20 Photos to Inspire Location Independence
Monday, February 13, 2012
Location independence according to wikipedia is a lifestyle design that utilizes new technology to allow people to live and work wherever they want- be it from home, the internet cafe, on the beach, or even from the other side of the world.
Right now, we have access to technology that can help build communities, online businesses and reach out to a global audience. With a laptop and decent internet access, ANYONE can just work and travel their way around the globe simultaneously!
Did that thought just send shivers down your spine like it did to mine?
You can earn a living off of your website, write and take photos for publications, pick up a few odd jobs here and there and choose among these 64 possibilities from Corbett Barr. You can even do fruit picking, volunteer at an organic farm or put on those medical scrubs. And I'm sure you're creative enough to add more to the list!
But what does it mean for me?
Being location independent means I have the freedom to finally travel to wherever I want and not have to go broke in the middle of a backpacking trip, stealing food from a $2 buffet table in a closed off country with no banks. True story.
Few of you may know that it's been my goal to be location independent this year.

I've been wanting focus on things that matter most to me and be able to continue traveling for longer periods of time. I'm slowly getting there, but not quite yet. I'll share my journey towards location independence and making a living doing what I love very soon on my new blog: Passion in Action.
But for now, I've asked a few friends to share photos of places that inspire them to take that BIG step towards freedom, passion and location independence. This is our small way of inspiring you and each other to get ready for change and live life on our own terms.
We hope you are reading this, Universe. Enjoy!

| Disneyland Hong Kong by Eileen Campos by Possibly Pinay
Here you can see we Eileen and her daughter at the magical Kingdom of Disneyland in Hong Kong. Just moments away from their Hong Kong hotel is where their fairy tale adventure started. Visiting this park was a great idea for this little family. They were able to snap pictures with their favorite Disney characters and ride fun whimsical rides.
No matter what age you are or where you’re from, Disneyland still has a way of bringing out your inner child.

The picture of Pinoy Adventurista reminds me of the place I grew up when during typhoons those tall grasses looks like waves...Mabundok kasi sa Quirino province kaya yun ang ini-imagine kung ocean waves :))
