How can long-term travel and financial independence reshape your life—and open up new possibilities for your family or personal goals?

Maxwell Lee is a real estate investor, expat, and father who has built a lifestyle of financial independence and global adventure. In this episode, he shares his journey from traditional life in the U.S. to becoming financially independent, raising his children abroad, and embracing world schooling as a family. With his unique perspective, Maxwell explores how combining FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) principles with travel can lead to a fulfilling, unconventional life.

Maxwell breaks down the essentials of worldschooling, explaining how to incorporate travel into education and why it’s about more than just learning—it’s about creating meaningful experiences and fostering adaptability in children.

On the FIRE side, Maxwell shares his real estate strategies and explains how achieving financial independence gave him the freedom to prioritize his passions, family, and exploration. You'll learn how to make small, actionable changes to align your finances and lifestyle with your goals—whether that’s traveling long-term, raising a family abroad, or designing a life filled with purpose and adventure.

Even if you don’t have kids, this episode is packed with lessons about creativity, flexibility, and building a life that reflects what matters most to you.

What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to balancing travel, family, and personal goals? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you’ll share by sending me an audio message.
