This morning I saw a tweet from some fellow location independent pioneers
To the untrained eye it may well seem as though the remote worker is on permanent holiday. Add a little location independent ingredient to your mix and no matter where you are, people think you are there just to visit. That couldn't be farther from the truth! You have to learn to play along with the advocates and the naysayers you'll meet along the road and stick to your plan and goals no matter what. Easier said than done!

If this blog is anything to go by, I've proved that working from home is still work. Sure I no longer have that sinking Sunday night feeling or the stress of punching a clock, yet it's quite literally taken me a year to write my next post. That's because something strange happens to you when you work from home, (or at least has happened to me and others I know who have tried this) you over compensate. So all in all, my grand plan of quitting the big smoke, setting up my own business and swiftly thereafter getting on the road, has actually come with a lot of responsibility. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't trade this for my old life. It's just no matter how well you plan, it's still an adjustment and commitment. Difference is that it is to yourself, rather than to your boss! And... you are happier.
I'll continue to share, in subsequent posts, what I've found useful in order to carve out my dream life in my favorite spots on the planet... starting with technology!
I hope to inspire others to join me in the way of the future.
