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.
