How to Become a Global Citizen

It is absolutely the most bizarre thing we encountered while preparing for a life on the road. We intended to live nowhere; flitting from place to place according to whim. We’d be residents of the world with no fixed address to call home. There was only one small problem. Read More…

Custer State Park Needles

These granite spires, known as “needles,” are one of the signature sights in South Dakota’s Custer State Park

After all, money is one of the primary reasons people do what they do and often the main justification for not doing what they want. We also knew that a site dedicated to perpetual travel like EverywhereOnce needed to think bigger on the topic. Simply offering money saving travel tips isn’t good enough. Instead, we wanted to frame money in a completely new way; one that gets our readers thinking more in terms of sustainability and freedom and less about the next vacation. We wanted to set the stage for the kind of large scale change that makes life on the road possible. In short, we want to completely alter the way you think about money.
