There’s no question that lifestyle design has exploded in popularity over the past year. It seems like a new blog about lifestyle design pops up almost daily these days, and my Google Alert on the topic brings me 20+ new articles about it some days.
At the same time, I’ve been hearing more and more subtle backlash against the topic of lifestyle design recently.
Hey everybody and greetings from sunny and beautiful Mexico once again. Life is grand, but I have a little something to confess today.
A few months ago, I sat down and established a bunch of goals for this blog. The due date for one of those big goals is fast approaching on February 1st. My goal by then was to start selling a product through the blog.
The only problem is, I haven’t yet completed my own first product to sell. That’s where Chris Guillebeau comes in to bail me out.
¡Hola de Mexico! (Hi from Mexico!)
We arrived this week in the beautiful Costalegre (the “Happy Coast”) on the Mexican Pacific. Life is grand down here, and pretty much what we remember from last year. Sun, surf, good food and great people all abound.
The picture to the right is one I shot yesterday from the balcony of our apartment. We’re beachfront and loving it. The only thing missing is a solid internet connection in the apartment. Hopefully I’ll work that out in the next few days.
I’m in the middle of packing for a 2-3 month trip to Mexico, which has me thinking a lot about the good and bad aspects of long-term travel. If you’ve thought about doing some extended travel, I thought you might appreciate an honest assessment of both positives and negatives.
This time around, things will be a little easier for us, since we spent 7 months traveling last year. We’re also headed back to a place we’ve already been to, which requires less research and planning than going somewhere completely new.

If you’re like me, you probably suffer from that pesky little condition of not being able to be in two places at the same time. You might also contend with that other common problem known as having a j-o-b.
In either case, I have a quick solution that will let you visit an exotic destination from the comfort of your laptop. I call it digital hiking (thanks to Nikki und Michi for inspiring the term in a recent comment).
