I like the flexibility to stay somewhere if you like it, or move on / return home if you don't. Good luck! Cool Tony, sounds like a nice plan.

I'm currently full-time technical writer, but I work from home. The deal is I can work from anywhere in the world that has an Internet connection. My girlfriend Ana is a nurse, but she now works as a contract nurse, giving her complete flexibility. In the future I'd like to work fewer hours, and maybe do some contracting from time to time, so that we could travel. We're traveling to Philippines next year, and may end up spending quite a bit of time there. The "Sales Guy" is right - there are so many different opportunities it can be overwhelming. Nice article.

However in years past and when I had a young family, Outside Sales seemed a pretty good compromise to me in that it offered flexibility and little or no office time required.

We often meet kids who are on extended sailing adventures with their parents, and we wonder what the kids will think of the trip when they are older. I would guess that they will appreciate the trip and look back on it fondly, but haven't heard from anyone first-hand until now. Cruising for at least a season is definitely on my list. I'm not sure I would enjoy it for four years straight, but I can see the attraction. Hey Sailor Girl, I’m glad you commented here.
