Welcome to the Office Odyssey!
Jack in, wire up, drop out! The internet is all about freedom -- freedom from soft-walled cubicles, freedom from bad coffee, freedom from rules that just don't apply anymore. Why do you need to be in a corporate business park when there's a whole wide, wired world out there?
The short answer is that you don't. Two years ago, I cast off my office-bound shackles, packed my life into a backpack and a laptop computer and hit the road. Since then, I've been a digital nomad, traveling around Europe and North America while working my regular job as a technical writer for a software company back in California. So, yes, I'm still in the rat race. It's just that where I'm at, there aren't any other rats. Well, except for my lovely wife, Kristanne, though I’m not sure she'd appreciate the comparison.
Want to see what it's all about? Want to feel the excitement of a three hour download over a 9kbps modem connection in Sardinia? Check out the episode guide from our year-long Office Odyssey through Europe and see if there might be some Extreme Telecommuting in your future, too.
