Wel­come to my web­site: Age­less Nomads.

This web­site is about life, work and travel strate­gies for uncon­ven­tional indi­vid­u­als of all ages.

Age­less Nomads are indi­vid­u­als of any age who want to con­tinue work­ing at jobs they love doing, but who also want the free­dom to work from home so that they can enjoy other aspects of  life, like trav­el­ing, or learn­ing to sail, or devel­op­ing artis­tic skills. The beauty of this lifestyle is that ‘home’ can be any­where in the world you want it to be.

This web­site and my trav­els in becom­ing an Age­less Nomad, came together for me when I started read­ing about Loca­tion Inde­pen­dent Pro­fes­sion­als and the way they were using the Inter­net and mod­ern media to design extra­or­di­nary, uncon­ven­tional nomadic lives for them­selves. So I thought, “What the heck? This sounds doable.” I’ve decided to focus on a cou­ple of resources, and design a nomadic lifestyle for myself, one that is fully sup­ported by a vir­tual business.

Posts and Pages will be focused on prac­ti­cal, how-to infor­ma­tion that read­ers can use to break the huge task of set­ting up your own online business/location inde­pen­dent lifestyle. This web­site is an action research-based, case study of what to do, how to do it , and when to do it. For the most part, it is a step-by-step report­ing and analy­sis of what I have done, what resources I have used, what’s worked, what’s not worked as well as I had hoped, and what’s been a com­plete disaster!

The Posts and Pages of this web­site pro­vide infor­ma­tion that will help uncon­ven­tional indi­vid­u­als of all ages develop a uniquely mod­ern Loca­tion Inde­pen­dent lifestyle.

To help make the process of becom­ing loca­tion inde­pen­dent a bit eas­ier, I have iden­ti­fied four sets of skills that every loca­tion inde­pen­dent pro­fes­sional should be lit­er­ate in:

1. Tech­ni­cal Skills — this are the fun­da­men­tal skills that you need to cre­ate an online busi­ness with,
2. Entre­pre­neur­ial Skills — these are the strate­gic plan­ning, busi­ness devel­op­ment, mar­ket­ing skills that you need to grow your online busi­ness with,
3. Lifestyle Design Skills — these are the skills that you need to enjoy your new lifestyle with, and
4. Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Skills — these are the skills that are needed to cre­ate mean­ing online and pro­vides the foun­da­tion through which the other three skills can gen­er­ate success.

Posts and pages will focus on indi­vid­ual skills (as well as other mate­r­ial) — just fol­low the Tags for infor­ma­tion related to each skill set.

And now for a bit about me: I am mar­ried with two grown kids — a son who still lives at home, and a daugh­ter who mar­ried last year and now lives in Burling­ton Ontario. Oh, yes, I also have a 18 year old Abyssinian/Tabby cat named Abby.

For most of my work­ing life I have worked remotely, as a Uni­ver­sity Stu­dent, as an employee, and as a solo entre­pre­neur, only going in to an office or a class­room as needed. I have also worked for a num­ber of years as an employee, so I under­stand and can iden­tify the dif­fer­ent skill sets required by employ­ees, dis­tance edu­ca­tion stu­dents and entrepreneurs.

Some­how, along the way, I have man­aged to accu­mu­late a cou­ple of aca­d­e­mic degrees, some cer­ti­fi­ca­tions and an award or two. These can be viewed here, on my Cer­tifi­cates, Degrees and Awards page.

My most recent accom­plish­ment has been to become a Cer­ti­fied Pro­fes­sional Retire­ment Coach.

As a Cer­ti­fied Pro­fes­sional Retire­ment Coach, I can help you design your unique Authen­tic Lifestyle.
