I'm not an IT dev, I don't work in IT but I was always interested in homelabbing. I started working on the above homelab exactly one year ago and I love this hobby. I would like to know if you have any suggestions? I'm thinking of adding a GPU to my homelab for video transcoding and OCR AI (5060ti?) I'm also thinking of adding a Raspberry pi for adguard as the one on the Glinet is overloading the router if it has more than 3 lists. But then I would need a switch and new router because I only have 3 ethernet ports on the one I have now. I also wonder if my HDD backup solution is the best? I have all 4 drives encrypted with LUKS and what I do is that once a week or month I run a script from my laptop that unlocks the 2 HDDs, do a rsync and then I reboot the server and boot into dropbear-ssh and unlock my two main HDDs leaving the 2 backups unmounted and encrypted. I wonder if there is something better? My SSD with all the databases is being backup'd once a week using backrest to my Media HDD. And then I have a syncthing that checks updated folders and sync them with my laptop (and google drive). And is scrutiny enough to see if my HDDs are healthy? I bought the 4 HDDs a year ago, before the AI craze and now they are 2.5x the price. It would be a horror if one of them failed. Thanks so much y'll! submitted by /u/TechNerd-1138 to r/homelab [link] [comments]

I think I'm going to just give up on my dreams. I'm tired. My job won't allow us to take our laptops outside of the U.S. Taking it anyway would mean risking my job. We have a pretty strong IT department, so I'm sure they'd notice. In the meantime, I'm trying to pitch clients for social media management work. I've had a few ask me for samples. But once I send it over, they've fallen off. Majority of companies I reach out to in my niche don't reply. I tried going back to Upwork and putting in some applications. Nothing is working. I love my job. I work with great people. I have no complaints. I just want to work abroad. But it seems like it's going to be impossible at this rate. Sigh. I. Am.

Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about trying to build a more location-independent life, but I’m not sure how realistic the digital nomad path still is in 2026. For people who are actually doing it now: what kind of work are you doing? And if you had to start over today, what skills or specialties would you learn? I’m especially curious about things like tech, data/AI, cybersecurity, writing/editing, or any other remote-friendly fields. Would love to hear your honest thoughts. submitted by /u/dearrraliceee to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

I’ll preface this by saying I genuinely love Spain and I do recommend it as a place to live. But if you’re on the fence about whether the Digital Nomad Visa is worth pursuing - let me save you some pain. I’ve done visas for probably 10 countries at this point. I have permanent residency in a few of them. I thought Spain would be straightforward. It has not been. Seven months in, thousands spent on paperwork, translations, apostilles, appointments, and I’m still not done. The Spanish bureaucratic system is genuinely one of the most outdated I’ve ever encountered. We’re talking ancient government websites, in-person bank visits to pay in cash for appointments, and a process that feels like it was designed in 1987 and nobody has touched it since. Also; during the appointments it completely depends on what police officer you get. Some will just refuse to give you what you need and won’t explain why. It’s genuinely infuriating. I’ve seen this visa recommended a lot on here and I get it - on paper it sounds great. But unless Spain is your absolute dream destination and you’re committing to at least 2-3 years minimum, I genuinely don’t think it’s worth the effort. If you are going to do it, hire someone to handle the paperwork. Yes they charge €2,000-3,000 but it will save your sanity. I made the mistake of doing it myself because I’m busy with work and by the time I looked for help I’d already done 90% of it - so nobody would touch it for less than full price anyway. Just wanted to share an honest experience because I wish someone had told me this before I started. Happy to answer questions if anyone is considering it. submitted by /u/No_Emu8347 to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

Being a digital nomad would be a dream for me right now. I’m 26M and just got hooked on solo traveling last year. The issue is that I’ve got a good paying stable job in the US with great benefits. I’m young, hungry and eager to be successful but another half of me would kill to live abroad with a mediocre paying job. After mentally playing it out I feel like I’ll wake up at 32, well traveled but still have a shallow career. Rather than if I were to stay in the US and grind these next years I could travel abroad endlessly in my mid thirties. (assuming I play my cards right) I’ve been to Medellin a couple of times and love everything about it. I feel like the US is doing so many things wrong and being in corporate america is very odd and socially stressful. So what jobs are stable and pay good as a d nomad? Any comments or thoughts are welcome submitted by /u/Plenty_Grocery_2713 to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

Digital nomad life looks cool from the outside, but it’s actually fragile and overwhelming, visa runs, checking services, renewals, endless logistics. Sometimes it feels like you’re managing paperwork more than living. submitted by /u/Informal-Teacher4320 to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

I've been following this sub for a while and watching a lot of YouTube channels about digital nomads in places like Bali, Chiang Mai, and Medellín. On the surface, it all looks amazing — laptops on the beach, smoothies for breakfast, cheap rent, flexible schedules. But the more I dig into it, the more it seems like a lot of people are just scraping by. I see folks working 3+ different gigs, barely making $1–2K/month, and constantly moving to places where the cost of living is super low just to make ends meet. Is this really freedom? Or just escaping the rat race only to join a different version of it? I work in marketing and have some remote experience, so I’m not totally new to online work. But I’m hesitant to drop everything and chase a lifestyle that might be more Instagram than reality. Would love to hear from people who’ve actually done this long-term — how sustainable is it really? Is there a way to build something semi-passive instead of grinding all day on Fiverr and Upwork? submitted by /u/No_Lavishness2922 to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

I’ve been living as a digital nomad in Bali for about six months now, and the situation has been way more complicated than I expected... When I first moved here, I rented a villa that looked like paradise. The beach was practically at my doorstep. And I mean working in summer shorts with a drink in hand made me feel like I was finally living the dream. However, reality quickly hit me. And instead of moving to Vietnam which was the next country in my agenda, I ended up being semi-stuck in Bali because my startup isn't doing so hot. (I co-founded a tool that helps remote teams automate different services and such.) At first, we had solid traction, and I was making money comfortably. So, I thought being a digital nomad would actually give me the peace of mind and freedom to work from anywhere. But reality's been absolutely humbling me. The company isn't exactly growing and scaling up. In fact, I had to let go of two people over the past three months, actually. My savings are quickly drying up and it looks like I might have to give up the digital nomad lifestyle and start looking for a ‘normal’ job just to stay afloat. And right now, the other co-founders are getting frustrated, since our product isn't anywhere it needs to be while I'm in Bali living the "dream" life while everything behind the scenes are falling apart... Anyway, just to be clear, I'm not looking to plug my product anywhere from a pity post. Just wanted to vent for a bit and hear from other nomads who went through the same kind of mess as I am right now. If that's you, how did you get through it? submitted by /u/SouthernSyrup6027 to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

Just came back from my 2 week vacation and I’m impressed by the country. Excellent weather, very very economic living conditions, really friendly people, more than 50 islands and amazing food. Why is it not booming like Portugal or Spain? I don’t understand it. submitted by /u/Sea-Rip-7954 to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

Hi! I know this can be quite personal and depends on your job, but I’d love to get some recommendations for my next trip. Here are my preferences: Good and affordable grilled fish/seafood Great massage options Pleasant weather Safety (especially important as a solo female traveler) To give you a better idea of my taste, here are my top and bottom travel experiences so far: My best experiences: Vietnam (obviously!) Turkey (amazing fish and fruit, although I did get scammed) If you have any hidden gem recommendations for digital nomads, please share them in the comments below! submitted by /u/Terrible_Role5952 to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

TL;DR My wife and I sold everything we owned in 2021 except our tiny backpacks and worked from hotels for 3 years in 27 countries spending < $3k per month each. We travel hacked 3.5 million points for free business class flights and almost 1000 nights in 4/5-star Marriotts and Hyatts. https://preview.redd.it/8fbxo5kxahwe1.png?width=1402&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d9e1db448625c3ff5e2a9f3c14aec0a9c5c0e5e We earned the highest-tier statuses which gave us free upgrades to luxury suites, along with free daily breakfast, access to lounges with snacks and drinks, daily housekeeping, gym, pool, sauna, spa, etc. We haven’t had to clean our rooms, change our bed sheets, or take out the trash in years. In this post I'll share some of the hacks and tricks we figured out along the way that led to us spending even less money per year than we did before we started traveling! https://preview.redd.it/tjtvu8bd4iue1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1cddf2ea2d2a5847fd321064e5d0d3172b1a23c This is a collage of some of the places we visited including Machu Picchu (Peru), the Taj Mahal (India) where we got engaged, Chichen Itza (Mexico), Hagia Sophia (Turkey), Mount Fuji (Japan), Eiffel Tower (Paris), Cusco (Peru), Cappadocia (Turkey), Blue Lagoon (Iceland), Marrakesh (Morocco), and Miyajima (Japan). See daily stories on instagram for proof. Hacking Hotels Living in hotels full-time quickly earned us the highest tier statuses at Marriott and Hyatt (in combination with their credit cards). Living in 4/5 star hotels cost us on average less than $150 per night over the last 3 years. In expensive cities, we sometimes paid $200 to $400, while in cheaper cities it was often less than $100 per night. We earned roughly 16% back in hotel points (for example, 17.5x Marriott points with Titanium status), 6% back in credit card points, and 2-3% back by clicking through Rakuten to book. This was about 25% back per dollar of hotel spend. So essentially, we pay only for 8 months of rent and get 2 months free with these points. We don’t have to pay rent for the remaining 2 months per year since we spent 3-4 weeks at work conferences and 5-6 weeks visiting our families. Therefore, our total cost for accommodation in an entire year was approximately 8 *30*150 = $36,000 per year, which translates to an average of $3000 per month i.e $1500 per person. We used to pay the same $3000 monthly rent when we lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City. But on top of that $36,000 yearly rent plus extra for utilities, we had to pay double for hotels during the 2-3 weeks we went on vacation! So it was actually cheaper for us to live in hotels full-time all year. Hacking Credit Cards We earned an extra 100,000 points every two months as signup bonuses by opening new credit cards and charging all these hotels to meet the spending criteria. We ended up cycling through over 20 cards combined earning 3.5 million points cashing it out for about $100,000 worth of hotels and business class flights. We thought this would make our credit score go down but it actually went up to over 800. Whenever possible, we downgraded each card to a free version without annual fees after exactly one year, instead of canceling (so that it doesn’t affect our credit score much). Some of the US cards each of us have cycled through include Amex Platinum, Gold, Green, Capital One Venture and Venture X, Chase Sapphire Preferred and Reserve, Citi Premier, and Bilt. We also got a few hotel credit cards, including those from Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton, and some airlines cards. Doctor of Credit is the best resource for credit card signup bonuses by the way (the other websites sometimes prioritize their affiliate links over the best deals) Onebag Setup After 3 years of optimization, everything I owned consisted of just 34 items that cost under $1700 USD in total, weighing less than 11 pounds, and fit in a tiny 10L onebag. (My wife added her 16-pound onebag setup in another post) https://preview.redd.it/6pwr7t9b4iue1.png?width=1234&format=png&auto=webp&s=db2327cf1bac6612157b85bb80e5b1bae4a61c25 I’ve listed each item along with their cost and weight here: https://lighterpack.com/e/r08kbs Tips Traveling: We used most of the points we earned through those signup bonuses to fly business class on all the long-haul flights (7+ hours). Usually, we book short flights (or trains) and slowly hop to nearby countries and cities to minimize jet lag. Local Transportation: We use Uber or public transportation (which is typically very good outside the US). We also like to book day trips and guided tours, with good ratings on GetYourGuide or TripAdvisor, to see attractions that we would otherwise have to drive to. Insurance: A lot of these credit cards cover travel insurance and medical emergencies while you’re traveling abroad. Healthcare is also cheap in most countries other than the US. Paying for stuff: Make sure to use credit cards which don’t charge foreign transaction fees when making purchases abroad. Almost every country takes Visa and Mastercard credit cards at stores and restaurants, so we have rarely needed any physical cash. Getting cash: Never use foreign currency exchanges since they always rip you off by marking up the exchange rate by 5% or more. The best way to get local currency is to use either the Charles Schwab or Fidelity debit cards to withdraw cash directly from any ATM anywhere in the world. These debit cards don’t charge any currency conversion fees and they refund you all the fees and surcharges (usually $5 to $10) that ATM providers charge. Avoid DCC: If given the choice to pay in US dollars (or whatever is your home currency) and the local currency of the country you’re currently visiting, pick the local currency. Never choose to pay in US dollars (or your home currency) when abroad or you’ll end up paying 7% extra for Dynamic Currency Conversion. Food We went to almost 2000 restaurants in 3 years! We got the free hotel breakfasts and then ate out every lunch and dinner at restaurants. This costs us on average about $1000 per person per month. In the most expensive cities like New York and Geneva it cost up to $2000 but in other countries like India it cost less than $500 (since an average meal was less than $10 per person!) Even before we started traveling, we used to eat out or order Uber Eats every day since neither of us can cook. So by traveling we got to experience incredible authentic cuisines from all over the world! Here's a collage of some of the amazing food we’ve had recently in Peru, Colombia, Japan, Turkey, India, United States, Mexico, Iceland, Italy, England, Scotland, France, and Morocco. https://preview.redd.it/hrqa63is4iue1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bda8308da507b4a93ebb4fa79aaa9f4686eff70 Total Yearly Expenses Our combined yearly expenses including everything was roughly $70,000 i.e. $35,000 per person per year. Monthly breakdown: The average expenses per person per month was roughly $1500 for rent, $1000 for food, and ~$400 for all other things (like Ubers, shopping, phone bill, tours, etc.) Working Remotely Both of us were AI research scientists (we met at Google and started dating right before Covid). We quit Google and got fully remote jobs before we started traveling in 2021. We worked New York-hours remotely during weekdays and explore the cities in the evenings (or mornings depending on time zone) and weekends. We mostly moved hotels only during weekends or holidays. When we traveled to places with extreme time zone differences like Japan, we used all our vacation days. Settling Down We started out thinking we’ll travel for just a few months and then settle down in another apartment. But it was so much fun and not as exhausting as we thought it would be so we kept on traveling for 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it. Of all the countries we’ve visited, our favorite ones were Japan (both of us agree it’s number 1 by far), Peru, Sri Lanka, Iceland, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. Finally after 3 years, I had saved enough for financial independence and wanted to start my own company, so we moved back to San Francisco (since it's the best place for startups). I had hacked together an AI tool that listened in on all my meetings and automated a lot of my work while traveling, so I built the startup around that. But there are still miles to go before we stop! Questions? AMA Feel free to ask anything below! Edit: FAQs Many questions are being asked multiple times, so I'm compiling my responses here: How do you survive with just 3 t-shirts? I hand washed laundry every few days in the hotel sink. All my clothes are merino wool (stays odorless) or other synthetic materials that dry fast. The hotel hair dryer helps in an emergency. How do you deal with cold weather? I layer multiple merino wool shirts with the Uniqlo heat tech underwear and the ultralight down jacket. We don’t like extreme cold weather so usually hop to warm places in the winter. Is this really worth the time and effort? I spent about 1-2 hours per week booking hotels and flights and churning cards (to get the $100k value over 3 years). After the steep learning curve, it becomes quick and easy. We simply focus on just one card every 2 months, put all our combined expenses on it to quickly hit the minimum spend, freeze it, move on to the next card, and use up all those points within 2-3 months. What about taxes and work visas? I got a short-term work visa in the UK and got digital nomad visas in the EU and many other counties (exempt from local taxes). We spent less than 1 month in most countries. I reported our daily location to the tax lawyer provided by my employer and filed taxes correctly. I refused to apply for a green card, so I became a non-resident in the US and UK by traveling so much that I saved a lot of taxes and retired early (FIREd) at 29. What about data and 2FA? We got a T-Mobile family plan ($45/month/person) that provided free roaming and 4G/5G data in 200+ countries. How do you receive mail and new credit cards? Family member in the US sent us photos, then we added the cards to Apple Pay. Didn't you run out of credit cards? Having a "player 2" doubles the available cards. With some small 1099 income you can also get the business variants. Even with 20 cards, we haven't made it halfway through the best bonuses listed on doctorofcredit. Except the Amex cards, you can get most bonuses again every 3-4 years. Were there any safety issues? I grew up in India until 21 so I was used to traveling in third-word countries. My wife didn't feel safe walking by herself in Morocco, Egypt, and certain parts of East London but all the other places felt very safe. TBH we had worse experiences in downtown San Francisco and Seattle. What about all the different clothes in the photos? The photos were taken over a span of 3+ years (got new clothes and jackets every year or so). We got the suit and dress for a friend's wedding and went to the Taj Mahal right after the wedding and got the engagement photo. Did you miss having friends and community? During COVID, most of our friends had moved away and we had just started dating, so the timing worked well, it felt like a 3-year honeymoon! We stayed with family twice each year, and visited many old friends who live around the world. On many trips we got different sets of friends and family to join us. Did you ever get tired of traveling? We actually tried settling down in NYC midway but after 3 months in one apartment, we both couldn’t wait to travel again! The only reason we moved back is because Silicon Valley has the best ecosystem of investors, talent density, and founder peers so I was able to raise millions more at a higher valuation and hire an incredible team including 2 former Google coworkers as co-founders. Ironically, I want everyone to work in-person now since it makes a huge difference for an early-stage startup. Is this fake? No, you can Google “Daniel George Insider” to find articles published by Business Insider after interviewing us and verifying receipts of hotels, flights, expenses, and income over 3 years. submitted by /u/LeDraieggone to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

I broke free from the office 2 years ago. No more suits, no more commuting, no more pretending to care about meetings that should’ve been emails. Now I work from beaches, cafés, and rented apartments. My schedule is mine. My life is quiet, flexible, mobile. And yet... it’s not peaceful. Always checking visa rules. Always packing and unpacking. Always finding the next Airbnb, the next SIM card, the next stable WiFi. No roots. No community. No home base. Just motion. I’m not complaining , I chose this. But it turns out freedom without structure is its own kind of cage. Curious how others here deal with this. Do you build “basecamps” and travel slow? Or do you just keep moving and hope something eventually feels like home again? submitted by /u/YeonnLennon to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

It’s exhausting. Moving around, dealing with visa restrictions and visa runs, the language barrier, airbnbs that don’t reflect the post, restocking kitchen supplies (again), the traffic, the noise, the pollution, the crowd, the insecurity of many countries, the sly business, the unreliable wifi, the trouble of it all. It gets lonely. You meet great people, but they move on or you move on and you start again in a new place knowing the relationship won’t last. It turns out I prefer the Americanized version of whatever cuisine it is, especially Southeast Asian cuisines. We have it good in America. I did this DN lifestyle because of everything wrong in America. Trust me, I can list them all. But, turns out it’s worse in most countries. Our government is efficient af compared to other country’s government. We have good consumer protection laws. We have affordable, exciting tech you can actually walk around with. We have incredible produce and products from pretty much anywhere in the world. It’s safe and comfortable. I realized that my problem was my privilege, and getting out of America made me appreciate this country—we are a flawed country, but it’s a damn great country. Do you agree? Did you ever get to this point or past this point? I’m curious to hear your thoughts. As for me, I’m going back home. submitted by /u/Acrobatic-Area-8990 to r/digitalnomad [link] [comments]

I’m an American who has been a “Digital Nomad” for about 12 years, working fully remotely (mostly as a freelancer) while visiting 31 countries since 2011. I’m very active on this subreddit under a different Reddit name where I’m more anonymous, but my new travel project lets me be more transparent, so that’s why I’m posting under this account. There are several questions and comments that I see pop up frequently in this subreddit, and the purpose of this post is to give a more unfiltered look into what “Digital Nomading” is really like. So let’s start with one common misconception: 1) NO, YOU WILL NOT BE WORKING FROM THE BEACH (OR POOL, OR EXOTIC CAFE WITH THE INSTAGRAM-WORTHY BACKDROP) It’s VERY HARD to do any real work at these locations. Sand and computers don’t mix. Laptops don’t swim. Video calls require background silence and an absence of sun glares. Believe me, I’ve tried it. When I started traveling while working remotely, I was enamored with the romanticized idea that “Digital Nomads” could work from the beach. Realistically it’s not going to happen, unless you’re working as a lifeguard, or surf instructor, or “beach reviewer” which I’m sure it’s someone’s real job. What’s most likely going to happen is this. This is my ACTUAL work location + view today: https://preview.redd.it/jwvkkamns0da1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=99bbb8b3e6794b68e50f588fbdbfb7e06827e28f Believe it or not, this is in beautiful Barcelona, Spain. THAT’S my work view in one of the most iconic and touristy cities in Europe and the world. For most locations, you’ll either be working at a hotel, an airbnb, or a coworking space. That’s where you can do real work, and later when you’re done working, you can explore and be more of a tourist. 2) THE LONELINESS IS REAL One of the downsides of working fully remotely is that there are not that many of us around the world, relatively speaking. Obviously this has changed some after Covid, but people who can be 100% fully remote while traveling the world are still a very small and privileged minority in the global workforce. And yes, you can go to coworking locations and join meetups and participate in events with locals, all of which is fantastic and highly recommended. But at the end of the day, you will move on to the next location, and will probably do so alone or with a romantic partner, if you have one. That means that the types of connections you make (at least in my experience), are very deep because you’ve shared an unforgettable experience together in a specific country, but shallow in the sense that they move on, and so do you. These normally don’t become friends you can call at any time, but if you see them again years later, it’s like you saw them yesterday. This is why programs where people work + travel together (like wifi-tribe and the ridiculously expensive Remote Year) have been such a hit, and I suspect they will continue to be highly popular over the next decade or so. 3) IF YOU TRAVEL AND WORK, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN SOME SORT OF LEGAL GRAY AREA I see this issue come up on the subreddit a lot. Some version of “Is it legal for me to check my work email while I’m in Cancun? Should I self-report to the police, IRS, FBI, immigration, and my HR department because I’m technically ‘working’ in a foreign country?”I won’t give legal advice because I’m far from a lawyer, but I will say this: sometimes the law takes a while to catch up to the reality of today’s global economy. Practically speaking, it’s virtually impossible for immigration officials in foreign countries to know you’re working remotely from within the country, unless you explicitly tell them. (Mandatory disclaimer: DO NOT lie to immigration officials). And from a company’s HR department perspective, they will always err on the side of “definitely legal” so they’ll mostly just say “No, you cannot work from Portugal for a month, while working for us, a US-based company.”Most laws relating to “foreigners working inside our country” were written back when remote work didn’t exist, and now a lot of countries are scrambling to catch up. And this is why most “Digital Nomads” until now have done this balancing act of traveling as “tourists” while working remotely for a few weeks or months, inside the visiting country.Digital Nomad Visas are helping to create more legal clarity, but they’re still far from perfect, because most countries still don’t fully understand Digital Nomads. So they add high fees or high income requirements, in exchange for 6 month or 1-year visas, because they figure they’re losing out on tax revenue during that time. The problem is that most Digital Nomads would rather spend 2-3 months in each location, and that’s usually the window of time they have available as “tourists.”I’ve done the fast travel (2-3 weeks in a country) and the slow travel (1.5 years in a country), and the format that I like best is having a “home base” where I work from (for maybe 6 months to a year) and then taking short mini-vacations to neighboring countries. I’ve had home bases in Asia, Central/South America, and Europe, where I’m currently based for the long-term. 4) HOSTELS ARE MOSTLY IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK FROM Friends, I turned 40 last year. And in the last 10 years, I saw lots of people trying to work from youth hostels. Don’t do it, you won’t enjoy it. Hostels are fun when you’re fully on vacation, taking a gap year, and in my experience, best when you’re in the sweet spot age of 25-35. I’ve had some INCREDIBLE experiences meeting lifelong friends at hostels around the world. 5) DIGITAL NOMADING IS NOT VACATION Early in my Digital Nomading I ran into a problem of perception. Every meeting I would have with a client and others would start with “Where’s Alex now?” “What’s Thailand like??” “Will you be doing X-Touristy activity today? Because I went there for my honeymoon…”Unfortunately, this led some clients to see me as “not dependable,” or “always on vacation,” or “not really serious” about work. None of which was true, of course. The way I started describing my work set-up was “Yeah I have a 9-5 job, and then when I clock out, I happen to be in Malaysia (or Mexico, or Morocco).”But this also speaks to a mental and emotional challenge when you work remotely for the first time: YOU’RE NOT ON VACATION, even though it often feels like it. It took me a while to learn the discipline necessary to mentally clock in and out of the work day, instead of always feeling like “I’m not quite on vacation, and also not quite at work.” Which means you end up enjoying neither. Well, I hope this was helpful to someone! Happy to answer questions and respond to comments. Here are some more specifics stats and info, which I’m sure some people will be curious about: Types of job I’ve done in the last 12 years: Marketing Strategy/Consulting, Motion Graphics Animation, Freelance Writing/Content Strategy, Editor in Chief of major tech magazine. Most money I’ve made in a single year: $120k USD. Least I’ve made in a year: $35k USD (when I was starting out trying to establish consistent clients) Longest I’ve stayed in a “home base” country: 2 years in Spain (Arrived 2 weeks before Covid lockdown, and ended up getting a Residency Visa). Current Project: I’m traveling the world with my ukulele, telling stories, and raising money for UNICEF. I won’t post a link to avoid self-promotion, but you’re welcome to read more about “Trippy The Traveling Ukulele” by following the links on my profile :) Equipment: Macbook Pro (spec’d for animation and video editing), and Blue Yeti Mic (for voiceovers when I’m making animated videos). Lots of other little gadgets for helping in video production.
