Back in my cubicle days I used to dream of escape and jetting off to foreign shores. I’d already spent just over a year traveling around Australia and SE Asia. But that just whetted my appetite for seeing more of what’s out there.
A few years have passed since then, and whilst I’ve left my cubicle I still have yet to dust off my backpack and do more globe trotting.
Well, that could be about to change.
In a few week’s time I’ll be flying off to live in Malta for a few months, initially on a trial basis to see whether living abroad harms my ability to secure new clients.
But should I be able to carry on attracting enough work, I’m hoping Malta is the first of a few pins I can stick in the map.
One of the big attractions of freelancing had been the dream of being able to work from far flung places and fit work around my lifestyle.
If everything goes to plan, it’s one dream that could become a reality.
