Sourced from Location Independant and written by Jenn Miller

It’s a reverie all of us digital nomads share along with those who aspire to be:

Mornings spent working in a hammock under a palm tree, or dialed in through the omnipresent high-speed internet at the cosmopolitan coffee bar on a tree shaded, cobbled street.

Afternoons spent on cultural diversity, perhaps pursuing a passion for languages or photography, maybe slipping a snide “wish you were here…” postcard in the mail to our old office mates back home. Read more

Written By Simon Black at www.sovereignman.com

I am a frequent reader of Simon’s site and on occasion will be posting some of his articles here. He offers great advice for living an International Lifestyle especially regarding obtaining second citizenship and International investments.

Enter Simon Black:

I was on the phone with a major bank last night. As usual, I had to navigate their automated phone system hitting ‘zero’ until my finger turned blue… I was finally forwarded to an offshore call center where the representative was more keen to follow the script than to actually help me. Read more

The freedom to work from anywhere is a wonderful benefit of being an internet-based freelancer.

But what if your significant other has a career that is paper intensive and demands constant face-to-face interactions?

This was my situation when I met my soulmate Rebecca four years ago.

I’d been self-employed for years and was used to traveling and working. Rebecca was an attorney working for a law firm that required frequent in-person meetings and court appearances. Read more

Freedom Files Interview with Alain Denis: “Riding The Dream”

This is the first of my Freedom Files interviews.. I met Alain Denis while traveling in Florianopolis, Brazil.

One night, Alain and I were chatting over  a few Caipirinhas (a popular Brazilian cocktail) and I became intrigued by the fact that Alain had been traveling for more than three years, consecutively, without ever going back to his homeland. (Canada)

Immediately I knew I wanted to capture this guys story and make it the intro to my new Freedom Files series.. It was very inspiring to meet him and see how excited he still was after three solid years on the road. Be sure to check out his video above and also his photography in the interview below.

Enter Alain and Nate…

How I Switched From a PC to a MAC…

I have been thinking of switching to a Mac for a long time. I have owned at least 10 PCs in my life, and sadly nearly all of them have succumbed to viruses and spy-ware.

This year I  had bought a new Compaq because my Gateway crashed. And not even four months after buying it, my Compaq was running so slow from some virus it had that I finally made the decision to make the switch once and for all.

Initially the biggest thing that was holding me back was learning the new OS (operating system) because at the time I had so many other things going on and the last thing I needed was to take on another learning curve.

What I found however, is that the Mac is much better organized and easier to use than the PCs I owned. If you commit to spend a half a day going through the basic tutorials,  you will probably have a better idea of how to operate you new Mac than you ever did on your PC. That was my experience anyways.

The best thing about having a Mac is that it has made everything I am doing with my travel blog tens times easier. All the media programs like Imovie, Itunes, Iphoto etc… make publishing and keeping track of media files so ridiculously easy. Needless to say, I will never be going back. Check out the video to see how I finalized the transition. I know it’s cheesy. but hey, it gets me traffic!
