This is truly inspiring to me and so many others out here. I relate very much to you and am working at creating my future here on Steemit as well as living a loving free life.
Great advice and motivation. What do you do for work beside blogging here? Also where are you originally from? Sorry if you've answered these in the past but you got my curiosity running now. :)
Hey @bitdollar! I love hearing that! You know, I never in my life wanted to blog. People have been telling me for years to start writing what I am doing, where I'm going and I just never did because I didn't want it to take me out of the moment. There's a fine line there too that I am always careful of treading on.
I am a huge cheerleader when I hear people say that they want to make steps and changes in order to do what they feel passionate about so I wish you the best of luck and have a feeling you'll be right where you want to in no time!
Haha it's OK, I took some time off and I used to post a lot so digging up that info could turn out to be a chore at this point! I'm originally from Canada, haven't lived there in years though as I have been traveling.
I have never written that post yet (to my memory) so I should but I do/have done odd things along the way once I quit my job and left Canada in pursuit of this life. I've never looked back <3
That is an awesome story! I am from Canada too.. Toronto. Life sounds very interesting on your end. :)
Do you blog elsewhere besides here? I am very much into social media creation, connecting with others, continuous education and living the laptop lifestyle as you can scale massively.
So many things I connect with you on. :D
Lovely to have a fellow Canadian around (I seem to be surrounding myself with many of our geographic tribe haha) I grew up in Ottawa, we're basically neighbours if you think about it!
I do not. I am very passive about spending time online because I am often out, on the run! I tried to do the whole social media empire thing but it's too much for me. I have a few friends that are full in though.
I completely agree though, seems like we have tons to relate to! What are you doing now in Toronto (other than turning into a Popsicle?) ;)
I hear you, I am very much about staying in the moment and away from technology but very much want to create massive success and online social media is the way to scale and way of the future, so it is a tough balance.
Do you work also down there?
For me I am a real estate investor down here and in the US. That is my main focus but will be leaving in a couple weeks to Guatemala to get away from the cold, get my adventure on. Just working and hitting the gym until then. :)
Btw, do you lose health care coverage when you are gone from Canada for so long?
Definitely a reasonable goal ;)
I freelance nutritional coaching and energy work but rarely charge for it to be honest. I like lending my skills to those I can help :)
I have a little bit of a different mentality about money and success, I'm just happy being where I am and moved here for a much simpler life, giving up everything I had back home. I'm much more free now and much, much happier I'll tell you that. Something my parents will never understand ;)
Guatemala will be nice this time of year, I can only imagine how bad you must want to escape that freezing cold my mom's been telling me about... yikes. Not jealous.
Canada is tricky, it depends on how you file everything, if you go home etc. Personally, not very concerned with it but I know of some people that have lost it, yes, definitely.
Wow you are so inspiring and motivating! Love what you are doing!
Yes I can't wait to escape the cold and embrace the culture of Guatemala, I am very excited!
I think you'll love it! give me a shout if you need any pointers when you get there! Having an unlocked phone with a sim card made life so much easier down there since English can be difficult to find (depending where you are) ;)
