By  | 

If you’ve paid attention to previous articles and past episodes of E&L TV, the names Pat and Wayne Dunlap won’t be completely foreign to you. While we’ve talked about this extraordinary couple before, we feel they deserve an article all to themselves. The Dunlap’s live their lives in a way most people would be jealous of, they travel constantly. In fact, they’ve visited 100 countries and island groups in total and 44 U.S. states. What you may not know though is that Pat and Wayne are making it their mission to tell you exactly how you can live the same life without breaking the bank.

How do they do it? Well, the married couple rented their home and spent two full years traveling the world for the same cost of living at home. They stay away from flashy hotels, choosing quaint bed and breakfasts instead, and always try to travel off season. Wayne always had a passion for traveling and since he was a professor of economics, he knows a thing or two about working around budgets. He wanted to use his knowledge to help others fulfill their traveling desires and be able to do so for half the cost of what they would expect. From weekend getaways to long excursions, Wayne wants to help you figure out how to live your travel dreams. A former business owner, executive of high-tech companies and professor with a PhD, Wayne is definitely the guy you want on your travel side. Pat is no slouch either. Winner of Entrepreneur of the Year for San Diego, she decided to run away with her husband and take life as it came.
