If you’re reading this blog post and you follow this blog then the chances are that you, like me, are a bit of a blog addict and also probably a blogger yourself - or thinking about it!
But if the past few months back in the corporate world have taught me anything, it’s that the vast majority of people in the real world still don’t ‘get’ blogs yet alone follow any (and probably save themselves a huge amount of time in the process or waste it on something else).
Having spent the best part of 3 months being forced to take a step back from the blogosphere, I’ve had to get brutal with my feedreader and cull my feeds down to a bare minimum of the ones I really do want to read.

This is the one question friends and family ask us over and over again - and was recently asked by a new reader. Most of our friends and family don’t live in the online world as much as we do and so the concept of people trusting us enough to hand over their hard-earned cash without ever having met us (and often spoken to us) seems completely foreign.
They have a fair point…what would make you hand over money (in some cases $2,000+) to someone you’ve never met?

In the first part of this post, I covered what to do when you realise that you’re not enjoying the experience of your location independent lifestyle; we then looked at what to do when a lack of funds threatens to end your dream lifestyle and finally in this part, we’re going to take a look at what to do if something awful happens.
This is a tactic your friends and family might throw at you when you’re in the exploration and planning mode of lifestyle design - particularly something as unconventional as a nomadic, location independent lifestyle.
They’ll invent all sorts of weird and wonderful scenarios to put you off taking the plunge…
- But what if there’s an earthquake/tsunami/other natural disaster when you’re there?
