A key piece of the digital nomad lifestyle falls into place when you discover how to travel the world rent free by house sitting. This guest post is contributed by Ros Cuthbertson. Ros and her husband, Alan, have just returned to their base in Chiang Mai, Thailand after 5 exciting months of House Sitting in London and Beyond. Both Australians in their 50s, Ros and Alan lead two very different lifestyles: for most of the year they enjoy living in the city of Chiang Mai, but, like us, they also Continue Reading

A Year of Full-Time Travel Q&A
A year of full-time travel experiences in the books and we're not ready to quit! These are the most frequent questions we get and their answers. We recently had an anniversary! A year of full-time travel has flown by, so it was kind of a shock to realize we’ve been “deliberately homeless” for that amount of time. Along the way, we’ve routinely been asked similar questions, no matter what our location. So we thought it would be fun to celebrate our anniversary with a quick Q&A Continue Reading
Behind the Scenes at PassingThru
A detailed look at what's working for us behind the scenes at PassingThru. Consistent effort, no complaints and lots of fun keep us focused beyond the fray. Clusters of blog posts cycle to the forefront from time to time about the difficult realities of life as a digital nomad. A recent spate went on from this to cover what a "real" blogger who writes about travel should or should not be doing. All rather predictable, and best taken with a grain or two of salt.

Become Location Independent: Ultimate Guide
When we became location independent, we didn't have a blueprint. The Ultimate Guide to Become Location Independent is exactly the resource we wish we'd had.

It started with a list of travel blogs we respect. Then our internet went out and it became instead about story, memory and the intransigence of lists. It's a funny thing when the internet goes out on us, the digital nomads. At first, we get all cranky and disjointed. There are items which will be left unaccomplished, lists that go unchecked, schedules that fall behind. There isn't a thing you can do. The internet in this part of Malaysia has been wonky ever since the floods two weeks ago. Off Continue Reading
Dealing with Paperwork on the Road
Dealing with paperwork on the road can be a real challenge for the long-term traveler. Our system isn't perfect, but it's working out pretty well. One of the most problematic issues for long-term travelers can be dealing with paperwork on the road. When we had a home office, it was easy to lapse into a pattern of printing statements, receipts, emails and documents and transferring them into files. We had a nice big lateral file cabinet with lots of space to fill, other file drawers in our Continue Reading
