It used to be people just dreamed about working from home. But with technologies like laptop’s, nationwide wireless broadband, and Skype, some people just live wherever they want.
Sounds like a plan!
From Business Week:
Whether they take to the road armed with suitcases, laptops, cell phones, and Skype accounts, or settle in at a vacation destination every summer, this band of mobile-preneurs has learned to communicate and support each other with virtual communities like NuNomad.com and LaptopHobo.com. Several of them e-mailed their stories from around the globe to Smart Answers.
Carmen Bolanos, co-founder of NuNomad, is an executive coach based in Texas who travels several months a year with her family. “In 2000, I was a psychotherapist getting started in private practice when I came upon the profession of coaching. I soon figured out that since coaching was traditionally done by telephone, I could close down my brick-and-mortar office and work from home,” Bolanos wrote in an e-mail (see BW Online, 03/12/07, “Telecommuting Now and Forever”).
