Wow you need to get some bigger dreams. LOL New York is the center of the universe. People come here to succeed and strike it rich, not drive trucks or taxis. Nothing wrong with blue collar work, it's honest and needed. But most New Yorkers aspire to better lives than driving trucks or selling drugs.

Big cities are nice for a while. But in the end i just want a quiet beach/island and good internet and some good bars with latin music. There are thousands of people working online while travelling to these places. I meet them in Thailand and see them back in Colombia. Haven't seen New York yet, high on my list, but only for a few months.
Also nice to relax without all the people complaining about politics. I will see what will happen here, government has many problems and maybe extreme evangelist people will take over. They have their own army already... if that happens, i just move on.. While if you are in Holland and want to stay there you can complain for years, nothing will change anyway. In Holland there is 1 fart about muslims and everybody gets crazy. But nothing will change cause in the end people vote for the same politicians.

I actually agree with your views (and others here) about traveling and working online.
I do it myself. In fact, the truth is if I didn't have family here in NYC I would probably live on a beach somewhere and we could discuss this in a hammock over some beers. LOL
The Internet has changed everything and if you work "online" then you indeed have total freedom. Someday I will retire to your fine looking beach!
