Travel the World & Be Selfish Forever
An Irreverent Guide to Living & Working from Anywhere
This is the anti-broke, anti-backpack, anti-Ramen, anti-"sharing a smelly room with a guy named Sven," anti-$5/hour-freelance-gigs, anti-"be grateful for what you've got," anti-"putting off travel until I can save enough money," anti-"wish I lived my life instead of reporting to some guy named Bob for forty years," anti-dream zapper, anti-excuses, anti-boring newsletter for adults who want to live & work from anywhere in the world.
Go ahead: bring your family. Stay a few months in an Airbnb. Sign up for a retirement plan! Own property in Portugal. And even carry a real suitcase. It's a dare.

Sell Your Sofa. Put Aunt Jennie's Vase in Storage. Take the Leap. This is Your Reset Button.
Gone are the hostels, backpacks, and questionable choices in liquor (mostly): today, the fastest-growing segment of global nomads is the modern professional, building a remote business alongside their family or partner, earning a high six-figure income, traveling to places like the French Riviera or London’s Mayfair, staying in design-forward Airbnbs and subscription hotels, favoring exciting gastronomy and a bon vivant lifestyle, seeking out unique and authentic experiences, having plenty of space in their day, and redefining what it means to be a modern digital nomad today.
Meet the Selfish Nomad
Sound like your kind of garden party?
You should be able to contribute meaningfully and build a successful career while also being able to meander down an ancient cobblestone alley in Italy; to watch people come alive as they greet one another in Ireland; to sit at a cafe and sip on an espresso while you read a worn paperback book; to discover who you are and what you really think and believe—these are all things that help the human soul thrive.
Research consistently shows that frequent travel has a massively positive effect on life satisfaction. New & diverse experiences can expand thinking. A sense of awe can help reconnect us to what matters. An all-new world invites questions, ideas, and engagement. And travel not only helps us explore our outer landscape, but our inner landscape, too.
It's a necessary part of the modern human experience.
And yet, if you're in an open-office floor plan in Minneapolis, you are not entering a cathedral in France to gasp. Outdated career models—including current "remote work" models—have made it impossible to have any real control over your time, your work, or your life.
- The 9-5 is dreadfully broken (we've known this for a long time)
- Remote jobs still expect you to stay seated for 8 hours a day—sometimes with your camera on or Slack active—during standard business hours...or more
- Most remote jobs don't actually permit travel because doing so sets up out-of-state and out-of-country tax obligations <--This is a major problem, essentially stripping professionals of one of the most significant benefits of remote work in the first place
- And, for those who have already traded the traditional work model for a freelance model, the realization quickly occurs that, unless you know how to properly sell your ideas, you'll be trading time for dollars from a dark room all day instead of hiking a trail in the sunshine in Portugal.

We're Changing the Way People Live & Work
introducing the SELFISH METHOD
A core tenant of our method is its emphasis on Time-as-Profit. We weight your leisure time as equally as we do your income, and consider it a fundamental measure of success: our goal for our clients is to overcome industrial-era notions of how long the work day should be, and instead, be as effective as possible while also building in as much space into their day as possible in order to fully explore their environment and have time to pursue soul-enriching activities without sacrificing financial outcomes. Go ahead, take the afternoon off. And tomorrow, too.
