitters, House Sit Match and Nomador.

Who is Britany? Britany Felix is a 30-something woman who wants to inspire you to live the life you truly want to live—not the one you're conditioned to live. She wants to help you find your freedom! In the Spring of 2016, she and her husband quit the highest paying jobs they’d ever had, sold almost everything they owned (including their home), and began traveling the Western United States in their RV. Britany is the host of the travel podcast, Living Unconventionally, and the owner of Custom Podcast Editing where she helps everyday people discover the power of podcasting and how to get their message out into the world. Living Unconventionally podcast covers her personal Freedom Journey and features weekly interviews with like-minded people—incredible people who’ve ditched their desk, or traditional life, to chase their passions and explore the world. Quotes from Britany I think success is being happy— whatever is going to make you happy. If that’s a ton of money in the bank so you can feel secure, then that’s success for you. If it’s having the time freedom or location freedom to work wherever you want, or not work whenever you want, and from anywhere in the world, which is what my version of success looks like. You know it’s different for everybody but when it comes down to it, it’s just being happy with the life that you live on a daily basis. (6:15) You know I started reading these travel blogs and started listening to podcasts and started following entrepreneurs who had businesses around this type of subject and I just consumed so much of it until I believed wholeheartedly that I could do it. If all these other could do it then, why can’t I? And so that’s always what I recommend to other people because they think everyone else can have it but they can’t and that’s not true. So you just have to keep consuming information of people doing what you want to do until it sinks in that it’s possible for you as well. (16:32) What You’ll Learn How inspiration from others living successful, unconventional lifestyles had helped spur her to quit her day job in order to travel with her husband How traits like determination and persistence are necessary to achieve one's means How creating a podcast of her own has changed her life for the better Ironically, she's never read lifestyle design manifesto Four Hour Work Week Resources and How to Connect: Britany's Websites: LivingUnconventially.com, CustomPodcastEditing.com Social Media: Facebook and Twitter Resources Mentioned: ChrisGuillebeau.com, SuitcaseEntrepreneur.com Other Listening Options: Individual player or full player view on website: http://lorirochino.com/podcast-2/

Britany is the host of the Living Unconventionally podcast where she talks to people living in an unconventional way. She recently took a many month road trip after she and her husband sold all of their possessions as well as their house. However, a little bit into it, the husband didn't like it nearly as much as she did. We talk about relationships and travel as well as what to do when you partner isn't too crazy about travel. Since it was only a few weeks before the interview it was still fresh in her mind but it as still interesting to hear about the solutions.

What have you learned? Ever since I was first initiated into the rescue community it's been a non-stop learning experience. I'm so grateful for the many people who've taught me what's going on in the world AND for all the animals I've had the opportunity to meet and work with. I'm really excited to share what you've learned from your experience in the rescue world! I’m also thrilled to be sharing the mic with my season 3 co-host, Britany Felix, from the Living Unconventionally podcast. But before we get to our conversation I just wanted to rewind for a second, because I kind of threw Britany into the show without an explanation, and I totally meant to give you one. If you’ve been listening since the 1st episode you already know that I intended these Q&U episodes to be unedited and “conversational” which I’m saying in air quotes, because I only ever intended to talk to myself in these shows. Of course, I’m actually talking to all of you, but it’s not much of a conversation if you can’t respond to me immediately. It’s also not much a of a conversation if I prepare my answers, and, the truth is that, even though the Q&U episodes were a bit more casual, I was editing the shit out of them. I was reading your comments over and over again, and calculating my responses, and if I sounded awkward I’d just start over and delete the awkwardness… can you guys tell I have a love hate relationship with perfection? I want to be this perfectly real person, but there is no such thing. It’s an oxymoron. The only way for me to stop being so conscious of how imperfect I am is to actually get into a real conversation, plus I figured you guys could use some new stories and a fresh perspective, and what better way to do that then bring on an adventurer who is passionate about the cause? Speaking of which, don’t forget to check out livingunconventionally.com to follow Britany & Brian’s RV adventures; every Friday is the adventure update, and I look forward to hearing this episode most of all each week. So I hope you will enjoy our conversations and appreciate every ah, um, and like we stutter and stumble through… we’re keeping it real.

The Q: What do you do to de-stress from the hectic nature of rescue work? This is the 1st Q&U episode of season 3 and I have a little surprise for you… we have a co-host for the upcoming Q&U episodes in season 3! If you’ve been listening for awhile, you’ll recognize today’s co-host, Britney Felix, as our storyteller from episode 23, and that one’s called, Saving a Muttley Crew, when she told us all about how her favorite rescue ended up needing a rescuer! You might also remember that she was getting ready to quit her job, sell her house, and take off in an RV, on an adventure around the U.S. with her hubby and their 2 rescue dogs. Well they finally hit the road and I’ve been following the progress from the beginning on Britany’s podcast, Living Unconventionally. I thought her perspective would bring some fun new stories to the Q&U episodes and I think you’re going to agree once you dig into our conversation. We’re also going to be mixing it up a little bit this season, and I have a few expert interviews scheduled for October in honor of Pit Bull awareness month, so those will be going out in place of the Q&U episodes… and I might be bringing more experts on in the future, so if you have any topic requests for future expert interviews, be sure to let me know. So today Britany and I are talking all about compassion fatigue and how to destress in the hectic world of rescue. Have you ever been overwhelmed with stress or felt lost and hopeless, and maybe felt guilty when you realize you can’t save every animal that pops into your facebook feed? You might be suffering from compassion fatigue… and if you are it’s time to pamper yourself a little bit. Big Thanks to everyone who participated and submitted answers. I love all of your answers! Hugs and kisses to you all. Ok, so here we go, enjoy the show! To access links to resources, photos, and more, submitted by other listeners like you, please visit http://myrescuerocks.net/32.

Britany Felix is new to the world of podcasting, but it's been a life-changing decision. She's faced the reality that nine to five work is not for her and it's time to change. So, she's selling up, getting an RV and, along with her husband and her dogs, hitting the road toward the life she really wants. Her podcast is about passionate living as she seeks to follow her own passion of living amongst the great outdoors and making a living on the road. As we discover, previous failure has made her fearless when it comes to facing such a big life change and leaving the security of an owned home and regular wage. Sometimes, we are surprised by celebrities. When we're used to seeing them show mostly their silly side in movies, it can be hard to fathom wisdom springing from their lips, but that's exactly what Jim Carrey has done. His wisdom came through a story about his father and what he learnt by the example. It's a challenge to all of us as we seek to live a life more passionately and purposely.
