Hi, I'm Jesper, and together with my wife Cecilie, we have created financial freedom and personal independence. But for us financial freedom, it's not just about making more money. It's also about understanding our relationship with money and using it in accordance with our deepest values.

We left the conventional lifestyle with a big house and busy careers to pursue our dream of traveling around the world with our children.

This decision changed everything for us. Over the years, we have learned a number of techniques that have both increased our income and helped us manage our expenses in line with our values.

Now, we want to share our experiences with you, so you can learn to understand your relationship with money, use it in accordance with your values, and achieve the financial freedom you dream of.

With love

Jesper Conrad

Financial Harmony and Lifestyle Changes

We have now been traveling full-time for 5 and a half years. The question we most often get is: 'What about money, how can you afford it, what do you work with?'

To afford traveling full-time, we have spent a lot of time learning to understand economics and have worked with our own relationship to money, what money is, and how to learn to consume in relation to one's values, and how to learn to say yes to money and the energy that comes with it.

It's a bit like going on a diet to lose weight. If you want lasting results, you need to change your lifestyle. The same applies when you want to create harmony in your finances. You need to change your financial lifestyle.

Therefore, we would like to invite you on our own financial journey, so you can see how we have ended up with the freedom we have today.

A Life in the Media Industry and Debt

Jesper spent his youth in the media industry. He had a decent amount of money, and a corresponding level of consumption. In fact, he had accumulated a bit of consumer debt by the time we met. Where Cecilie, as a single mother, had to get used to making do with what she had, Jesper was accustomed to the idea that one could just spend a little more money, as there would always be a nice amount coming in the next month.

From Two Incomes to One + a Little Bit of Everything

In 2008, we had long been accustomed to a life with two incomes and had managed our mortgage well. We lived without a car and our clothes were second-hand. But then Silke was born, and we decided that Cecilie should stay at home. Our finances shrank, and we now had to manage with one income, maternity benefits, and some small earnings from Jesper's projects. Our focus on how to achieve harmony in our finances grew. A step in Jesper's journey was the book 'The Energy of Money,' which led him to the idea that money is a language. Liv attended a private school and we prioritized having enough for experiences and a long winter vacation in Thailand. When you are clear about your values, it's easier to prioritize your expenses, so you can still afford the dream life.

Surprise Baby and the Start of Worldschooling

Fjord was born in January 2012. We were still living with the fear that Cecilie might have a leukemia relapse. But then Fjord came. He was a surprise. A light in the darkness. Showed us the way. As Copenhageners, we didn't have a driver's license, nor a car. All transport was by public means or a cargo bike. But when Fjord was on the way, we took our driving tests together. 37 years old. We wanted to live more. And dreamed of freedom. Jesper had the opportunity to take a long paternity leave, so we bought an old Toyota Previa, rented out our house, and went on a 3-month road trip when Fjord was only 4 months old.

Full-Time Travelers - We Made It! From Dreaming to Planning.

The winter of 2017/2018 we spent on La Palma, one of the beautiful Canary Islands. There, we met a full-time traveling family who gave us a very simple but brilliant piece of advice: 'Set a date, then you go from dreaming to planning.' After that, things moved quickly. We had built up enough clients to live as digital nomads. And we had also managed our expenses. There was harmony in our finances and we were ready. We bought a bus, converted it, and set out into the world. For the first two years of our full-time traveling life, we lived off the income from Jesper's consulting tasks and Cecilie's mentoring. We did it. And we are proud of it.
