You can never go wrong with travel. It will expand your mind, take you out of your comfort zone, and change you as a person.

I like to travel slow. At least one month in each place. That gives me enough time to rent a place for a month, with is cheaper, and to really get to know some people.

Don't bother doing freelancing until you have to. But if there's a side project that you'd like to work on, do work on that!

I've been spending 3 months in Cape Verde, loving it. After that don't know where i'm going. Indonesia maybe?

Travel travel travel, travel as much as you can! :)

I've been doing this since October & loving every minute. I still work full-time (remotely) as I don't have savings, but just being in new places has really changed my outlook & actually made me more excited/focused on the work I'm doing.

I freelanced for a bit via sites like We Work Remotely, then I found a full-time, remote role. I earn a SFBA market wage too, which actually means I am saving more being in countries with a much lower cost-of-living, than Sydney (where I was from) or SFBA itself.


I'm curious to know how do you find places to rent for a month.


Airbnb, Flipkey, VRBO, Homeaway are all short term/vacation rental sites.


frbo.com, airbnb.com are good starts.


How do you financially support yourself?
