Travels with my laptop

When is the last time you or your family took a vacation? If it has been a while and you can’t escape out of the country to go mystical places such as Machu Picchu or go on location to learn about famous art areas such as Gaudi’s Barcelona, then there are plenty of alternatives to do with your family right where you are.

You guys can plan on going to the beach. When summer is near you know it is time to hit the beach. It is the perfect place to go for a swim, learn to surf, or to lounge and sun bathe all day long. The family can have endless games of soccer, volleyball, or football. The beach is also a good place to bring you dog. The Zoo is also another great option for children. I personally love going to the zoo to also see the giraffes and monkeys. If you and your family haven’t been to the zoo this year I would highly recommend adding this to your list of fun and inexpensive things to do. If the beach or the zoo has already been done on the last several months, then you should plan a hiking trip. Hiking never gets old, and you can make it a learning experience as well. Hiking, no matter where you live or what country you are in, you can almost always find good hiking trails.

If you can’t find it within your budget to plan family vacations every year, there are always creative ways to still go on vacations with your family even if you stay in your own country, state, or even your own city. You and your family could also start a travel blog so that it can make it a more interactive experience, and it will stir the excitement much like if you were going somewhere exotic.

I am afraid I have sadly neglected this blog in the last year, However I’m now back with lots more ideas for future articles so hopefully this site will evolve once again into a useful resource within the next few months.

I’ve been living in Bali, Indonesia for the last 8 months and have a new perspective on trying to earn a living from your laptop when you stay in a foreign country for several months, rather than travelling and moving on every few days. Lots of information for expat freelancers on the way!

So many apologies for my extended absence but we will be back – bigger and better than before!

Yes, it’s another travel blog. Oh no, what will we do! Well I for one, can never read enough random articles on surviving as a backpacker, how to plan a round-the-world trip and top 10 unusual destinations. So, I thought I would add my own slant on things to the mix.

This blog will be focused on general travel and backpacking topics but also about making money while travelling, particularly from freelance web design, writing and other ways of making money from a laptop in the middle of nowhere!
