Spouses of Travelers

Published

My husband and I have been giving traveling a thought for sometime in the not-so-distant future. I have seen a lot of ads and posts regarding travel nursing, but no one ever mentions what the non-nurse spouses do. Do the couples spend the assignment apart, with the spouse staying at the home base and continuing his or her regular job? We wanted to travel together, but I'm certain the pay can't be so great that it would support both of us. Do some of your spouses travel with you? If so, do they find temporary work in the new town, do they do their regular work remotely, etc?

I am really looking forward to hearing from y'all!

My husband owns a home business. All he needs to do his job are people to talk to, a phone, our computer and the internet. It is an ideal situation!
