Hi friend! Well, I'm a lawyer and I work in finance, and I'm based in New York City and I work remotely and I live wherever I want and do pretty much whatever I want π I've been traveling around the world the last 5 1/2 years in South America Europe Southeast Asia and the US. Thatβs the scoop π another good post btw

Work remotely, that's something I really want to do when I grow up! Can't wait to try that one day! Are you self-employed? As a world traveler, what is your favorite spot (or list of spots)?
Come join the digital nomad revolution bro! I really love Bali, Medellin (Colombia), Budapest, Brazil, it's hard to pick favorites really but if you or others reading this are looking for an amazing entree you should check out Freedom X Fest, which starts in mid-August and goes for a week in the Pyrenees mountains in Spain, it's going to be an amazing outdoor festival of digital nomads with amazing speakers and events and networking, a total blast. I'm not putting it on myself (though I am going), so here's a link to it: https://freedomxfest.com/
Ah, that sounds awesome! I'm from the Netherlands so it wouldn't be too far to go there. And it's also a great excuse to do some climbing/hiking in the Pyrenees :) Ticket prices are quite steep though :s
I'm going to Europe within the next week or two, possibly will get up to Holland this time but I'm not sure. Anyway maybe you can join something else, there are tons of events coming up like Nomad Cruise, you and also check out Remote Year or just take a trip to Ubud Bali and throw yourself in, the community there is out of this world welcoming, and people are making awesome careers they love while eating everything organic and vegan, it's a sweet yoga/spiritual vibe and a massage or two every day for $5 each lol. I'm also thinking about Steemfest in Toronto in September :)
That is a sweet kist of stuff! Keep me posted on your plans in Europe, who knows.. In toronto you would be able to see @coruscate do a talk there I believe. Im curently working toward finishing a PhD. After that I can go wherever! Just a little while longer though before that happens :)
yep, i woulnd't mind working remotely too:)
Well done sir, you must have worked your ass off to get there. I hope to have the same liberties someday after working my ass off to earn it.
Most of the world is super inexpensive man! If you're into it just go to Bali or Medellin and build your business there while spending 90% less and living a super high-quality lifestyle :)
WOW! what's the place which amazed you the most?
It's hard to say! every place is so unique, but I really love Bali, Medellin, Brazil, Budapest :)
Wow... I hope i get a job that allows me travel anywhere i want to. Your job sounds like fun, being a lawyer and working with money, lol.
keep steeming,
@soorefunmi
Thanks, I agree! It's a wild, wonderful old world. Keep steeming as well :)
I like the idea that you live wherever you want.. you just nailed life! Its probably a dream job, you work what you love and you get to go to places. Enjoy your life, you are at your prime.
Speaking of Asia, in what countries are you planning to visit?
cheers!
Thanks for the kind words @maquemali! I was just in Manila in April for the second time, love it there but I definitely need to explore the rest of the country :)
wow really?! yes do come back for the 3rd 4th and 5th times haha.. there are a lot for you to discover..
So awesome that you get to work remote. My husband does too, so when we got tired of California, we looked at what we really wanted and what kind of life we wanted to experience with our kids and chose a beautiful place in the woods. We do get a lot of snow in the winter, but between his working from home and homeschooling the kids, it's just part of the adventure! However, we recently took a long vacation to visit famiy and he was able to work as he pleased, so we could be very flexible so long as he had internet available. :-)
OH YES!!! Working from heme remotely has such grand advantages! Looking forward to when my husband retires and we can travel s little or move more rural and I can continue working from home.
Sounds like a beautiful spot you and your husband have chosen out in the woods, have you posted any pics? I'd be interested in the snowy ones. I use the remote work to travel but it's really about being location independent and going/being where you want and living on your own terms. Some call that the definition of retirement :) Good on you!
Yes, we decided we did not want to wait for retirement to live the life we wanted. π
I'll have to find a better snowy photo for you, but this is what I could find on my phone. That's my view from the house, beautiful trees & Mountains. But in the summer there are tons of lakes & rivers nearby for kayaking and fishing. π Best of both worlds.
Beautiful
Thank you.
Man you're living such a glorious lifestyle and like @maquemali said you've definitely nailed life. Kudos!!
Thanks @ange.nkuru! Hope you're having a killer life yourself! :)
Not yet as much I want but I know it's coming and I have a feeling steem/steemit will have it's hand in it happening. Stay movin and Steem-on @jarotondi! :)
Man you're living such a glorious lifestyle and like @maquemali said you've definitely nailed life. Kudos!!
We must exert ourselves for what we want with our lives and make the best decision to our happiness.
Absolutely. I'm in the midst of reading "Atlas Shrugged" and what you've written ilnes up with the theme of the book!!

Thanks @endless.drugs! I've only been to Santiago in Chile, but I just googled Iquitos, isn't it in Peru? :)
