I thought it was about time that I mentioned the down side to this working and travelling life that has consumed me over the last year and a half.
Don’t get me wrong when I say I am still enjoying what I am doing and feel very fortunate to be given this level of freedom. I just thought it would be useful to mention some of the negatives.
One such negative I suppose is always being on the move. I guess this is just like normal travelling when you become tired of constantly moving on. Similarly moving on from a place means moving on from friends that you make. This again is something else that normal travellers experience.
I also have very little structure in my life at the moment; in fact I have no structure whatsoever! This is not so much of a negative as it is quite easy to reverse this by staying put in one place (like I did in Auckland and have done in Bali).
On the work side of things I do find working on my own not so fun anymore. I had a job before where I could work from home three days a week and once the novelty had worn off I actually looked forward to going in to the office!
Well I do miss the social contact that a normal job brings. I would be a liar if I said I did not.
So ultimately I will be going back to a job that does not involve working so much on my own. Of course I am never alone when I travel. It’s actually hard to be by oneself!
I will continue to work on my sites while they are providing me with an income. Perhaps I could sell my sites one day but it’s still a great (paying) hobby as well as being a constant challenge. So why would I?
I have been somewhere for the last few days without mobile phone coverage so apologies to anyone who is waiting for me to get back to them.
