The basic concept of Portable Parents is to create a lifestyle that allows us the freedom to live and work anywhere in the world, while providing our children with an enriched education and experiences.
But it is really so much more…
We will sell or give to charity EVERYTHING we own. We will keep some clothes, electronics, and a few household items…but we are approaching this adventure as a new beginning.
Our primary residence will be Ecuador. We will homeschool our children. We will learn Spanish. We will work on building an internet based business.
However, we also plan on travelling to other countries and expect to visit 2 or 3 different places each year. If we like a city we visit we will stay for a few months, if we don’t we will move on to the next one.
These travels will be central elements to the kids school curriculum…they will live the experiences not simply read it in a text book.
By eliminating our material possessions, homeschooling the kids and building an online business we will be completely portable.
We are not without fears and trepidation. But even the kids are supportive, agreeing to give it a try. I have a great since of pride from their willingness to make such a change…to leave friendships, activities, and their hometown.
I am confident that these fears will subside, and that this experience will be the most amazing journey for our family. It will provide balance, reducing our focus on financial rewards and provide physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
