I just wanted to thank you Alex. About 8 months ago I started freelancing full time (after doing it part time off and on) and traveling. I moved to FL, TX, AR and some places in between. I have a 1-way flight to Europe in 4 days and don't know when I'll be back or what exactly I'll be doing there. These actions are very much inspired by this blog post and your "Traveling, Writing and Programming" post. Thanks!

- wahnfrieden 13y agoIs t it illegal to freelance in many countries without special visas?
- GFischer 13y agoProbably yes, but you won't get caught (at least over here). I fear what will happen as data collection gets better, I know the local IRS is cross-examining data to catch the usual evasors (lawyers, dentists and others that regularly under-report their earnings, though to be fair the local taxes are abusive). They look at sports club affiliations - "how can you afford such a posh sports club on your paltry income"?, luxury buys (golf clubs are a giveaway), etc..
- reustle 13y agoI'm sure there are ways to do it legally. I only work for US based companies. I'll let my accountant handle it.
- kamjam 13y agoLife is too short to worry about every single detail. If you worry about everything, you will never experience anything. I think you're doing the right thing, and as long as tax is being paid, you will more than likely be fine IMO. Good luck and enjoy.
