I'm looking for insight from any fired or coastFIRE families who traveled extensively with kids. I currently have an almost 2-year-old and a four year-old. We have loved taking them camping for a week at a time in our camper. Not this summer but next summer, we are tentatively planning on having my husband quit his job. I would continue working and we'd coast/barista fire for the next 5-10 years before we'd fully FIRE (though I might continue to work indefinitely). We're trying to figure out travel with the kids can fit into a COAST lifestyle. We're thinking perhaps we'd travel in the camper for a month with the kids, who would be 3 and 5 at that point. DH was thinking he'd drive the camper across country and I'd fly to Seattle with the kids, and then take the month to work our way home. With kids this young, are we going to be in over our heads? Anyone else have any experience with this kind of travel with little kids?
I'd also love to take 6 months to a year to travel with them when they are a little older, maybe 5 and 7. I can take a month off easily, but anything longer than 3 months and I'd have to start worrying about losing my caseload. I've built a mature caseload and that is a blessing and a curse. I don't want to leave my job because it's so stable and profitable, but now I've got the golden handcuffs. I could technically do telehealth, but that would be tricky from the camper. Any medical professionals have experience with this type of set up? I'm also curious what our experience would be like traveling for this long with little kids. Again, interested in personal experience or if people know of any blogs that might be helpful?
