I’ve had a total adventure over the past 3 or 4 months! Spending time in Cape Town was an absolute treat – I fell head over heals in love with Cape Town all over again and loved the time we were able to spend with our family and long-time friends. Our trip up to the Eastern Cape and the movie Invictus inspired me to learn more about our South African history, and so I’ve been re-reading Nelson Mandela’s “Long Walk To Freedom” autobiography and enjoying experiencing it with a deeper understanding, having now visited the area where Nelson Mandela spent his childhood.

Since I went through the process of converting my business into a location independent business about a year ago, I’ve been hanging out a fair bit in the lifestyle design community, learning a lot from other people who’ve been working in a location independent way for a long time, and following many of the practicing and aspiring location independent and “unconventional living” discussions on various blogs. And as a newbie to the online world, I’ve learned loads about practical strategies for making a location independent business possible, met plenty of interesting adventurers, made many new friends and had my dream machine stimulated in a big way by seeing, reading and hearing about the choices other people are making. All of this has extended my perspectives on what’s possible. Don’t you love it when that happens!?
