Wendy - Australian traveler, a passionate skier and much more

I'm Wendy from Melbourne Australia, but I haven't lived there for more than eleven years now. I love winter sports, languages, travelling, exploring, writing, animals and chocolate of course. I moved to London in February 2000, then moved to the French Alps in 2002, then hopped between Cambridge for summers and the French Alps for winters until moving permanently to France in 2005. I've moved house ten times since then.


1) Tell somethingt about your life before and the reasons why you have become location independent.
By my early twenties, I'd become a city worker who spent more time commuting and working than enjoying life. I needed a change so I decided to move to London for a year to see where my life would live. I had no expectations but lots of hopes for travel, work and a full life. Those needs have kept me away from home for much longer than a year!

Inderjeet Mani - Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Sri Lanka, and India

I am Inderjeet Mani, a traveler, writer and computer scientist. I was born in India way back in 1955. My passion for exploring faraway places developed during my childhood, when my family lived in different countries (we had homes at different times in Germany, Sweden, Nepal, Sri Lanka, India, and Mauritius, from where we explored many of the surrounding countries). I also discovered the satisfaction of writing early in life. As a student in Europe, I also traveled a lot by backpack, sleeping on trains, buses and in the odd youth hostel.  Later, I 'settled down' (how I hate that term) and became a university professor as well as a scientist at IT companies in the USA. Whenever I got a chance to travel and hike in different parts of the world (mainly in North and Central America, Europe, and Asia), I did, recording my impressions in travelogues along the way. Some of my travel writing is found at manitravel.wordpress.com . I also authored six books, details of which are at my website: http://sites.google.com/site/inderjeetmani.

Charlie - Dj and Web designer based in China and a huge passion for travel

I'm Charlie, a 29 year old designer, music producer, and DJ.


1) Tell something about your life before and the reasons why you have become location independent.
I got bored of living in my hometown and experiencing the same things over and over. After too much repetition, I wanted something different. Completely different. China was the most different place I could think of, so I went there.


2) How did you plan a new life as a location independent?
I didn't really have much of a plan. I just went. After I arrived I found many more opportunities than I had imagined.


3) What is your job or source of travels funding?
I spent years DJ'ing and doing freelance web design and development. The last 8 months I've been working with a small but talented group of engineers, developing iPhone and iPad applications.

I hadn't started out wanting to be location independent. In fact, it wasn't until a couple months ago that I realized it was an option for me. I have always enjoyed working for other people but if I want to continue traveling I have to  become an entrepreneur.
