I’ve spent the majority of the last 14 years living overseas.
I’ve spent many months in Tokyo, Vietnam, Georgia, Bangkok and now Krakow, Poland.
I’ll often point to a place on a map, pack my bags, and go there alone.
I could never stay in one place for too long.
There are just too many cool places to experience.
I’m not talking about holidays or vacations.
I don’t even like holidays that much because I love my work too much.
I’m talking about really living somewhere, longer term.
My work allows me to do this.
Why?
Because my priority from day one was always this:
• Stay footloose.
• Don’t be tied to any one employer.
• Have several clients.
• Build a loyal tribe of Internet people.
• Do work I can do anywhere with a wi-fi connection.
It wasn’t talent, luck, connections, or skill that allowed me to do this.
It was because I prioritised.
It’s all possible, and I continue to make it work because I prioritise location…
