Totally agree with this - I’ve been working completely online and travelling around Spain, India, Thailand, Morocco, and Mexico for the last 3 years, and while many parts of it are fantastic, I really do miss that regular contact with family, old friends, and community. So life on the road isn’t all wonderful (nothing ever is).

Hi, Cody,

Nice, inspiring video. A good introduction.

I’ve got a lot of question floating around my head as a result of listening to you and thinking about this topic for a while now. Let me pass on just a few to get started with:

1. I’m 54 yrs. old, but with a heart that is caught up with the vision I see in many Gen Y’ers. Can this work for a old man? I’m starting to do a lot of writing and am looking to make a move toward free-lancing probably within the next few months.

2. What are the legal issues involved in traveling abroad as an ex-pat? How long are you allowed to stay in the countries you visit? What are the logistics involved in extended stays in the countries you are living in? What are the tax implications you’re having to deal with as an ex-pat? etc.

3. How do you approach the language and cultural issues you face as you travel? How do you find places to stay? How do you approach learning the language? How do you research the culture you are about to visit to learn what to do and what NOT to do? etc.

Well, that should get things started? I’m sure I’ll come up with a load of other questions in the future. I appreciate your willingness to share your expertise and your vision. I wish you all the best and look forward to your answers.

Nice job on the video Cody - I too usually don’t like them, but it was very watchable. Hope to see you in Bangkok early next year
