Searching for Paradise...
No Longer A "Millionaire's Hobby"!

Looking for Paradise

Some years ago now, I was chatting with a new client about my somewhat unusual lifestyle.

We were talking about how I had spent six months in Thailand; discovering the country, going on elephant treks, frequenting archeological sites, and visiting royal palaces that could Versailles to shame.

I then went on to detail my plans to stay in the colonial city of Quito, Ecuador, with plans to head for the Pacific beaches, probably at Bahia de Caraquez.

I added that my objective was to find little-known places of paradise that lie outside the areas frequented and crowded by tourists. All told, I planned to be away for many months.

My new client listened, speechless...Then asked me:

"Are you a millionaire?"

At that moment I realized most people have absolutely no idea of the cost of living overseas. They calculate that if a 15-day tour package in Thailand costs $4,000 per person, at that rate, if you have enough money for a 6-month tour, then you have to be a millionaire!

But what my client didn't realize is that if you find the right cities, and you work it correctly, you can sustain this lifestyle forever. In fact, it is within anybody's reach. Basically, you only have to do two things:

• Reduce your traveling costs (never your comfort!)
• Reach your point of equilibrium by earning money while traveling.

With these two points in mind you can travel - in style - forever.

This lifestyle is thrilling but to enjoy it at its fullest potential you have to understand the mechanics.

Traveling in this manner has nothing
to do with how you are probably used to traveling.

In a nutshell, with this website, we want to show you that a true Free as a Bird lifestyle, traveling around the word in total comfort, appreciating the beauty of the planet, laughing away money worries while regaining vigor and energy is within anyone's reach. This is not a 'millionaire's' dream.
