Work from home? Live abroad

May 18, 2007 by Tricia

You know, due to my illness, I’ve been stuck at home for almost a year and a half now. Since I stopped getting sick pay from my workplace almost a year ago I’ve had to find a way to bring in some money so that we could continue to own our lovely home and pay all of our bills.

It’s been hard, but for those of you who have been reading this blog you know that I’ve managed to do quite well as far as creating an income that we can live off of through the internet. I’m at the point now that I think I’m actually making more than I did when I worked as an ER nurse.

I know that several of the people who read my blog have also found ways to make income from the internet. Either through creating their own businesses or doing work here and there for a multitude of internet related companies.

Have you ever thought of Living Abroad? I mean, if you are making a great income from work that you do through home, or your home based business there’s no reason that you can’t do it from any place in the world. Is there? Heck, if you choose to move to the right country you could even be making a tax free income and thus have even more money to live off of. This is beginning to sound more and more appealing isn’t it?

Where would you go if you decided to pack it all up and work from home?

I know that I’d probably enjoy living and working in an exotic location. Someplace that was fairly warm year round, and in my case it would also have to have a decent health care system since I have Crohn’s disease. Hmmm Maybe a country such as Australia or Belize would work for me.

Naturally if I were really going to pack up and move to an exotic local I’d likely end up having to buy a property abroad as well. At this point, we’d have to either sell the home we are living in now, or rent it out in order to do this, but it’s a thought isn’t it?

I’ve never been to visit Australia or Belize, but the thought of being able to work from home in one of those locations is very appealing. If we could manage it, I’d try to get a home close to the ocean and beach. Hey, since I work with my computer alone, I could perhaps even sit on the beach each day as I got my work done. Oh that’d be so nice.

I’d miss our Canadian Spring and Autumn because I love watching how the seasons change here, but I don’t think I’d miss our cold, cold winters all that much.

If you work from home, have an e-business, or have a dream of being able to work from home where would you want to live and why?

If the idea of living abroad and working from home is appealing you should visit the Living and Working Abroad Resource website that got me thinking of living in an exotic local. You’ll find articles discussing immigration laws, health care, advantages of living or retiring in other Countries and a whole lot more.

Do visit the site. It’s good to dream, and you never know, by reading the Living and Working Abroad Resource website you may find a way to make your dreams a reality.

    That’s true. There are places in the world with a better quality of life than the one we are living in.

    You can enjoy your life by doing work from home if you choose the location according to your interest. I like your choice that you want a location near beach or ocean, it will be nice to enjoy your work while sitting on a beach.
