Financial independence and travel: Can you have both?In February and early March, as is increasingly our custom, my wife Ruth and I spent five weeks in a sunny clime in order to avoid the tail end of Canada’s winter. On our return from Malta, regular guest blogger Devin Partida contributed a relevant article titled “Can you pursue financial independence without giving up Travel?” It ran on my own site in mid-March. 

Devin’s article intrigued me enough to reach out to Featured.com and LinkedIn to see what various financial experts and business owners think about this question. Devin herself concluded that “maintaining financial independence while traveling is entirely possible with a proper strategy.”

Certainly, my own experience is that regular travel is quite consistent wiloth at least semi-retirement. In fact, you will note that Devin’s blog includes a couple of photos of Ruth and I that were taken in Malta and Italy, which attempt to portray the idea of combining business with pleasure.
