On this week's episode, we're speaking with Sharon Gourlay from WheresSharon.com. Sharon and her family left their home in Melbourne, Australia in 2014 with the dream of a better lifestyle. Since then, they have built a successful travel blog and a series of other sites while visiting many countries in Asia and Europe with their preschoolers. They recently decided to return back home, which is something that a lot of digital nomads consider during their travels. You'll hear how the Gourlays managed to build a successful location-independent business on the road, and how they were able to face the challenges of settling into life back home.

Ever wondered what it’s really like to pack up your life and explore the world with your kids in tow? That’s the heart of the conversations on The Nomad Together Podcast, hosted by Paul and Rebekah Kortman. This isn’t about abstract inspiration; it’s a practical, grounded look at the realities of building a life without a fixed address when you have a family. Each episode pulls from their own journeys and the stories of other families they’ve met, who are flying, sailing, and RVing across the globe. You’ll hear honest discussions about the logistics of education on the move-from homeschooling to roadschooling and worldschooling-and the nuts and bolts of earning an income remotely or running a business from anywhere. This podcast serves as both a roadmap and a reassurance, dismantling the idea that such freedom is only for solo adventurers. It’s for parents who dream of showing their children the world while maintaining a sense of home, together. Tune in for genuine stories that explore the challenges, the triumphs, and the everyday magic of choosing a location-independent path as a family.
