How Breaking the Rules Lets Me Live a James Bond Lifestyle of International Intrigue
When I read Tim Ferriss’ 4HWW, I learned that all the rules have changed. Working 40- to 60-hour weeks and waiting until retirement to do what you really want to do isn’t the only option. The “deferred life plan” is for losers.
It doesn’t cost as much as you might think to live a rockstar lifestyle and jet set around the world, and it really isn’t all about money anyways! Ferriss pointed out that we don’t really want to be millionaires, we want to experience what we think only millions can buy.
By leveraging geo-arbitrage—earning in a strong currency while you live somewhere with a low cost-of-living—extended travel and living abroad can actually present some massive advantages if you choose the right location.
Creating a business I could operate from anywhere has given me the freedom to choose where I live, when I work, and it has enabled me to travel and free up more time to put into relationships, writing, volunteering, and other side projects that might not contribute to my income. Living this lifestyle teaches you that traveling is easier than you think: with a little resourcefulness, you’ll be amazed what sort of great experiences you can have for free or very cheap! You will see some incredible things that will change the way you think about the world.

Must-Haves for the Digital Nomad - PC World
“In the past few months, the dream of the digital nomad lifestyle has really taken flight. You know when major newspapers pick up on a trend, it’s reaching the mainstream — something that Computerworld’s own Mike Elgan has been predicting for some time.”
How Timothy Ferriss Pursuaded Me to Become a Digital Nomad and Move to Thailand
I left California in November 2008 with a one-way ticket and no plans to return for at least a year. I’d had a nasty breakup, found myself bored at my office job, stagnating in my personal growth, followed by another messy relationship. I was ready for change. I had lived in my hometown for 24 years and I was ready for new scenery.
My desire to travel abroad started as a bit of an escape—to start fresh somewhere new—and my interest in coming to Southeast Asia was fueled by Timothy Ferriss’ inspiring New York Times Bestseller The 4 Hour Workweek. Ferriss, like many other business backpacker/vagabond/digital nomad types, noted that Thailand and Argentina were two of the world’s best remaining destinations where Americans can easily stretch their dollar.
So rather than waiting for retirement and dreaming about living in some future beach paradise, I decided to mold my life into something where I could work and travel at the same time. I spent a year and a half building a business that I could run remotely from anywhere on the globe. And then I went for it!
