I’ve been reading up and learning about leading a life that isn’t location-bound and being free to do the things I want, and so many people who make it work live off proceeds they get from the internet. I’m such a non-tech person, it’s great to see some people who don’t depend on technology to fund their lifestyle. More stories please!

Cool Tony, sounds like a nice plan. I like the flexibility to stay somewhere if you like it, or move on / return home if you don’t. Good luck!

Nice article. I’m currently full-time technical writer, but I work from home. The deal is I can work from anywhere in the world that has an Internet connection. My girlfriend Ana is a nurse, but she now works as a contract nurse, giving her complete flexibility. In the future I’d like to work fewer hours, and maybe do some contracting from time to time, so that we could travel. We’re traveling to Philippines next year, and may end up spending quite a bit of time there. The “Sales Guy” is right – there are so many different opportunities it can be overwhelming.

Coming from parents that were Entrepreneurs&Artists types, the 9-5 routine always seemed foreign and stifling to me. However in years past and when I had a young family, Outside Sales seemed a pretty good compromise to me in that it offered flexibility and little or no office time required.
