Description

In the eighth episode of the Live Limitless podcast I chat with John Bardos of JetSetCitizen.com and the TEFL job site YouCanTeachEnglish.com.
 
John is originally from Calgary, Canada but moved to Japan in 1997. There he met his wife and started an English school and online learning platform for children. In 2009, they made a one year plan to sell their business, house and all their possessions to leave Japan and embark on a nomadic travel lifestyle. They have been location independent ever since. By keeping living costs to a fraction of their old lifestyle, they are able to focus their efforts on personal, volunteer and not-for-profit projects such as the UnconferenceforSocialGood.com and initiatives to bring English teaching resources to children around the world.
