slides:none on file

A person quits a job, buys a ticket to New Zealand and spends 178 days traveling and visiting 60 places while working as a Ruby freelance developer. Work happens in trains, planes and hostels with no Wi‑Fi but with mobile data on a SIM card, claiming productivity matches office output. Practical takeaways: remote work requires reliable internet and tolerable temperature and noise, not a big screen or permanent office, and short contracts can preserve travel flexibility.
