I meant to write a post near my 1 year anniversary of leaving P&G, but it’s one of those things that just keeps on getting put aside. So here I am, almost one and a half years after I left the full time corporate world. It’s a great backdrop for reflection… I’m sitting at the pool of my apartment complex at 10:30 PM. There’s something Zen about being in the dark near a gurgling whirlpool overlooking teal blue water lit up by lights.
My ultimate dream is to be able to work from anywhere I want. And by anywhere, I mean on a beautiful beach. I came across Neville’s post on NevBlog and he was bragging about his mobile office… on the beaches of Puerto Rico. He calls it a “workcation.”
I have a couple of similar experiences that really inspired me… One was on a trip to Hawaii. The first thing my friends said to me was “how sad is it that you’re working on vacation.” But little do they know… I was vacationing while working. The vision is to vacation while working, not working while on vacation.
Last night I returned from my 2.5 week baseball road trip out to the east coast! The map below shows all the places I visited over those 2.5 weeks. Here are some fun facts from this trip:
Had a great time! It’s amazing how much time I spent out on the road, and I still ran out of time (and meals).
