In reply to Amit. Still a fan after discovering Christopher in the original column and reading both books.

I ordered the book immediately after reading this, but there was an online special for $1.64. Sorry, Chris, you didn’t get $2.00. The book is great, I’m about to follow him into Sudan.

In reply to Steve Calvert. I agree, Steve! I get palpitations when the internet signal wanes. ;-) I once spent a month in the jungles of Peru without internet, and it was a major undertaking! Christopher is a great example of how we can design our careers around our lifestyle ambitions (rather than the other way around).

Hi Nora,

I think he’s got his head screwed on straight as far as the maths goes as well. He appears to make a sound plan and stick to it. Living in a tent is not an option for most people who have location independent incomes because the internet is a necessary part of their lives, but Chris’ income does not appear to necessitate it, so he has an advantage most of us do not have.

Hey Steve,
Tell me about it! I’m impressed. But I’ll bet it has also taken Christopher a while to hone his perfect travel style – and cost. It helps that he’s pretty self-sufficient on the bike, with a tent and all.

I could live on $12 a day easily enough, but it would have to be just for food. My accommodation expenses per day would add a further $13. To receive a single payment of $6000 per year, and budget it so precisely, takes strength of character. I think a lot of people would find it hard to remain so focused on their budget and make it work.
