One HUGE white elephant about location-independence, no one wants to talk about is how hard it is to work on the road. When you’re traveling full time without rushing from place to place, it’s OK, I guess. But when not, or when you hop from one city or country to another, it sucks! You have to make a choice between seeing a sight and sitting in your hotel room in front of the laptop. It’s a hard choice. Or between a beer/cocktail and mineral water. Even harder. 🙂

In all seriousness, you do lose money when you travel, even if your flights and hotels are free. And it’s not the food or booze, it’s that you’re less productive. At least, this is how it is for a freelancer — it can be different when you have a blog or two that double as your personal ATM. 🙂 #envyagain

In reply to Dhammer53. Hear, hear! One does need a week in the area, and more to explore Cuzco. And must stay at that amazing SPG property in Urubamba, what's its name again? #lazy

Gracias Senor Enrico

I really miss those angry rant type of days. But it was getting too much man, my health was being affected…it was relenteless….i needed to cut them off. Life is indeed brighter without them. I know I am not missing much at all. They like it too. We move on.

Devil guy writes very well, I really like his writing. He does cover stuff you do not see in any other blogs. Notice I did not say fT or Reddit 🙂

I miss the old TBB days….when I am super bored, I click on a random old TBB post and just laugh out loud…”did I really say that?” kind of laughs….My grandkids will be reading them one day and do high fives!
