Lifestyle & Travel

Tim and Victoria designed a lifestyle which has allowed them to travel freely. Starting with basically nothing, Tim built up an impressive real estate portfolio in about five years time. Passive income from it covers all of their bills and expenses.  Victoria designed a career as a traveling nurse.  About two years ago they set off in an RV and began traveling the United States, and the world.

I’ve listened to many stories of people who have gained financial independence through investment real estate and then pursued things they have always wanted to do.  I’ve never heard of anyone leveraging their primary residence to do the same.  Rob was able to use his primary residence to not only quit his job but also fund over a year of amazing travel experiences.

A couple weeks ago my daughter and I set out to explore Florida. We walked on heavenly beaches in Clearwater, failed a Forest Gump quiz miserably in Daytona, drove through some neighborhoods that were awesome, and some that were not. We had a surprise meetup in Orlando, went on an alligator hunt in Myakka, flew through Pandora on a banshee, watched the perfect sunset in Venice, and found ourselves amidst a surprise drag show during an amazing lunch on Tampa Bay. Today I’m going to take you along for a recap of sorts, and share some stories while giving you some good information about the state and areas within it.

In Part One of our cross country road trip, we travel into Las Vegas, share some history and interesting information about the area, visit Ghost Adventures creator Zak Bagans’s Haunted Museum, catch a Criss Angel show, then move on towards the Hoover Dam.

Sarah and I travel along Route 66 and onward to The Grand Canyon. Also discussed, the man who should have bought a lottery ticket, how I got lost and couldn’t find the Grand Canyon even though I was only steps away, elusive deer, men who hate Chipotle, men who hate the Grand Canyon, and the beautiful mood music of Paul Simon.
