@BadBoyBob

Trust me I would rather feel like a geek, and be a true digital nomad, than be a tourist reliant on others. Keep it up.

As for the offshore accounts. We use HSBC Premier, they are fantastic. From a base account you can add accounts anywhere in the world, including offshore in Jersey, where we are. You can have accounts in any currency. The great thing is that you manage them all from one web page, transferring between accounts etc. Our accounts are based in London, but they are international.

Email me on mail@travelsofanearthpilgrim.com if you need any more detailed information.

All the best

Graham

I really like this personal and useful list. I feel a bit of a geek packing a wifi router but when you don't have it and your life is run via the web, you really see the value.

As for the money side of things, I'm looking at getting an offshore account in dollars, euro and pounds so was wondering if you had any experience or tips in this area.

Thanks.

That is it exactly. Reward comes from intention and effort with a touch of divine grace. The most important aspect is intention. What do you really want?

This is very interesting…never heard of this concept before. I guess the point that I draw out of it is that you can live your life almost any way you want and you can make it work if you really want it to. So good luck to you and thank you for your interesting post and creative lifestyle!

I am going to post in more detail about the office. Simply, there is an office in London that runs a virtual office business. I used to have a physical office there. It is my address, so all my post goes there, and it is my landline phone, so my calls go there. They open and scan my post and email it to me and they email me with phone messages if they can't get me on my mobile. They keep stuff there that is posted, like parcels, so when I am in London I go and collect. They would send it on if I asked. I pay for this service.

Great list!

I have been debating keeping my house as a home base, but it seems to make more sense to rent it out.

As for storage, my wife and I are keeping small stashes of things with family in different parts of the world. The rest we are trying hard to get rid of. I hate being so attached to things.

A portable wifi router is a fantastic idea that I haven't thought of.

Do you have a permanent office somewhere? You mentioned you send things back to your office.

Good list, Graham! I use a CPAP now, also, and carry a GoodKnight 420G which runs on 12 volts (about 500 mA and my pressure setting).

In 1993, in the cusp between my decade of traveling on a computer-laden recumbent bicycle and the start of the Microship project, I wrote a piece along similar lines called “First Steps to Technomadics.” I updated it in 2004 to reflect changes in technology. It is here:
