Welcome, bitches!
Monday, October 19, 2009 10:00So, what is this blog, and why did I make it?
This blog is a cross between a travel blog and a MakeMoniesOnline blog, because I make money online while traveling around the world. Most people seem to think these 2 things are mutually exclusive, but they ain’t, it just requires some creative thinking.
So consider this the first blog post, as well as the mandatory ‘About Me’ section.
So… I’ve made money with e-commerce websites, I’ve made money investing in small risky mining explorers, and affiliate marketing. And I’ve managed to do all this while traveling through many countries in the last few years. I don’t consider myself an expert in any of those 3 things, but I’m probably one of the few who attempt all 3 while on the road. I’ve made fortunes, and lost them and learnt alot of shit on the way, so I have much to share.
I live out of a suitcase, literally. At any moment, I can pack up all my shit in 10 minutes and be on my way to the nearest airport. As a result of this, I live a very ‘green’ life. I don’t buy too much crap, only buy stuff I need, anything I buy, I have to carry around with me. Don’t get me wrong, I like and appreciate nice things, and I like to splurge once in a while. The accumulation of nice ‘things’ is one part of the rat race I’d rather not be a part of. This kind of lifestyle isn’t for everyone, but I guess you don’t know until you try it.
My dream, is to buy a sailboat, live on it, and sail around the world. I’m not sure how this will work out, because on a sailing trip I did last year in the Caribbean, I found out I get seasick. I was stoned for the entire trip though, so I need to investigate this further. I would also like to donate more money and time to charities involving animals(tigers in particular).
There’s a book “The 4 Hour Workweek” by Tim Ferriss, he talks about Lifestyle Design and the New Rich. I’ve only flicked through the book, because after reading the first few pages, I realized the book is about how I already live my life. So it’s about changing the way you do things to increase productivity(lifestyle design), and therefore freeing up more time. He defines the “New Rich”, not as people with millions and billions, but the people who have enough money, and more importantly, the TIME to do the things they want in life.
So this blog is for me to ramble on about the random shit that flows through my head.
Another reason for this blog is for me to state my goals, so I am more motivated to reach them.
Goal 1: Create a multi-million dollar online conglomerate, that runs with very little effort on my part, so I can continue doing whatever the fuck I want, when I want.
Goal 2: Visit at least 100 countries before I die.
Welcome to my blog, bitches.
