After more than 10 solid months on the road I’ve recited the following diatribe more often than Chicken Little thought the sky was falling. I’m not at all complaining here – I get a real kick out of the look on a person’s face as they realize that 1) I’m not crazy, 2) Nope, not lying either, and 3) I really DO travel for a living. What people love best is the fact that I’m doing it because I want to… but I can work along the way when I choose to.

Pretty much sounds like freedom doesn’t it? In many ways it is. And I want to help you achieve this kind of freedom because it’s easier than you think. Especially for freelancers.

The Ultra-Condensed Guide to Perpetual Travel via Freelancing

Now don’t expect me to unearth the Holy Grail here because I can’t. There’s a lot that goes into crafting this lifestyle and traveling perpetually pretty much plants you squarely in the unknown on a daily basis. However, in my case, that’s exactly why I do it! And whether you want to just get up and go one day for however long you decide… or you just want the freedom to take little trips whenever you choose… don’t wait until you have it all figured out. Just get up and go and trust that the universe will fill in the gaps with exactly what you need along the way. Ain’t that a trip!

Here’s a fantastic little travel trick I picked up from my best friend and fellow traveler Rachel Rofe:

It’s easy to get as much as 50% or more off of your nightly rate at hotels and resorts. I’ve used this trick to stay in four-star resorts with nightly rates of $200 for just $54… a Best Western in Flagstaff AZ for just $30 per night… and so on.

This requires embracing a bit of flexibility as you can’t choose the specific hotel you stay in. But as long as you’re comfortable with any hotel in a specific area (and you can choose the quality of your hotel), then this is ideal for affordable travel.

How I Got a Free First Class Flight, the Best Vacation of My Life, Finally Started Writing My Book, and Experienced Utter Bliss!

I shared in my last post that I was writing it on my flight home from Cancun, Mexico. What I didn’t share was that I wrote it from my seat in First Class, which I had gotten free simply by asking and allowing.

Let me explain. I believe in the power of the Law of Attraction. Not because one can think a thing and then it appears, or that if I tell myself something enough that it will come true. But rather that I can produce a frame of reference, a way for seeing the world, where at a gut instinctual level, I have learned that I get what I attract and am responsible for everything in my life – if not the event, then my reaction to and perception of it.

I’ve used the Law of Attraction in serious ways to build my business and attract healing for my grief. I’ve also used it in playful ways to make a left turn when the traffic onslaught is unending or to rent my choice movie when it’s been rented clean out for days on end.

And I found, while vacationing in Cancun, that there is an entirely higher level to the process that I “tripped into.” For lack of a better term, I’ll call it Flow.
