Living as free as a bird, that always sounds so great, but it seems so unachievable in this crazy busy and very demanding world. But what if we tell you there is a way to be freer, to travel the whole world doing what you love the most and even get paid for it? It's time to start freebirding!
Want to know more about this freebirding verb and the accompanying lifestyle? Read on free bird! 😉
verb (used without object), freebirded , [fr-ee-bird-ing].
Freebirding is about creating a more adventurous, free, and fascinating life that you find worth living. We believe having an online business in combination with traveling around the world is the way to achieve that goal. To be specific; freebirding is a verb, and also a way of life. It's a lifestyle where you choose to be free.
It's the more modern and more free version of the well-known digital nomad. It's the global nomad that hops around the whole planet, being as free as a bird…
Summary
To summarize what freebirding is;
+ Travels the world as free as a bird
+ Has an online business / or a flexible travel-related job
+ Get's paid well, but lives in more affordable countries
+ Flocks from one country to the next
+ A modern-day vagabond who loves all cultures, languages, and food!
+ Minimalistic in owning stuff, but loves collecting special moments
+ Stubborn about their goals, but flexible about their methods
But first…, it's time for some reflecting on how life is going right now…
Your current way of living
We used to be stuck in a typical 9-5 life. Working for the weekends, being very tired all the time, consuming and buying mindnumbing nonsense, looking at screens all day… It felt empty. It was empty!
Even after achieving all sorts of typical western goals, like a nice car, cash in the bank, and the best of the best gadgets, we still felt tired. We didn't feel very happy at all. Happiness would flee within days after buying yet another ‘thing'. And working 35-45 hours a week didn't seem to help our happy-healthy-glow. Puffiness around the eyes was not an exception, but pretty much standard. Especially in fall and winter!
Do you recognize parts of this lifestyle as you reflect it on yours? Then you must know this way of living is not sustainable. Maybe it's sustainable and just fine, but imagine you laying on your deathbed looking back on your life: was this mediocre life as awesome as it could be? Do you look back and say: “Whooooo!, that was amazing, a shame that it's over, but damn that was epic!”.
But if you answer that question on your deathbed with; “I worked a lot, I bought a lot, and I watched a whole bunch of Netflix.. it was comfortable and just fine…”. Then damn, you kinda wasted the potential!
Okay okay, enough. You get the point.
Already freebirding!
Nowadays, we don't own a house, don't rent a house long term, and don't have a car. We work from our laptops anywhere we want and we only have our suitcases and backpacks. We find a cheap flight and get an affordable Airbnb for a month in dreamy exotic locations like Cancun, Bali, Kyoto, and Lisbon. We stay everywhere for about a month, maybe two if we like it. We hop around the planet, enjoying spontaneous moments, loving not knowing where we will fly to next month. And it's very unlikely that we will ever return to the ‘normal' civilian life with all its rules, bureaucracy, and predictable patterns.
This way, we live a lot cheaper, have more adventures, are living more in the moment… and we get to see a beautiful sunset every day!
But it wasn't easy. You need to make a life-changing choice first!
Nothing exciting happens staring at screens all day, book a flight and hotel today, and live a little!
