🌎 Out today, I’m celebrating the launch of my new e-book about how to turn your home into a travel asset! I share the exact roadmap our family used to ensure their home base funds their global adventures rather than acting as a financial anchor.

👍 We cover the ‘rent vs. sell’ framework, the essential cash flow formula and the logistical aspects of remote property management. I get vulnerable about our two biggest rental horror stories and explain how we overcame those situations! Everything is figure-out-able!

✨ 5 Questions Answered:

• How can renting your home actually make travel cheaper than staying put? I break down our 2022 Canada road trip where our home rental income exceeded our travel lodging costs by $1,000, proving that geographic arbitrage works.
• What is the "Rent vs. Sell" decision matrix? From capital gains tax exclusions to the "emotional attachment test," we explore the questions you must ask your family before deciding to keep or list your property.
• How do you handle worst-case scenarios from another continent? Learn how we managed two difficult situations (and know you can handle anything too!)
• What is the difference between Short-Term (STR) and Mid-Term (MTR) rentals? I discuss the benefits of guests who stay 30+ days and how to properly vet them using professional and past-landlord verifications.
• How do you turn a home into a high-performing travel asset on day one? We walk through the 8 essential modules of my new 38-page e-book, covering everything from owner's closets to tax depreciation and smart-lock setups.

🌎 Anthony and Jodie St. Clair and their kids aged 14 and 11 have been traveling full-time since August 2022, after a transformative exchange in Edinburgh and a life-changing Make-A-Wish trip to Hawaii. Now split between their home base condo in Japan and traveling, they share how they navigated the transition to a sustainable, open-ended global adventure.

👍 Jodie, a cancer survivor and above-the-knee amputee, provides vital insights into the reality of accessible travel and why she chose not to wait until retirement to see the world.

✨ 5 Questions Answered:

1. How did a Make-A-Wish trip kickstart a life of travel? Jodie shares how her teenage battle with cancer led to a wish trip to Kauai, Hawaii, which expanded her world and proved that her mobility limits didn't have to limit her horizons.
2. Why did they choose to buy a condo in Japan as a nomadic home base? The family explains the difficulty of finding family-sized rentals in Japan and how owning a vacation home provides their kids with the consistency they were craving.
3. How do they handle homeschooling for a teen and a tween on the move? From Beast Academy and Khan Academy to cooking classes in Taiwan, they break down how their educational approach has evolved to digital tools and life skills.
4. What does the financial reality of full-time family travel look like? As Coast FI fans, they get transparent about their $1,800/month accommodation target and how traveling full-time actually saves them money.
5. What is the "managed time vs. freedom time" balance? Jodie explains her secret for avoiding travel burnout with kids, one you can adopt too!
