The PT (Perpetual Traveler) philosophy and way of life has spread through the world like fast growing airborne seeds. No one can say how many PTs there are today. Five or ten millions? More? Who knows? PTs are an  amorphous group whit no common characteristic aside from ?attitude.?  Thus, no one can find or count them. The Great Inspirational Founding Fathers of the group asuch as the legendary "W.G. Hill, PT " arere invisible and anonymous - judiciously  blending in. PT was thought up as an antidote to intrusive government. The PT concept predates the internet. But today there are about 25,000 PT related entries and web-site on the Net.

How did it all start?
Before 1860, there were very few people who (as individual) travelled constantly. Working or Investing abroad while travelling was just not a possibility. World travelers in the old days were Called explorers or adventurers there were rare birds. Marco Polo was one of the most famous of these. Up until 1860, few people would or could travel. As a way of life- unless it was in connection with government business (ambassadors, military and Such). There were merchant mariners or merchants moving trade good overland from one place  to another. Then with railroads, better roads, hotel chains and less xenophobic governments, world- wide Mobility became possible for individuals of means. From 1860 to 1910, the Belle Epoch was the Time of the Grand Tour. Wealthy people could go around the world in as little as 80 days- or a few years if they chose to do so. And many did.
In those day no passports were needed to enter or leave countries. There were no income taxes.
There was no big brother to escape from! Starting in the nineteenth century, some wealthy  people  were able to maintain fine second  homes abroad. In the 1950s,the ?Jet Set? travelled between  fashionable watering places like Acapulco, St. Moritz, Paris, Biarritz, and Marienbad. They congregate seasonally in various fashionable parts of the world. Travel fun for these people often included taking the cure at a health farm, skiing flirting, hunting,  gambling,  yachting,  golf and tennis.  In  amongst our six flags, we have a category
?Playgrounds.? This identifies places to go and things to do ? just for fun but having  funs  just one
 face of PT life.

The difference between modern PTs and their predecessors
About fifty years ago, the first PT articles started appearing as feature stories in magazine and newsletters. The main difference between today?s   PTs and their predecessors? Early PTs either invested internationally or produced products and services for an international market, largely while outside of their home countries. PTs discovered and moved to off-the-beaten-track locations. One of the first PTs supported in the 1950s by selling a (mail order) paperback book called The Lazy Man?s Guide to Riches.  Another wrote and self-published  bargain paradise Of The World; How To Live Like A King On Under $50 A Month. Of course that was many years ago when a bottle of coca cola cost only a USA nickel ( five cents). A more refined PT philosophy was the concept of writers who came out with title like The International Man, The Sovereign Individual and PT. This last book published in England by the late lamented scope International Ltd, was described as A coherent plan for a happy prosperous international lifestyle. It first identified the ?five flags? that are flown by most PTs today. PTs thrived by finding freedom in an unfree world. This was another influential PT oriented book. PTs often join online groups, write and consult to show wanna bee PTs how to do it ? by internationalizing. But there is so much more to it than that. In Bye bye big brother we look at the
PT impact on personal relationships, the best places to live, how to invest and bank abroad with safety and high profits how and why to acquire new citizenships, and how and when to use tax havens as legal residences. PT morality is set forth, along with much more survive and prosper information. It is possible to make serious money in a totally alien environment. The bottom line is that Bye Bye Big Brother will give you (in the doing!) a sense of security and self-confidence that most people never attain.
