Early 2014, I quit my job, sold and gave away everything I owned and set forth on the life adventure of being location independent.

“You are only free when you realize you belong to no place - you belong to every place - no place at all.” - Maya Angelou.

I would hereby like to coin the term “homeful” to describe my location independence! Not homeless.

It’s about thinking of yourself as part of a unified engine for creating a better world and a better future for humanity. It’s about resisting everything that divides us and uniting beyond petty ideas of borders, nationalities, and religions.

What do I stand for? Peace, understanding, collaboration, multiculturalism, lifelong learning, love, epic adventures, acceptance, and all of this, right now, at this moment.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted” -  Aesop

It’s a lifestyle I chose to have more freedom in my work, and life. Being location independent means that I am not tied to any one place to work or receive an income. Since most of my work skills revolve around the internet, the easiest way for me to become independent of my working location is by taking my work online. Thousands of people are now doing this with their careers, allowing them more freedom to move and travel around the world as they work.

Homeownership, accumulation of stuff, nationalism, and the idea of being rooted in one place is normal Western standard.

However, since my lifestyle also depends on the current world order - and a passport, I’m in a paradoxical situation: to practice mobility, I must have a home territory. A paradox it may be, but I’m happy to call Canada my “home” country and try to live within the vague tax systems and resident laws to keep life as simple as possible.
