- Please share at least one experience where you lived/worked in another country. The more specifc details you have, the better you'll help everyone else.
- In the Spring of 1997, I travelled abroad to Spain for a semester long study for my International Business degree. I was there for 6 months. Although my semester was paid for by my student loans, I had no spending money. The only way I could enjoy tapas and cerveza with friends was by finding a job. 'nativa da clases de ingles por horas' I posted at all the universities. For approx. 7 USD/ hour I taught private English lessons, all in all I had about 6 students. I wasn't certified, being native was enough. The best way to learn your own language is to teach it! I had a blast and my nights out were much more affordable, and I met some of the best people, made it through challenging times, and felt I could take it as a skill with me anywhere.
- What other websites or resources do you recommend?
- www.escapeartist.com

- What factors do you consider when you want to live abroad? Consider - weather, quality of life, etc.
- Weather is most important for me! I need hot sun for the beach, but I don't like humidity!! I want big city with great transportation and diversity. I want healthy food, great entertainment, and easy to get along. Langauge doesn't matter, I'll learn it.
- What kind of work do you do, or what would you like to do? Example - I am a software developer by day, but I'd love to blog about scuba diving in Belize.
- I am working for a startup in Operations, I would rather be working part time from the beach in Costa Rica with an online business, and the other half of the time I would be surfing.
- If you had a plane ticket in your hand right now, what would be the destination?
- Dubai

Laptop Travel, is it a dream?
Ever since we created mobile technology and the ability to communicate across borders, remotely, we have dreamed about traveling without quitting our jobs.
