Dropped out, but no drop out.
Anthony's office is no longer at the end of an overcrowded train journey. Over the last six months it has been where he has chosen. His office is a cafe by the beach on a tropical island, a cool hill station in the mountains or an airplane at 30,000 feet.
Anthony Page (Working Nomad .com) was in 1995 sentenced to life in the corporate world of information technology. After 7 years of labour he was let out on parole for good behaviour and then started to discover our wonderfully diverse planet through independent budget travel.
In November or 2003 he was returned to inside the prison walls of the City of London and once again found himself in a suit and at the mercy of big business. You need funds to travel and Anthony's only way to make money was to do what he knoew best and what society deems correct.
Temporary escape from the rat race was not enough and Anthony started to seek out ways of maintaining an incomve independently and remotely. Not being chained to office politics, bad coffee machines and long English winters was his target and dream.
In October of 2005 Anthony left an autumnal Heathrow Airport with a backpack, a laptop, a small income stream from his web sites and a dream. He set out to travel around Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand entirely funded by income from the web.
Anthony's trip has been a heady concoction of free wifi spots, making many new friends, living the tropical island life and the odd 13 hour bus journey with angry teams of Indonesian huskers.
He has managed to find the perfect balance between adventure travel and building up a sustainable income and has proved that the Internet is truly changing the the way people can live their lives.
Six months and seven countries later Anthony is still living his dream as a 'working nomad'. Over this period of time Anthony's income from web sites has trebled and he will return home in profit. His dream of having an independent portable career is now reality.
The most satisfying part fro Anthony is the positive feedback he gets from his personal travel blog (www.workingnomad.com) which is inspiring others to make the break to freedom.

Yes, I've purchased his ebook. If you want to make a living with affiliate websites, so you can live a nomadic lifestyle it tells you how it's done.
