We are Mike and Angela Ballard, and we’re traveling the world to find our next place to live. We currently reside in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, but we’re planning to move to another country in the next couple of years.
We’ve visited all sorts of places so far – see the whole list of the 100+ countries we’ve visited on Nomad Mania – and are in the process of ranking them based on our needs and preferences. Some are excellent possibilities, and others are just great places to visit on vacation.
We also have packing down to a science and traveled the world for a year with only carry-on luggage.
Both Ballards love exploring new places and meeting locals around the world. It’s a travel marriage made in heaven! We invite you to join us in a life of adventure, one country at a time.
