I Stepped Away from My Business for a Month. Here’s What Happened.
A few days ago, I slept in my own bed for the first time in more than a month.

The Secret Truth about the Digital Nomad Lifestyle
I’m about to tell you something that most travel and lifestyle bloggers are afraid to say.
I’m going to reveal the truth about the “digital nomad” lifestyle.
The term “digital nomad” (or the phrase “location independent”) refers to people (like me) who have the freedom to work from anywhere on the planet with an […]

I’ve been in Costa Rica for a week now; a few more days until I fly out.
Believe it or not, I came here for work. I spoke at a blogging workshop for the first five days, at the invitation of a publishing company. About a dozen attendees came to learn about blog writing […]
How Forest Travels the Globe … While Running a Business from His Laptop
At first glance, Forest doesn’t seem to fit the profile of a successful entrepreneur and world traveler.

I’m not talking about houses that are actively under construction. And I’m not talking about decrepit old houses that need to be torn down.

Renting out a vacation home is one step away from running a hotel.
You Saved $128 Million by NOT Buying a Picasso! (And Other Strange Comments)
During my two-year round-the-world trip, Will and I spent hundreds of nights camping in Australia. We camped nonstop for about 7 months, or 210 consecutive nights.

Or not.
