In 2007, I spent six weeks in a hostel in the middle of Guatemala just “because”.

Truly, I’d never felt so free.

The two years prior had been spent working like a donkey, with good people but in a field I hated.

The endgame? Admission to the Supreme Course of Queensland as a lawyer.

It was an accolade I spent 7 years working towards..

Only to quit, 6-weeks to the day later.

And so, there I found myself in a computer shop in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, on a steaming April afternoon checking my emails when my brothers friend messaged us on Facebook.

“Wanna come visit?” – he wrote, “I’m just down the road in Guatemala!”

We looked at each other.

Of course we would. It wasn’t even a QUESTION.

We were free. The world was our oyster. And we could do anything, be anyone, go anywhere!

And so it came to be that I ended up spending the best, most carefree, most FUN 6-weeks of my life living out of a backpack in a dingy hostel dorm room in Antigua.

Acutely aware that I had opted out of life for a little minute, and feeling grateful as heck for it.

Five years later, I started my online business chasing that kind of freedom again.

And on the surface, the promise of it all felt..  intoxicating.

Time freedom – to work when I wanted!

Location freedom – to go back to Central America, or London, or ANYWHERE BUT HERE!

Financial freedom – to make more than a doctors wages working on the goddamn INTERNET!

I wanted it.

The sense of adventure.

The possibility.

The wonder that came from not knowing what would come next.

The Tuesday afternoons spent outside (and not in an air-conditioned cubicle)

ALL OF IT.
