Hello world!
Welcome to NomadicNeil.com!
In this blog I’m going to share my journey from being tied to one job and location to earning the majority of my income over the internet and so giving me the freedom to live, work and play where I choose.
In 2005 I went backpacking around the world and spent 18 months working and travelling through South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada. Along the way I realised that living that life was a lot less expensive than I had previously thought. Two friends of mine were earning an income over the internet and pointed out that they could live and work anywhere that had a decent internet connection. The idea was planted in my head but I decided to move to London in order to help a friend with a business idea. It turned out that we weren’t really suited as business partners so I decided to get a job.
Before I knew it another year had passed and I didn’t feel like I was moving towards my goals or desired life-style so I decided to again focus on earning money online. At the same time I started saving money and came up with my escape plan which consists of:
1. Start working on making money online
2. Save up enough money to last me a year without any additional income
3. Move to a cheap country and dedicate myself full time to making money online
That’s about it. I’m coming up to stage 3 of the plan and over the next couple of months I’m going to document the process here.
