Great article Roman. Too often the location independent lifestyle is romanticised as a solution for escaping discontent. Also, I really hate quitting the corporate 9-to-5 and “working on a beach” is made to look easier. Like you mentioned, sometimes you’re working harder and can possibly become more stressed even if you’re working from a beach in Bali.

I think, a lot of thought needs to go into making the jump and most importantly, understanding that it doesn’t stop being hard work just because you’re not at an office desk any more.

[…] Lifestyle design can often be an extension of the misconception that tweaking career and location will create lasting satisfaction. It’s nothing more than aimless movement dressed up as progress. ~Roman Locke, What Lifestyle Design Really Means and How to Make It Work for You […]

“Travel [is] a quantifiable indicator.” I like that. Best of luck in your endeavors.

Having lived and worked out of a backpack for the last year, this post really spoke to what I have been going through for the past two or three months. My travels *really were* a “search for external satisfaction masquerading as ‘living life on [my] own terms.’” Not that I was complaining, but I found that I escaped the corporate world to do what I wanted to do, and travel was a quantifiable indicator of accomplishing that goal. Unfortunately, the work that I had been doing was getting stale, and I surely didn’t want to continue working with the same client in the same capacity for another year—even if it meant living out of a hotel on a small beach in Nicaragua.

My solution? Well, I’m setting down roots a little bit. Not abroad—I’ve fallen in love with a tiny surf community on the California coast—but my rent is surprisingly cheap, and I’ll be using that as a base to travel around to the Americas, Australia, and the other side of the Pacific. I’m also working with a handful of local tech startups, and will be launching two more businesses in the next three years. Technically, I’m still a digital nomad. But I’ll be near home a lot more over the next few years. And that’s 100% OK by me
