Monday 27 June 2011
OUR WAY OF DOING IT
Monday 27 June 2011
First step★ Figured out what we wanted in life.★ Read ‘4 hour work week’ and checked the side info★ Downloaded a budget planner ★ Chose destinations (gut feeling + internet available)★ Started planning★ & Saved money (by selling stuff + asking 4 money
instead of presents
Monday 27 June 2011
SECOND step★ Figured out a job to do remotely / Checked for
grants / gap year subsidizing / ...★ We went to the accountant and asked what is
possible★ Went 4 cheap tickets (Airstop / Connections) and
checked early booking★ We told our clients we were leaving. Prepared
them (and our family). Installed Skype on their PC
Monday 27 June 2011
THIRD step★ Found a hostel / hotel / couch for some days
(couchsurfing.org, booking.com)★ Went on the local craigslist for apartments /
checked the ads in the newspaper★ Found locals through twitter / couchsurfing★ Got a local mobile number + connect it to
nomado.eu ★ Found ourself an office / café with wifi

SOME OF AFTERTHOUGHTS
Monday 27 June 2011
THE HARD STUFF
★ You just can’t do it all. You’re not a tourist, you have a working life and are not on vacation. Although many people think you are.
★ Tourist stuff is expensive. Very expensive.
Monday 27 June 2011
THE HARD STUFF II★ Starting over and over again is tiring. Rather choose
for 6 months than 4. Don’t underestimate the practical stuff you need to learn (which supermarket to go, find an apartment, postal office)
★ Language is a deal breaker: we made easily friends in S Africa. Thailand and Brazil turned out to be hard due to the language.
Monday 27 June 2011
THE HARD STUFF III★ Some countries are not what you thought they would
be. Argentina turned out very expensive. And too big for weekend trips. And for that reason not that exciting for us.
★ Difficulties can put your relationship under stress. Most important: Keep on talking. Respect each other. Give each other space.(We survived and the relationship became stronger.)
Monday 27 June 2011
THE HARD BUSINESS I★ Working needs discipline: It really helped us to have
an office in Buenos Aires. We became much more productive
★ Headphones are a must ★ Good internet makes a hell of a difference, although,
not having it all the time makes you more productive
Monday 27 June 2011
THE HARD BUSINESS II★ Clients that were difficult at home, are difficult on the
road.★ We didn’t do anything illegal, but for what we did, there
wasn’t any real regulation...
Monday 27 June 2011
THE GOOD STUFF★ We did it! We really did it. And it worked! We had an
amazing year.★ We were able to focus on the things we wanted, like we
had in mind. ★ We travelled a lot. Really a lot.★ And we came home with more money than we started.
