How to Travel More as a Freelancer

Becoming an entrepreneur and starting a business is challenging and can be downright scary in your hometown, let alone another country. But for those willing to pack up and head to Southeast Asia the market is ripe and the opportunities abound. That doesn’t mean it’s all unicorns and rainbows, there are just as many challenges for foreigners doing business in the region as their are benefits. In this article, I’m going to map some of those out for you by location.

On a trip to Cambodia, I met three generations of people having career adventures in Southeast Asia — 50-somethings reinventing themselves, 30-somethings re-energizing themselves and 20-somethings finding themselves. Their common attributes included embracing risk, a sense of adventure, independence, empathy, pragmatism, curiosity and cultural sensitivity.

I'm Going Back to Cali
Los Angeles, California, the city of angels, the place where dreams are made of. It's suc a cliché to say that you want to move to California but I do. The question is, what will I do once I get there? Well, I'm 19 years old so if I were indecisive, I technically have plenty of time to decide. Here's the thing, I already know what I primarily want to do in order to make a living. The problem is that there are so many things I want to do in addition to that. It really shouldn't be much of a problem seeing as there's now easy access to the internet and social media, well there shouldn't be much of a problem in theory. I like to think of myself as a modern day renaissance woman, but I have to overcome some barriers based on the current lack of resources I have.
How To Successfully Learn a New Language
Let me explain my current situation first because why would you listen to anything that I, a 20-year-old student, would say? Well, I was born in Belgium. In Belgium, we have 3 official languages. Dutch, French, and German. Next to that, about 70% of the population speaks English and another 36% speaks a 3rd, 4th, or 5th language. I personally speak Dutch (which is my mother tongue), English, French, Spanish, and I'm currently learning Korean. I can also read and understand some German and Afrikaans because those languages are quite similar to Dutch. So you could say that I'm used to hearing different languages and I'm also used to learning them.

"How Did You Want to Spend Your Life?": Fight Club Philosophy Meets Overseas English Teaching
"I don't want to change your life," I wrote to her via Facebook Messenger. And that was true...because what I wanted was for her to change her own life. My role was only to act as catalyst...

My experience being cordially invited as an Influencer with my fellow friend and confidant Gurtej Sekhon (Future CEO Someday) at what can be called the largest technology anchored conference dedicated to helping capture a new mixture of ideas. “Tie-con is ranked alongside Demo, TED and World Economic Forum among top 10 conferences worldwide for ideas and entrepreneurship by Worth Magazine.” (WHAT IS TiEcon?)

Every generation seems to have less hope staring back at them than the previous generation. Social security and a decent retirement plan look less likely every year for the youth of today. College tuition and student debt keep increasing, and there are fewer jobs than ever.
