Hi, we are Hannah and Chris, a semi nomadic (the press calls us flex-pats!) couple who work together, travel together and generally try to do as many fun things as possible to stay married. All good so far!
It’s incredible how many opportunities there are to create interesting ways of earning a living so you can have all the freedom you want. We use ours to be ‘location independent’, to travel where and when we like, running our businesses as we go. We’ve got it down to a fine art! We have a community of people taking the first steps towards being ‘location independent’, learning how to travel affordably, how to create a sustainable ‘remote’ business, what technology to use and how to include important relationships in your new way of life.
Every Tuesday we write about anything to do with love, work and play on our blog so dive in, we’d love to hear from you!
