About the Book
Up until recently, the words work and travel were about as complementary as timecard and boarding pass. Traditionally, you went to work and if you did it long enough and well enough—that is, to bank some savings and vacation time—you might get lucky and earn the means to travel. After a brief holiday, with your savings usually greatly depleted, you went back to the same old grind.
Luckily, times have changed.
The Nu Nomad is a “how-to” manual for those who are serious about breaking out of the rat race and into the world. This resource includes information on all vital aspects of designing a location-independent lifestyle. Sections include:

Why This Book
There are a couple of reasons why we've written this book. We, as well as most of our friends and associates, are travel junkies. Moreover, we’ve lived that other life—so many hours working, so few hours traveling, so few hours enjoying life. And, like you, we’ve asked ourselves, “What’s wrong with this picture?” Well, we’ve found a way to integrate travel with our various professions, reducing our total work week and getting more out of life in the bargain. Fewer work hours. Environments of our own choosing. More money in the bank. That’s why we do what we do.
We know first-hand how difficult it is to leave your life as you know it behind, and take the leap from the 9 to 5 grind to a Nu Nomad lifestyle. Taking even a month-long vacation is not easy and preparing for a six-month—or longer— trip can be daunting, let alone trying to incorporate work into the mix. However, through this book, you can benefit from our experience, as well as that of other Nu Nomads. We are living proof that you can make your dream a reality, and do it without unnecessary aggravation.
So if you're ready for a change is scenery—a change in life—let The Nu Nomad be your guide.
