Work-at-Home—but Abroad!
Laptop Hobo is a new resource for those who wish to take their "at-home" jobs with them while they travel and live abroad. We’ll share with you what we know about the process of going from work-at-home to work-anywhere-you-damn-well-please. We can even help you if you do not have a “work-at-home” vocation, or haven’t traveled anywhere before. Sound good? Excellent, please read on.
It is the belief of the Laptop Hobo that with all there is to see and do in this wonderful world of ours, but constrained with the sky-rocketing costs it takes to maintain living comfortably in highly developed continents (namely as North America and Europe), there are now fewer and fewer reason to stay put at home just because you have a well-paying vocation. With today's Internet capabilities you now have a choice. You can continue to make money from your (generally well-paying) home country, yet spend it in the country you wish to experience. Should it be a country far less expensive to live than your's, then you have learned to beat the rat-race. Not only is this form of remote working a sound and creative business opportunity, it is an opportunity worth living.
We're Building a Network of Laptop Hobos
We at Laptop Hobos understand—perhaps better than anyone—how very difficult it can be to leave the world you work and live in to journey around-the-world. And it was only a few years ago that if you wanted to remain traveling (without a fat bank account at home) you had to work in something abroad that was less than rewarding and well paying. That has all changed. It is our purpose to help make your dream life a reality, without unnecessary aggravation, and hopefully within your timeline. Inside Laptop Hobo are resources from how to develop an income using the Internet, to what to pack in your travel bag. All you need is (more or less) the desire to do so, some general skills, and the time. And before you know it, you'll be "hard-away at work" in a hammock that's over-looking the Andaman sea (or something like that. You get the picture).
Our New Web Resource
LH is in the process of gathering content and we welcome any insights and resources you might wish to share with us. So, please keep returning as we evolve into the full-service web resource we hope you'll find indispensable.
Our Ethics
First of all you should know that Laptop Hobo is not a shopping portal or yet another travel-related website for the purpose of luring buyers and holiday makers to access merchandize. The "product" of Laptop Hobo (and its companion site, Nu Nomad) is information—info that has been carefully considered and made available to you. And when we recommend a particular product or service, we do so because we like that product or service. This does not mean, however, that we are not taking advantage of "pay-click" commissions. We do, and we hope it will be a win-win situation for all. As for privacy, please rest assure that we will respect all information provided to us.
So, what's in this for us?
Primarily connections, ideas and community. We saw a need for a place for Laptop Hobos to come together, and we are meeting that challenge.
In closing, your input and feedback is important to us. Please feel free to contact us, join in on one of our Forum sessions, or contact the founder of Laptop Hobo, Richard (Ricardo) Hamel.
Have a great journey!
