I have now finished working on the archaeology projects in Arizona, and have set my sights on traveling back across the USA. Three months ago I traversed the country on my own, this time I am with my wife, Chaya, and our three month old baby, Petra.
Traveling with a baby is challenging.
Chaya has also began blogging about traveling pregnant through the Balkans and the Middle East at

PRESS RELEASE
Vagabond Family in Tucson
How to travel the world with a family in times of economic crisis
TUCSON, Arizona - Do you dream of traveling the world? Think that you
don't have the money? Don't know where to get started? Is having a
family or children holding you back? Then consult the Vagabond
Journey.com traveling family for tips and advice on how you can begin
your world travels.
For ten years, Wade Shepard has been perpetually traveling the world.
Through 45 countries on 5 continents, he has traveled on a budget of
under $6,000 a year. Chaya, Wade's traveling companion, has completed
four years of traveling through Central America, Africa, and Asia. In
the summer of 2009, Wade and Chaya were married in Maine, and they had
their first child in August. But having a family has not detered Wade
and Chaya from their traveling lifestyle. Now, traveling all together,
the vagabond family has made their way to Tucson, Arizona.

Wade and Chaya travel the world as hobos, they go from city to city,
country to country in search of work. Wade has worked as an
archaeologist in nearly 20 US states, Honduras, and Ecuador, a gardener
in Ireland and Maine, an organic farmer, an ESL teacher in Japan and
China, and as a traveling journalist around the world. Chaya has found
work as a child care specialist in South Africa, El Salvador, and all
around the USA. The family came to Arizona so that Wade could pick up
work as an archaeologist -- a profession that he has been plying around
the world for the past 9 years. The family traveled together out to
Wade's archaeology projects in the Sonoran Desert as well as in the
Tonto Forest. But now the archaeology fieldwork has come to an end, and
the vagabond family has now saved up enough money to resume their
international travels. In early 2010, they will be traveling south to
El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, and Cuba before traveling back to Asia
to search for work as English teachers.
From November 30th to December 7th, Wade, Chaya, and their 3 month old
daughter, Petra, will be around the Tucson area, and will be available
for any press/ media inquiries or interviews about how .
How are you able to travel the world for so long?
This is the question most asked of Wade and Chaya during their travels.
The answer to this question is published daily on their website,

information and tips on how to travel the world with a small budget,
how to make money to travel, how to find work when traveling, how to
travel with an infant, as well as many other travel topics.
The family has been meeting with press and media on their journey
across the USA to discuss the option of budget travel as a way of
making ends meet in times of economic crisis, how most people in the
USA can make money to travel the world, how traveling abroad for work
is a good option in a bad economy, as well as suggesting ways in which
a family with children can still live out their dreams of world travel.
Wade and his wife, Chaya, both blog regularly of their world travels.
The topics of their blog entries often include how to travel while
pregnant, how to travel cheaply, what foods to eat to save money,
explanations of geo-political and cultural differences, as well as
information about traveling with an infant. Their blog also contain
