I mean we are everywhere, working online in the digital space while traveling to places we love without having to save to go on vacation. Where ever we roam that is where rent is paid. Its a pretty great deal if you ask me. One I have been searching for since I was just 16years old going to high school in Toronto Canada. In fact I was laughed at, has sand literally kicked in the face of my dreams. Good friends whose opinions I valued and respected questioning why I wanted to uproot myself and move to California. I would not be legal to work, how would I live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1744060040807_343\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5e3ca142e94b2b18473010ad\/1660005935866-QIO8P54YO2ACH0CPOGC0\/IMG_3252.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast forward 20 years later and I was moving to California after working remotely for 6 months on a new contract. Suddenly I had a huge \u201cAhh Hahh\u201d moment. I coulD move there, live and work because I had my own business and well\u2026 The dreams of a young rock and roll kid who wanted to surf and see where the bands they loved came from! The picture below is the 16 yr old rocker. I never smoked really, I just thought it was cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That same 16 year old rocker who finally ended up in California also had a dream to one day live in a small house on a beach in Mexico. Well, its not a beach house, but I have designed a life that places me in close proximity to a turquoise blue incredible beach on a tropical island off of the coast of Cancun Mexico. It\u2019s simple. That digital nomadic lifestyle I discussed earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have designed my business so that no matter where I am I am able to work remotely. The start of this is having my own business. I began back in 2002. My ex wife and I started an online agency creating email campaigns and designing websites for companies in Canada and the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My company is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shivermedia,com\/\">ShiverMedia<\/a>, we are an agency that builds websites and designs campaigns and content that produces results for our clients. I have served clients from David Tutera to Sunrise Records. I specialize in entertainment and small business marketing. Hit me up if you want to implement some campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for small business or creator content coaching, I can help. I have experience building and developing traffic for all levels of business. But enough about me. Watch the video see what I do and get inspired to do something you can work on where ever you decide home base is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/Mexico\">Mexico<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/earning\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/earning\">earning<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/digital+nomad\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/digital+nomad\">digital nomad<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/digital+marketer\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/digital+marketer\">digital marketer<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/online+work\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/online+work\">online work<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/work+remotely\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/work+remotely\">work remotely<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/travel\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/travel\">travel<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/adventure\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/adventure\">adventure<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/trvel+adventure\"> <\/a>I<a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/ISla+Mujeres\">sla Mujeres<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/nomad\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/nomad\">nomad<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/nomadic\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/tag\/nomadic\">nomadic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle?author=5e3c8d20e577d552423c1173\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone has Skills to Work Remotely!
