Oftentimes when folks hear about how we’ve lived our lives on the road since 2006 – we get the response ‘You’re living my dream!’

To which we of course reply ‘Then why aren’t you doing it too?’

We have been collecting the excuses we’ve heard over the years, and have been writing about them in our No Excuses: Go Nomadic blog series .   We invite you to read the series online – or if you prefer, we have the same content available in a convenient, pay-as-you-wish, eBook format.

December 2011 Update:  We have begun a massive re-write, expansion and updating of this series (previously called ‘Answers to the Common Excuses Not To Travel Full Time’ – ugh, what a mouthful!). We’ll be re-publishing each chapter over the coming months as both new blog posts and eBook updates. Please come back and see what’s new!

Here are the chapters in the series & eBook (with links to their corresponding blog post):
