Do you dream of becoming location independent so you can travel around the world and work from wherever you want?
Or maybe you want to make some extra income by freelancing but have no clue where to start? Well, you’re certainly not alone, and definitely in the right place! On my blog, Square Hippe, I document my struggles as a complete non-techie to create a location independent lifestyle. In July 2015 I had no idea where to start, there was so much conflicting advice out there, so many “simple” guides to becoming a digital nomad. So what did I do? I set myself a challenge. I was going to try out ALL the different jobs that I could do without a tech background and document my progress (and earnings) along the way. I invite you to join my Digital Nomad Job Challenge: 12 jobs, 12 months, 1 big dream!

January’s income report? Are you crazy? It’s April already! That’s true, can’t argue with that. Remember all those New Year’s resolutions I set myself? Well, I’ve been busy sticking to them, that’s why I haven’t posted in a while. Haha, just kidding. I’ve neglected...
Why The World Isn’t Really Built for Nomads (Yet!)

How to make money as a digital nomad translator
Now before I start, I know I’ll be excluding a lot of people from this job as not everybody speaks two, or more, languages. I’m very lucky to have been raised bilingually (German and English) so I got a free language thrown in and didn’t even have to work hard for it....
