Could you give up your house, most of your possessions, and embrace a life with no permanent address? In 2017, Jeff and Patti Spaulding got rid of 90 percent of what they owned, sold their house in Cincinnati, and placed a few treasured possessions into a storage unit in Sarasota. For nearly 10 years, they have lived as nomads, with no permanent address anywhere. During that time, they have traveled to more than 31 foreign countries by plane, train, bus, boat, camel, and horse cart. They usually stay in neighborhood Airbnb’s where they can experience everyday local life. Join Jeff and Patti as they share why they chose this lifestyle, how they made the transition, the rewards and challenges of life on the road, and the practical lessons they’ve learned along the way.
