Family Information:

In January, 2010, after selling our home in the U.S. and most of our possessions, we began our life abroad, starting with Costa Rica. We moved for better weather, a chance to learn new languages, experience new cultures, and to get away from the stagnation and materialism we had been experiencing.

We're homeschooling our girls, learning a lot through our travels, and growing closer together as a family. Using Costa Rica as a home base, we spend 2010 and 2011 exploring surrounding countries. In November, 2011, we moved to Malaysia and are now enjoying Southeast Asia.

We fund our travels through my online business (www.musicteachershelper.com), which I've automated and outsourced, allowing me to run it in about 5 hours of work per week. I'm also in the process of writing a book about how I created my online business and lifestyle.

Life is a great adventure and we're excited to be a part of it!
