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.

It has NEVER Been Easier to Design Your Ideal Lifestyle and Work from Anywhere in the World!
Location independence is a growing trend among technology and knowledge workers that has been popularized by blogs like Tim Ferriss’ 4-Hour Workweek blog, Dell’s Digital Nomads site, LocationIndependent.com, Workshifting, Anywired and many more. A location independent professional or digital nomad is someone who leverages technology and the internet to work wherever they want—be it from home, your favorite coffee shop, a restaurant, hotel, on the beach, or even from the other side of the world! These nomadic entrepreneurs use their laptops, iPhones, a little resourcefulness, and a few handy web-based applications to earn an income wherever they live or travel.
Location independent professionals frequently work as freelance writers, photographers, affiliate marketers, web designers, developers, graphic designers, and sometimes they simply pick up odd jobs as they go. Social media makes it much easier for anyone with enough motivation to share their ideas with a global audience and build a successful business these days, and with the increasing availability of free and cheap wifi internet access all around the globe, it’s becoming increasingly possible for anyone to work and vagabond their way around the globe simultaneously!
