    5 Best Documents to Travel with and How to Store them

    5 Best Documents to Travel with and How to Store them

    In our house in the United States we had a fireproof safe that we kept all the important documents in. So, when we started traveling, and when we realized this was a long-term lifestyle for us, we got rid of most of our stuff, expect that safe, it's no at Eric's parents house. But, what do we do with the documents that we want to travel with. Why would we treat them as unimportant and just have them in a drawer?
    This folder is fireproof, waterproof and big enough to hold all the important documents you want to have with you as you're traveling around this amazing world.
    Also, the app LastPass is what we use to keep digital information safe. 
    Have a document you always travel with? Email me and let me know!

Great podcast for any family interested in extended travel

As a full-time traveling family with no shortage of parenting ups and downs from life on the road, we have loved discovering this podcast. Marissa really pulls you in with her conversational, engaging hosting style, and the guests she has on are fascinating and insightful. Covering a range of topics, this podcast is a great listen for any family who is already on or who is considering longer-term travel with their kids!

Amazing resource for traveling families

As a family new to the nomadic lifestyle, this podcast is such a gem. Marissa touches on topics that are relevant and specific to this unique way of living that I wish I’d had before packing up to leave! Great resource for the travel family community.

Great Podcast!!

I recently found Marissa’s podcast and— for a family who is gearing up to travel nomadically full time— it’s proven to be such a gem! The topics are not only helpful but super accesible, I really enjoy her laid back hosting style while still bringing me useful information. This is my new fav thing to listen to when I’m in the car, thanks so much for putting together this awesome show!
