I left a very good SW Engineering job in London, travelled for 3 months, pimped up my 2013's side project for 3 months and started selling it. Now I have created a company around it, been profitable for months. Now I carry my boss-less/office-less job around the world as a Digital Nomad. Happy new year from Mexico! My side project that became my job: https://readonlyrest.com

I wish such boss-less/self-employed/self-sufficient traveling was more available for developing country citizens as well (with a relatively lower rank passports).

Where did you travel? About to set off on a trip of roughly the same length in Europe. Any recommendations?
