After more than two years of being homeless and travelling around the world, I feel like I need to share my story.

It all started in 2014, when I felt like I needed a different environment. The Netherlands was never really good for me: debts, drugs, stress… I knew I needed to leave and start over.

So, I decided to do a Google search: ‘work abroad in Europe’. First hit was a job in Bulgaria and 2 weeks later, I left.

The idea was to go for 6 months but after just a few days I just knew; I’m never coming back.

Bulgaria is far from the greatest country in the world, but to be around people that think and feel like I did, that was incredible. Expats are a different kind of people (but.. more on that later).

After 5 years, 4 promotions in the pocket, running a team of 100 people in our call center, I decided to take a leap of faith and I booked my first solo travel outside of the EU: to Thailand.

That’s the first time I met true backpackers and digital nomads. They are a different species.

Where expats (and locals) tend to complain a lot about the country or place they’re living in (because they are tied to one location), backpackers and digital nomads are all about love, happiness and freedom.

I had already been dreaming about becoming a digital nomads for a while, but it seemed like something only an experienced developer or someone with a university degree could do.

When sitting at a bar discussing work and life with these travelers, I was proudly talking about my job, but they kept telling me things like:

- Why work for a boss your entire life? What do you get out it?
- Why leave after just 2 weeks (my boss did not allow me longer holidays) if you can stay here with us?
- Why have all the stress and none of the freedom?
- And more and more…

So I asked them what they do, and I was amazed by the answers. They were translators, customer service agents and more. Obviously some of them had a more difficult job (legal, finance etc.)… but most were living this lifestyle with 0 skills.

I felt like those were people I really, really connected with. The same interests, a true love for (solo) travel, deep conversations, crazy parties.. I hated myself for leaving when I had to go home, while they were gonna continue into Cambodia, Malaysia etc. I remember crying while driving to the bus station on my scooter, that’s how much I hated it.

When I got into the plane I just knew.. I need to resign. So when I came back, I did a few weeks of preparation and I just quit. My notification period was 3 months, so I had enough time to find another income. Like all those people told me: there’s always work.

Then corona hit. It felt like a nightmare, but that’s not what happened.

I was in constant doubt it it was the right time, if I should not stay in my comfort zone where I knew I was not gonna get fired and I was earning a lot of money.

But it was my dream. I finally decided to stop dreaming and start doing. Even with the constant doubt in my head, I went for it. My dreams are more important than anything on this world and if it means I have to fail, I’ll gladly do so.

As I became a freelancer, I found out life can be pretty hard. You can get fired at any point for any reason. No notification periods. You could literally go from earning 4k+ to 0 the next day.

So, before I really left my old company, I knew 1 job is not going to be enough. My goal: find as many part time jobs as you can.

After two weeks: customer service job nr 1
After three weeks: customer service job nr 2
After four weeks: translating job nr 3

Lesson: Finding work that allows you to work remotely is fu***ng easy, even if you don’t have skills. You just need to know where to look, that’s all.

When I meet people or tell my friends about what I do, I always hear how lucky I am. And while I’m very grateful for my life, it has nothing to do with luck. It’s a choice. The only ‘luck’ is that I don’t have kids (yet), still looking for a mother 😝.

Now, I’ve been travelling for more than 2 years, there are amazing people around me at all times, I am learning and earning more than ever before, and most importantly: I have total freedom.

Today, I’m no longer a freelancer. I own 3 businesses (of which one is a tour agency in Colombia, how crazy is that?!) and nobody can tell me what to do.

Only I decide when I get out of bed, when I want to travel or when I want to party. And I could never go back to someone telling me I only have 20 days off a year, never.

And I think nobody should have to accept that. It’s just not necessary in this time we’re living in, not anymore.

I wrote this for two reasons: to (hopefully) inspire some of you & to find out what stops you from following your dreams?

Are you happy where you are today, or do you secretly dream of travelling the world while working in the coolest coffee bars or mountain tops on your laptop?
