Our primary mission here at Location Independent is to help, support and enable more people to become location independent - and we have created a range of our own products & services to do this. However, there are plenty of other valuable resources out there which, from time-to-time we review and then recommend by giving the LIP Thumbs Up.

We award the Location Independent Peoples' (LIP) Thumbs Up stamp to resources we think are exceptional and are produced by do-ers and not just talkers (or bloggers). You can be confident that the things we do recommend are high quality (no sleazy schemes or scams here) and will truly better enable your location independent lifestyle.

Where noted (*), we have used an affiliate link but you are under no obligation to use these. If you have a resource that you'd like us to review, please submit your information here & we'll be in touch.
