For those of you who have been living under a rock for the last few weeks, there is a new game in town when it comes to living an unconventional lifestyle.  Let me introduce you to Untemplater.
A few months back Jun Loayza had a brilliant idea for a community site geared towards living life in unique fashion.  He recruited some of the biggest names in the niche, and have put together one of the best new sites I’ve seen in months.
I’ve seen various sites come and go….ummm, LocationRebel anyone?  But …

Well I am currently about halfway through Asiana flight 243 en route to Seoul, South Korea.  So far the trip has been fairly painless, aside from arriving in SFO about half an hour late due to a delay on the tarmac.
NOTE: Sorry I am a few days late in getting this posted!  Between jet lag, Ayuthaya ruins with Cody Mckibben, and lack of  wifi, I haven’t had the time to post!
I was really excited to see the difference between flying a domestic airline (such as my usual United) and one of the …

At the time of this posting I am probably getting ready to board my flight down to San Francisco.  From there I will be headed to Seoul, South Korea followed immediately by my flight to Bangkok, Thailand. To say the last week (and past few days in particular) have been a whirlwind would not be doing me justice.  Between trying to see all of the people in my life who will not be venturing across the world with me, and tying up countless loose ends, I am ready to …

This is a difficult thing to admit to myself.  After swearing that I wouldn’t let it happen, and taking many precautions to ensure that it didn’t, I have been stuck in a bit of a rut for the past few weeks.  While certainly not in the sense that I am depressed or doing nothing but sitting on the couch watching TV, it is more a lack of productivity around projects that I had higher hopes for a few months ago.
If you’ve been on a set schedule for years, as I …

For the past few weeks I have been reading Chris Guillebeau’s annual review posts, and it has inspired me to do a bit of a personal review myself.  While I haven’t written a book, inspired thousands of people, or almost been kicked out of Saudi Arabia, I have been thinking a lot lately about how much has changed in 2009 and reflecting upon where I was a year ago.  If you have been reading Location 180 for awhile, you have a general sense of what I have been through, but …

Welcome to the 6th edition of the Digital Nomad Blog Carnival.  Each month writers submit their best articles about the lifestyle of a digital nomad, and the publisher for the month (in this case me) chooses the best of the best to display. If yours wasn’t chosen, the chances are it was a too far off topic to be included, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great post!  Now on to this month’s selections:
Stacey over at The Smarter Wallet, submitted a great post entitled How to Work From Home …

Since the beginning of Location 180 back in May, I have met alot of new people.  That is one of the biggest unexpected results from beginning the blog.  I never anticipated the community that would form around my site, as well as the communities around dozens of other sites out there that I would become a part of.  As you all have probably experienced, it is awesome to be able to connect with so many like-minded people, and it would have been nearly impossible if it weren’t for the power …

I’m not sure when the realization actually hit me, but at some point in the last week, I couldn’t help but think to myself “holy crap, I’m actually moving to Thailand”. I don’t know if it was finalizing the visa, or getting my plane ticket purchased, but after over a year of trying to work towards a new lifestyle, it is finally happening.
How awesome is that? I can now write in peace knowing that I am not, in fact, a hypocrite. I don’t have to read travel blog after travel …

It isn’t very often that I promote a product or a service on Location 180, but when I find something that I truly believe in, I will do whatever I can to support it.
Since meeting Greg Rollett a few months ago, he has continued to impress me with both his writing (check out his guest post “A Recipe to a Life of Action“) and the quality of …

Ever since purchasing an iPod touch a couple of months back, I have been obsessed.
While I still think that iTunes sucks, and is even worse than I thought it would be, the device itself is the best purchase I have made in years.  Most of this is due to the sheer amount of quality applications that are out there for it.
Since I have become a proud iPod owner, I have been constantly seeking out the best, most useful applications I could find.  Whether they are time killing games, or productivity …
