valentin··on Ask HN: Living overseas with a profitable online business
This article is pretty interesting: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/aejc4/i_work_through_a...

"I started freelancing in LAMP development 7 years ago. 4 years ago I started taking camping trips around my own country (Australia) & working via Wifi/3G. I soon started making little overseas trips, which got bigger & bigger. In November 2008 I sold my stuff & 'left'; I haven't been home since. I usually work 1 hour/day thanks to the weaker currencies of most places I visit. In richer countries, I work 2-3 hours. 3G modems & hotel WiFi keep me connected, an Australian SkypeIn # forwards to the mobile of whatever country I'm in at the time, Skype lets me call clients when necessary. I'm currently in Nepal having just got out of Tibet. I'm trying to get from Singapore to London without any planes (southern route --> SE-Asia->China->(Tibet)->Nepal->India->Pakistan->Iran->Turkey->Europe). AMA."
