[...] How I Live and Work in Southeast Asia My new real-life friend Sean Ogle from Location180, who I’ve been spending a lot of time with the last few months, came out to Bangkok to work with Dav and Ian from the Tropical MBA, having no idea what to expect. Here he discusses the skills he’s learned and finds necessary to achieve the work-anywhere lifestyle, and talks about his income and expenses and lifestyle out here in Asia. [...]

I love reading about your success. It’s become cliche for folks back home to sit around the living room, cafe, etc. waxing about dreams of entrepreneurial success. You’ve risked “the next step” and its paid off. Cheers!

P.S.-The relationships are everything. I’m curious: how has it been building relationships with Thai, or other non-western folks? Language barrier aside, this feels like the final frontier in Asia-getting in with the locals.

Wow! Apart from reading your blog, I don’t really know you, but I couldn’t be happier for you! I’m currently working on my own location independent business (2 at the moment, actually) and my dream is to move to Thailand. My plan is to be there within a year. Maybe we can meet up and have a drink? My treat. Anyway, I look forward to reading your upcoming posts about your tips on designing a location independent business. Keep up the great work! You are truly lucky.

Hey Sean,

I was wondering what you’ve been up to out there while working on your internship. Sounds like you have come such a long way with internet business, and are on a road to much more successes… I think doing work that doesn’t feel like work is the key. That just sums up my idea of success- doing something you love and having it be your career. Who would’ve thunk this is what you’d be doing a year ago today?!

Great to get an update on your Tropical MBA experience, and fantastic to hear it’s going so well! I’m in full-out hustle mode, trying to forge a similar path for myself.

I don’t know Drupal, but shoot me a message if anyone out there needs a Rails developer.

Watch that A/C!

I quit my day job over a year ago make about 50% less than I used to make. Yet I have never been happier.

I am doing things I love doing and am passionate about.

I am definitely looking forward to your posts on your journey.

ps
You’re right, Source Control kicks ass!

Once again I found myself checking your blog, it sounds good and I hope you could go far from this. It’s like reading the world is flat from Thomas Friedman all over again.
