So, I should probably introduce myself a bit. I’m Laura as the site name would imply and I’m currently traveling the world while working at the same time (with a boyfriend in tow). I’m not doing this through any particular program (e.g. remoteyear, etc) although I’ve certainly considered them.
Originally, I wasn’t planning on working quite so regularly while traveling, and this trip was supposed to only last a year. Along the way though, I was offered a fairly long contract which meant that I could travel for a lot longer. I’m not sure how long the travels will be in the end, but I’m not tired of the traveling lifestyle 10 months into it yet so we’ll see.
Now, you might be wondering, why start a blog 10 months into the journey rather than when it first began. I didn’t really have a topic that I felt particularly compelled to write about when I first started traveling. I’m not all that interested in writing about seeing a new place or summarizing my travels; plus, there are a lot of travel blogs out there that you can read for stuff like that.
The other part of it was that I spent the first 6 months or so really just relaxing, spending a lot of time with family, and generally enjoying the freedom of setting my schedule around mostly things that I wanted to do. Once I signed the contract to work though, I quickly realized that finding places to work out of was not the easiest thing. That’s when I decided it might be worthwhile to compile a list of places that I’ve found nice to work out of and maybe some other tidbits along the way such as ratings of climbing gyms in different places. (Yes, remoteyear would solve this issues, but that’s a topic for another time)
At any rate, I hope you will find this site useful 🙂
