Let’s start off by ending a myth:

“Traveling is expensive”

It’s not.

It’s just inconvenient to make money while you travel.

So often times, you travel just to spend.

If you decide to do a world tour and it looks a little like this:

But, if you want to earn money online living like this:

Originally from UK, I’ve been living in SE Asia for 9 months.

Then spending a lot of money doesn’t have to be the case.

And it doesn’t just “look cool”.

There’s a reason Tim Ferriss’ book “The 4-Hour Workweek” talks so much about so-called “lifestyle design”.

People in countries such as Thailand (where I’ve lived on-and-off for the last 9 months) are happier, healthier, and overall live better.

Compared to the UK where I’m from, the cost of living in Thailand is much lower.

Meanwhile, the quality of living in Thailand is much higher.

Coming to a total of ~$800/month.

Here are some options:

But the reality is, you can’t do any sort of meaningful deep work if you’re moving every few days.

So, pick your location for a month or two, and lock in.
