What do you get when you combine international travel, military life, entrepreneurship, and homeschooling? A world class opportunity unlike any other!
Our guest today is Anna Larson, from NomadAbout. Her nomadic family, which includes her husband, 2 kids, plus a fur baby, has spent the past 16 years living overseas and visiting as many countries as they can while homeschooling and running a business.
Anna shows us how putting down roots is not a must to run a successful business, and how it’s possible to make the entire world your classroom!

Over these years, I have really grown to love the process of watching my children learn. Like, seeing them catch on to some concept, learn a concept when that light goes off in their head and they’re like ‘I get it now! I know how to do this’. I love that like that is one of the big highlights of my day.
