Travel is the best form of education.

Traveling has always been a huge part of my personal growth. As many of you know who follow me, I'm a big fan of self-development. Traveling forces you to get outside your comfort zone and explore new cultures, languages, perspectives, and people. The entire experience of traveling allows you to see and appreciate different ways of living and being.

I've never met anyone in my life who said that they regret traveling. It's a win-win, even when you encounter challenges along the way. For this reason alone, I believe that traveling is one of the best things that you can do to get to know yourself, others, and the world at large on a deeper level.

The reason why I'm able to travel, work and make money is that I've built a successful online business. My business provides consistent passive income every single hour of the day. Hence, I'm not trading my time for money. This means that I can run and operate my business from anywhere in the world. All I really need is my camera, laptop, phone, and WiFi access.

From personal experience, I can say that having this kind of freedom has been life-changing. The beautiful part of it all is that ANYBODY can create a laptop lifestyle. Perhaps the most dominant influence of the evolution of the Internet has been the creation of new jobs and a change in the nature of jobs that already exist.

Today there are limitless opportunities for you to create life, on your terms.

You don't have to be confined to a 9-to-5 office job or be tied down to one location. You can be location independent. Imagine how your life would be if you could work from anywhere in the world, and make money doing it? If I did it, there's no reason why you can't do it too.

We are so blessed to live on this incredible planet. There is so much to see and do. I don't know about you, but I don't want to come to the end of my life and feel like I missed out. At the end of your life, you won't remember the days when all you did was go to work. Rather, you will remember the magic moments when you stepped outside of your comfort zone and took that epic trip that you always dreamed of.

I'm originally from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. There was a time in my life when I was living in downtown Vancouver in a beautiful penthouse, yet I still didn't feel fulfilled. Why? Well, eight months out of the year the weather was lousy. Don't get me wrong… Vancouver is amazing but a lot of the great stuff to do in that city is outdoors. When it's raining all of the time, people don't want to go outside and socialize.

This lifestyle felt really limiting. I was too comfortable. Can you relate?

I was craving an escape so I started traveling to tropical locations during the winter months. The biggest things that I love about traveling is the variety and adventure that it brings. It provides a huge amount of excitement and passion in my life. If I'm going to work, I may as well work poolside, looking out at the beach! There is so much more fun to be had in new destinations because everything is new.

However, there are some challenges that come with traveling the world. Firstly, when you travel to a new destination every week or month, you're constantly on the move which can cause you to feel ungrounded. There's always an adaptation phase that you need to go through. Although this can be exciting, it can also be exhausting.

Time zone changes and jetlag can negatively affect your daily routine. I've gotten a lot better at managing this, but it's still something I'm trying to master. In order to combat this challenge and connect back with comfort and familiarity, I travel back to my 3 home bases, which are Panama, LA, and Vancouver when I feel called to.

Another challenge with traveling is living out of a suitcase. When I travel I try to be a minimalist in terms of how much I bring. However, there are times when I wish that I had more at my disposal. I'm a big fan of biohacking so I really enjoy having my technology with me. However, I can't always bring those things with me. Also, if you are someone who loves to eat healthy and organic food, sometimes it takes time to find high vibe food options in certain countries. This is why I like to hire a chef or find meal delivery services when I visit a new place.

The last challenge of traveling is feeling disconnected from your social network.

When you travel consistently, it's hard to maintain solid friendships. Luckily, my  fiancée, Tatiana and I have one another when we travel, but we still miss our friends. You can still make new friends when you travel, but a lot of those friendships are short-term. Hence, you miss out on the depth of connection that comes with having your tribe. This is why traveling can feel lonely at times, especially if you work alone.

This isn't how I want to live for the rest of my life. Rather, it's just a stage and that' s great! I've been grinding and hustling for years now to build my 7-figure online business. Today, I'm in a stage of pleasure and enjoyment. I want to enjoy the freedom that comes with living a laptop lifestyle. I know that I'll look back at this time and have zero regrets. Trust me when I say that the advantages of traveling the world far exceed the challenges.

This is what it's REALLY like traveling the world.

If you have the desire to travel the world while making money, don't wait until tomorrow or the next day to take action.  Close your eyes and visualize the kind of life that you want. Now open your eyes and start creating your reality today!
