Recommended Tools and Resources

UpWork is a freelance marketplace where I find the majority of my freelance work. It’s also the first place I turn to whenever I’m looking at hiring other freelancers.

Elegant Themes is a premium WordPress theme provider with which I’m subscribed to. Their Divi theme is my go-to when building client websites due to it’s easy visual builder tool.

Although it’s not as crazy cheap as it once was, AirBnB is still our #1 choice for longer-term stays or when we want to rent out an apartment instead of a hotel.

The world’s most famous ride-sharing app. We use Uber virtually everywhere as an alternative to Taxis

Udemy is a massive online course marketplace that I use to find courses on any number of topics. (Courses I’ve taken on Udemy are mentioned below)

Skillshare is a similar platform to Udemy but with a very different business model.

Consider Skillshare the ‘Neflix of e-learning’. You pay one small subscription fee each month and get access to their entire library.

I’d especially recommend Skillshare for those looking to learn creative skills as that’s the area in which I see teachers shining on the platform.

This book is an absolute must-read for anyone considering the digital nomad lifestyle. No book has inspired more digital nomads than this one book and although written in 2007, this book has opened up a lot of people’s mind to the possibility of what many consider the new way of doing business.

Probably the most influential book I’ve ever read. A great framework living an extradorinaiy life, one where you create your own rules and pursue your own personal mission. Highly recommended!

The squel to ‘12 Weeks in Thailand‘ and a book which I found very relevant for living a location independent lifestyle specifically in Thailand. I enjoyed reading Johnny’s open and frank discussion about how he got started in online business.
