Tips and Resources for Round the World Travel and Career Breaks

Tips and Resources for Round the World Travel and Career Breaks
Welcome to the Legal Nomads Resources page. When I quit my job in 2008, I feverishly researched what I would need to pack, plan, and budget for a round the world trip. I did not find many world travel resources on the web at that time, so I cobbled together notes of my own. This long resources page is available on Legal Nomads freely, but it will soon be possible to download it as an ebook, along with additional resources for digital nomads, for a small fee. Pre-trip Planning 1. While I always caution against planning your entire itinerary, it is essential to do some basic research about the area you plan to visit. Research the Weather. Resources: The Traveler’s Handbook, Travel Independent’s country guides. The Culture: Part of what makes the world interesting is to explore a country through its cultures and customs. Start with the links below and then filter by destination. 2. 3. Vaccinations: Yes, you need them. Medical insurance. PDF copies of your things to yourself. What to Bring? 1.

About Christine Gilbert (that’s me) is the author of almostfearless.com and has been traveling overseas with her husband Drew Gilbert since 2008. That’s a long time in travel years. I used to be a corporate manager until I got my dream job in Boston, felt restless, decided I needed a complete life-reboot and jumped at the first idea I had: to become a writer and photographer. So… I bought a camera! I sold our stuff! Then we had a baby. Cole at five months. We kept traveling! One day, we decided to film a documentary about other people who had quit their jobs and decided to work online while traveling. Christine & Drew. Three months later, Drew lost his job! We are as surprised as you. What now? We finished filming the documentary, I am working on a book for Gotham/Penguin that is due to the publisher in 2014 and Cole hasn’t lived in the US since he was four months old. At the moment, we live in Mexico. Whirlwind? What have we learned? Where We’ve Traveled Contact Christine

Cost of Living in Chiang Mai, Thailand If this were a tell-all book then this would be the point where you gasp in shock and awe – she’s going to lay it all out on the line for what it costs to live as an expat in Thailand? Really and truly? Okay, perhaps it’s not quite that exciting, but, even my mother last week on the telephone couldn’t help but dig for the nitty-gritty details on how much I pay to live in Thailand. As a traveler, I’ve always heard that it’s so incredibly cheap to expat yourself in the developing world–and it’s true, it’s cheap! I’ve paid rent in both Orlando and Los Angeles, and my Thailand living costs have averaged at least one third of my previous living expenses. Let’s first look at the hard costs, then I’ll go into what each element translates into in terms of what I get for that price! Total Cost for a Month Living in Chiang Mai, Thailand These are my baseline costs – or rather more fixed monthly expenses. Not included in this price are the visa runs you’ll need if you’re on a tourist visa. St.

Welcome 4-hour-work-week readers My name is Benny Lewis. I travel the world and hack languages When I was 21, I only knew how to speak English. But now, 11 years later, I’m a polyglot—a person who speaks over a dozen languages (including Spanish), and I run the world’s largest language learning blog, where I write about travel, languages, and productivity, and share my stories and language hacks with millions of people like you. My new book, Fluent in 3 Months, discusses how I learn languages so quickly. 11 Non-stop years of travel My focus when I take on a new language is to speak with natives. On my 10 year anniversary I made this video about my life lessons learned from those travels, which is an expansion of a blog post I wrote on my 8 year anniversary that went viral. On my blog, you’ll see a lot about travel, whether it’s my favorite countries, strange habits I’ve adopted from travel, or finding love on the road—I cover it all. What I do now I try to help as many people learn languages as I can. Want more information?

Give us a hand and Learn Greek on Spetses Island, Greece ****We are not sure if we will be able to host any helpers this year at all. but if we do take someone it will be only be for august so please only send if you are available for 2 weeks in this month. Thank you We only need one person at a time to help us in the hotel since there is not actually that much work. Small family run hotel, very relaxed and good atmosphere (we like to think).
