This video was very inspiring. I already work from home and would love to travel more so I was thinking of doing something similar... also never knew there was a name for it and that it was actually a thing :)
Originally when I watched your video I was thinking to myself "She sounds like she truly enjoyed it so then why did she end up moving back?" but I guess you answered that at the end. That just leaves me with one question which my programmer mind refuses to allow to compute...
You said that you went to Thailand because the cost of living there was so cheap. You worked for yourself and eventually went back to Australia where, I presume, you continued to do the same work you did over there. Here is what I heard you saying:
We went to Thailand where the cost of living is very cheap and then worked for ourselves.
After we ran out of money we returned to Australia and did the same job but in Australia we were able to save up enough money to go again
We then went back there and continued to work for ourselves and eventually decided to settle in Australia and just keep doing the same job but from here.
The parts that confuse me is that your job stays constant but the country with the low cost of living makes you run out of cash while the one with the higher cost of living allowed you to save up enough to return. Also, it sounded like you really enjoyed it yet, instead of getting your own place with an office in the country with the cheap cost of living, you decided to return to Australia to have an office there. Am I to take away from that that you are saying being a digital nomad is a fun thing in the short term but not something you would recommend for the long term?
This video was so inspirational that when you mentioned the 4 hour work week I thought to myself "Who needs to read that book when they can just watch this video? Inspiration obtained!" ;) ...but, yeah, those two questions are giving me a headache trying to figure them out.
Can't wait to hear back from you
