Going Remote

This section covers the journey from a regular job to location independence: deciding whether to leave, finding remote work or clients, choosing between freelancing and employment, and sorting out the visas and taxes that come with working from another country.
If you are just starting, read how to become a digital nomad with no experience for a step-by-step plan, and whether to quit your 9-to-5 to travel for a readiness checklist and lower-risk alternatives such as asking your employer for remote work. To understand what you will actually earn, see freelancer vs remote worker and how to build multiple income streams.
Whichever route you choose, the same rule applies: get your first remote income before you leave, build savings for the first few months, and check the visa and tax rules for every country you plan to work from.
