I’d like to start with a humble apology. I really haven’t posted much in the last month. There are many excuses I could make. Instead I’ll simply say that I wanted to enjoy a month-long trip in Europe; without feeling pressure to do work.
This leads us to the topic for today’s article…
Much has been said about the concept of the Internet Lifestyle. For some, it seems like a dream come true. With a laptop and a wireless connection you can work from any spot in the world. Take a look at any advertisement for a ‘home based business’ product. Odds are you’ll see shots of ordinary folks “working” while living in a warm, tropical paradise.
With all that said, I think there’s a dark side to this lifestyle. What’s not talked about are the many hassles that occur while running a business out of a backpack.
I’ve traveled for about 11 months in the last two years. That’s 46% of my time working while being on the road. During this time I’ve learned that are certain negatives to this lifestyle: [click to continue…]
Last Monday marked the completion of my seven month journey through Europe. This trip was an incredible experience where I learned a lot about myself and what I wanted to do moving forward in life.
Today I’d like to talk about these lessons. Some of them are unique to my situation – While others will hopefully provide some guidance in your own life. I can’t say the entire trip was positive.

I’m writing this post from Bratislava, Slovakia.
To be honest, I was a little hesitant to come here because the only things I knew about this place come from a few movies: Hostel (Parts 1 and 2) and Eurotrip.
Both portrayed this place as an example of a backwards, “evil” Eastern European city. The truth is this is a great city, full of cool and interesting people. [click to continue…]
Growing up, I used to love watching videos on MTV. (You know before they stopped playing videos) My favorite type was always the ones that showed the musician(s) in an exotic location doing something cool, while playing a song. [click to continue…]
It’s widely known that the best part of travel is sharing memories with other people.
So what do you do if you’re traveling by yourself?
Well, the simple answer is you make friends.
The problem is it’s hard for many people to form friendships when they’re solo and outside their comfort zone. [click to continue…]
As most of you know, I’m a self-employed America who live the “lifestyle lifestyle,” traveling through Europe for 7+ months.

In addition to maintaining the Steve Scott Site, I run my own affiliate marketing company.
It allows me to work nearly anywhere in the world as long as I have the ability to carry my laptop with me and connect to the internet.
Since embarking on my trip I’ve received emails from several different people that are also interested in visiting other countries. The common denominator of the emails was suggestions on how to survive financially while being away from home. Although it’s what I do for a living, running an online business is not the only way to support yourself while traveling—in fact, I’ve met quite a few people with unique work abroad jobs.
