Suggestions for home base for 10 months in Mexico or Panama next year?

in Mexico by @we_are_escaping | 2yr 2 years ago | 14 comments

We’re researching places to use as a home base next year, and are leaning towards Mexico or Panama for 10 months (with 1 week “vacations” to explore surrounding countries)

But, I want to settle some place where the infrastructure is good enough for fast, reliable internet - fast enough to run live webinars without worrying that I’ll be S.O.L due to internet issues when it’s time to go live.

And ideally, I’d like to be on the coast… I like to have ocean/beach access without the need for a drive.

And not in a malaria zone (just saying, since Panama in particular has many areas that I’d rule out simply due to the need for malaria prevention meds)… it’s one thing to take that stuff for a few weeks long trip, but I don’t want to take it for months on end.

Thoughts?

Thanks for reading all

What nomads are out there traveling married and/or with a family?

by @danielgenser | 3yr 3 years ago | 37 comments

I’m curious to hear from the nomads out there who are traveling as a married couple (or long term committed couple, no matter). Many of the articles, guides, and tips one reads are understandably written from the single traveler’s perspective (even if they are traveling in a group).

What nomads are out there traveling with a marriage mate and/or family?

Is it possible to have children, while living a nomadic life?

by @manu | 5yr 5 years ago | 27 comments

Anyone here has an opinion on having children, while living a nomadic life?

Me and my GF have been living on the road for 2 years now. Our businesses are mostly established and we are considering having kids within the next 2 years. The questions that come to my mind:

Can you optimize raising children like a web startup (picking a good location, school, doing a bit of home schooling, choosing languages, etc)
Is anyone doing this right now? What are your experiences?
Where are good places to live with children? I guess we would rent a house with garden and hire a local nanny/household helper.
Do you think it’s an advantage for kids to grow up internationally with both parents being around more than usually?

Let me know what you think. I know Graham Brown is doing it with his Japanese wife. Sadly he doesn’t write too much about family matters. Then there is also a family blog, I only recently discovered, but didn’t get a chance to read yet.
