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.

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.

Places I’d Love to Visit: Micronations

I have a certain fascination with micronations — places that are in many ways their own countries, but may or may not actually be recognized as actual countries.

Residencies: A Way to Go

If you’re a writer or another type of professional creative, you can find residency opportunities all over the world. Most have requirements that you must meet, but as long as you do, you can get inexpensive or free room and board.

It’s been floating around the family for decades now (the events in question actually took place before I was even born), but it’s become a part of family legend.

When you’re planning out your journeys, you have to have an idea of how you’re going to pay for a place to stay, the occasional transportation and the food it takes to keep you moving. But there are a lot of options: you can find a job that allows you to telecommute, freelance for various clients and even sell your own products. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

When you’re getting ready to travel, especially if you’re planning to be gone a long time, it’s tough to focus on details like coming home. If you’re planning to travel around the world, perhaps staying on the road for months at a time, home can seem like a strange concept.

  • 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.
