The Relaunch: Goals and Aims

Since starting this site, my own career has evolved. The origin of this site was a manuscript I was working on. That particular manuscript, which explores opportunities women have to live and work abroad, has been completed for what feels like eons. I’ve had several publishing opportunities fall through and I’ve committed to publishing that particular manuscript as an ebook. It’s not, however, the focus of my interest in travel and work at this point.

I’ve become more interested in the opportunities available to the digital nomad and how individuals can travel and work long-term. I’m interested in the tools, the coworking spaces, the mechanics of the process. To a certain extent, I’m also interested in  what opportunities are the most practical for such a lifestyle.

Personally, my recent travels have been short term: I’m working on my MA in Baltimore, which makes it much harder to get out of town for even a month. I have big plans for the future, but for the present, I’m not going to far.

In light of all of this, one of my goals is to bring someone in to work with me on producing the sort of content for this site that will truly be useful. I want to find someone who is out there, on the road, at this point. Testing out some of the tools I use on a week long trip just doesn’t give me the confidence I need to say that one option is better than another for someone who is on the road all year long.

It’s going to be a slow process, I know, but I do believe in the value of this blog and will continue to build it.

The Relaunch: In the Works!

I’ve been thinking long and hard about what I want to do with this site and I’ve got some cool ideas on the way, along with a full relaunch in January 2011.

One of my standing concerns has been that there are so many other blogs catering specifically to the digital nomad and location independent lifestyles out there. I want to make sure I’m not just rehashing old information or repeating what other sites cover. I think you’ll enjoy what I’m planning to roll out soon.

The Easiest Way to Build a Business for Traveling

More often than not, when we talk about paying for our tickets to far-off places, we’re talking about telecommuting or freelancing. It’s rare that we talk about building a full business that we can legitimately earn a full-time living with, no matter which nation we happen to be in this week. The idea of building a business, in a year or less, that will make at $50,000 or more, may seem out of reach.

Unautomate Your Finances

One of the most difficult facets of actually traveling for more than a week or two at a time is figuring out how to manage your personal finances. Things are a lot more complicated than just figuring out how to change money to something you can use locally. Adam Baker has created an ebook that can walk you through the process — and he’s speaking from experience. After finding himself and his family is a less-than-wonderful financial situation, Baker and his wife paid off their consumer debt, sold most of their possessions and started traveling. They’ve been to Australia and New Zealand since leaving the States and have Thailand next on their list.

The Problem with the 4-Hour Workweek

I read the 4-Hour Workweek not too long after it came out. I bought a copy for my dad, recommended it to my friends and generally considered it a solid inspirational piece. But as its popularity has grown and Tim Ferriss has effectively become synonymous with words like ‘lifestyle design’ and ‘productivity,’ I’ve noticed a serious problem.

Should Travelers Tweet? The Worry

I have friends all over the world. I’m pretty sure the only continent where I don’t know someone is Antarctica — and there have been several near misses there. A huge number of those friends I’ve met through Twitter. I’ve met tons of people through Twitter and have have even arranged the occasional face-to-face get-together.

7 Skills You Must Have to Run a Nomadic Business

Hands down, most of the people I know who want to travel for more than a few weeks here and there want to run their own businesses. They want to start their own business that allows them to support their traveling habit while still working on a schedule that is convenient for those same travels.

Using a Weapon as a Travel Hack

When you’re flying domestically within the U.S, a gun — even a starter pistol — can be a useful travel hack. You have to specially register any baggage containing a projectile weapon, which means the TSA will go to extra efforts to ensure your bags show up in the right airport and on time.

Skype Dominates International Calling

I spotted an interesting news item this morning: Skype now accounts for 12 percent of all international calling minutes. That’s a huge number, especially when you consider that more countries’ international calls are split between local telecomms, as well as online tools like Skype.

  • I don't know too many women who can afford to take a year off and travel. That's no reason to skip on long term travel, though. Between telecommuting, work visas and networking, it's perfectly possible to pick up and move to different parts of the world on a regular basis — and work along the way.

    Most women have a passing familiarity with the au pair concept. We focus on jobs that you can be proud to put on your resume: from finding a job abroad to building a business of your own, we've got the resources you need.
