It has never been easier
to live and work abroad. If you are self-employed and work online
there is nothing to stop you. Why nor sublet your apartment for a
few months and live abroad in a fascinating (and potentially cheap)
destination? Here is a list of all the things that make long term
travel super easy:
Have your home post rerouted to friend (or commercial service)
who scans it into a Dropbox account for you. If a friend does it,
buy them a multi-page scanner for this.
Get a professional agent to manage the sublet of your apartment
back home
AirBnB for renting longer term accommodation (especially for
whole apartments)
TripAdvisor for short term hotel stays
Cloud services for file storage (e.g. dropbox, google
drive)
Clound services for backup (e.g. Crashplan or Backblaze)
A small scanner app on your smartphone for scanning any paper
you need to keep (receipts etc) when abroad
Get your online banking set up for all the transaction types
you will need to do
Get your Credit/Debit cards set for use abroad
A password manager (e.g. LastPass, 1Password) for your online
passwords
An E reader (e.g. a kindle, iPad) to enable you to read as many
books as you want while you are away
A lightweight laptop for your work
A Smartphone with a nice camera for taking pictures and getting
online
An external encrypted drive for local storage/backup
A podcast about living a life of your choosing. Topics covered include financial independence, productivity, entrepreneurship, peaceful parenting, minimalism, and rational thinking.
