Saw the article in the SJ Mercury News yesterday and I feel like it was meant for me.

I put in my 4 weeks notice at my desk job in San Francisco yesterday and I leave for Southeast Asia on January 18th. I’ve been planning since September. Coming back to the US on March 16th; never done anything like this.

You guys are way inspiring! Im going to follow the heck out of this blog!

HJ – Thanks for the good wishes and visiting the site. Any advice on Thailand? We’ll be heading there in January!

Burns – Always the critic, huh? All of the Seagate information is public information, so yeah, shouldn’t be an issue. And I listed the amazon/nasque articles first because the article focused primarily on us trying to become location independent and that’s what those article are about. Shouldn’t you be producing a YouTube video or something??

Is Seagate going to be happy you called them out by name on cutting salary and benefits?

Also, you should have listed the interesting things from china before your amazon/nasque articles.

Have a good trip. I recently got back from Thailand and Japan after losing my job (in silicon valley). It is good therapy to travel vs fighting the job grind. Enjoy!

Hi,
I read about you in the SJ Merc news today. Good luck with your adventures!

Is there any way to “follow” the blog itself (like others I’ve seen on Blogger/Blogspot)? The follow toolbar seems to be missing…
