6 months as Digital Nomad in Chiang Mai...
Quitting your job, leaving everything behind and becoming a Digital Nomad in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This is my story, no fluff, no sales pitch, just my genuine experience...

Remote working is all the rage at the moment, everyone wants to work from home. The idea that you HAVE to go to the office every day is absurd to the new generation.
You're probably thinking, damn I hate this remote working, it's so boring and lonely. I just want to go outside. But... there is a huge difference between what is considered remote working and what we're experiencing right now...
As a web developer, it's fairly natural for me to work remotely. I’ve done it on and off for many years, sometimes for months at a time. At times it’s tough, but normally it’s very productive, as long as I plan to be productive, the problem is... We’re alone when we remote work.
The story of how I got my very first freelance position online working out of Chiang Mai.
I'm what people call a Location Independent Freelancer.
I write awesome code and my clients are happy, they don't mind where I am in the world as long as the job gets done.
This has given me the wonderful privilege of living in both Chiang Mai, Thailand and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
