On today's podcast, you're going to be hearing from Mike Cooney of CooneyWorldAdventures.com. Six years ago, Mike and his wife Catrell sold nearly everything they owned to take their three teenage sons on an adventure around the world. They wanted their sons to see the world and have a hands-on immersion education before heading off to college. This idea of taking a "Gap Year" to travel before beginning higher education isn't new, but the Cooneys decision to do so as a family is a very unique and exciting way to do it.

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.
