[quote=Anonymous]You really want to do this?  OK.

Travel.  Don't stay in hotels.  Don't eat in restaurants.  Visit the schools your kids might go to.

Once you find one place, figure out how you will work there.  nomad visas are good for a year or two.  Not really practical.  Working for a company located in another country isn't easy.  See if the company you work for has overseas postings.  If you are wealthy enough, buy your way to residency.  Lots and lots of countries, including the US, give out residency for a certain level of investment.

Look at your life here.  Are you going to be able to adapt to a life that is more difficult?  Can you live without convenience foods?  Are your kids going to complain because they don't have peanut butter, marshmallow fluff or Kraft mac and cheese?  Can you adapt to an entirely new and differently frustrating bureaucracy?  This are the things that caus epeople to hate living overseas.

Can you deal without your family for long-stretches of time?  Will you be able to come back once a year and tell friends and family you are not traveling to see them this year?

It ain't easy.  For the majority of those who fantasize about it, it will remain a fantasy.  For the rest, the majority will move back to the US within a year or two.
