As a child, my fondest memories are of travel with my family.  My family always believed that material things were far less valuable than lasting memories of experiences when we would travel together.  I am so thankful for their philosophy and desire to do the same with my family.

Just mentioning a few adventures which have led us to Maui, where I was certified at age 12 to scuba dive.  I still remember how my mother would tell me that she didn’t get to travel to Hawaii until she was almost 40, how fortunate I was to be able to travel there several times starting when I was in high school.  Our family was  also led to Saint Vincent in the Grenadines, where my dad (who was a dentist) and the family performed missionary dental work and we had the good fortune to scuba dive almost every day at the beach right outside of where we stayed.  Now the contrast of Maui and Saint Vincent were great to say the least.  I know how fortunate that I was to be able to travel do my certification dive in Maui instead of Blue Hole New Mexico, I was able to pet a moray eel on my first dive in the ocean! It was so exciting, and an opportunity that most don’t get at the early age of 12.

Okay, so you say you want financial freedom right? Well, what are you gonna do once you have achieved ultimate wealth and tons of free time? If you are like most, you will use all of that free time to travel! So, I know what I am doing my free time and money, I want to go traveling the world!

My husband’s family is from Foggia, Italy and I would love to visit the country of his ancestors. My family is from Germany, and I desire to see the beautiful countryside, drink the beer, and drive on the autobon. David loves to cook, and our dream is to do cooking tours.

Now how many of you have similar dreams? How many work from home moms out there have plans for their life that have not yet become a reality because the dream of financial freedom has not yet become a reality?  I recently had a dream come true when we were finally able to travel to Israel with my husband and my parents.  You can read all about it here and see the fantastic photos.
