In order to find a new way to make money, Akpan and her husband poured their energy into their travel blog, TheMomtrotter.com, where they share tips on traveling, parenting and homeschooling on a budget.

\"That was the time to kind of make this work and get better at my craft and kind of make it into a family thing so that it would be able to sustain us,\" said Akpan. \"I got better at the craft and photography and video and all that stuff, and pitching and reaching out to brands, and the income just started coming in.\"

By partnering with brands, the family was able to increase their annual gross profit to more than $300,000, according to Akpan.

She says the extra income allowed her family to pay off their more than $200,000 debt in 18 months.

\"I was able to sleep better just knowing that I don't have that debt over my shoulders anymore,\" said Akpan.

The family plans to continue to live in the RV as they travel and build their brand even more, according to Akpan.

A bonus of the family's journey has been the experience for Aiden, whom Akpan says \"has adjusted so well\" to his family's new living adventure.

\"He loves being on the road,\" she said. \"He loves meeting friends, loves visiting new states, countries and everything in between.\"
