This week learn what World Travel Dad found out in the first four months of his trip with his family.  The good, the bad, the ugly of how the trip is going.  It isn’t such a simple answer. WTD recommends taking a long trip somewhere first before you commit.  Also, you have to be pretty creative these days to find the “deals.”  But WTD is concerned his quest for cheaper deals may lead to stepping on a crocodile some night. Learn about Global Arbitrage, and who blinks first on the homesickness meter.  The results are truly shocking–unless you know how much of a softie WTD is. Check out podcasts referenced:  Nomad Capitalist, and Rebel Capitalist. If you want to play the currency markets, but don’t want to open a foreign bank account, WTD highly recommends Wise service.  He has been using it in the global arbitrage game to great success.  You can use this service even if you just stay in the US.  When you need the Euros for that next trip, they’ll be there, and you’ve bought when the dollar was strong. As always, please subscribe and share with any friends who like to travel and have ever thought about longer trips.
