Wherever We May Roam: A Practical Guide To Longer Travel

Send us Fan MailMost travel advice starts with destinations, but that’s not what makes a trip work, especially when you’re traveling for weeks or months. We’re Jim and Rita Santos, and after 16 years of everything from short trips to living abroad and experimenting with full-time roaming, we’ve learned the hard truth: long-term travel doesn’t fall apart because you “did it wrong.” It falls apart when you copy someone else’s travel lifestyle instead of building a travel style that fits your time, budget, and personality.We’re back for a new season with a new name, Wherever We May Roam, along with our book Wherever We May Roam: Finding Your Travel Style. We break down four common long-term travel styles: extended getaways, part-time roaming, digital nomad life, and full-time roaming. We also unpack the biggest mistake travelers make, planning one style of trip with another style’s rules, and how a simple self-assessment can save you money, stress, and disappointment.From there we get practical: how cash and payments work overseas now, what to do when accommodations go sideways, how visa rules and Schengen limits can surprise you, and why apps, travel insurance, and a flexible mindset matter more the longer you stay out. We share real stories, from unexpected delays to health care abroad, plus small cost-saving habits that make extended travel more sustainable.Follow the podcast, share this with a friend who’s dreaming of longer travel, and leave a quick review so more travelers can find us.And if you want to go deeper, you can check out my book, Wherever We May Roam, Finding Your Travel Style, where I walk through all of this in more detail.
