Nice video, Chris! I used to watch your videos quite often and you helped inspire me to continue my quest of location indepenence. But, I was/am content living in my small beach town here in FL. So many amenties and basically living like a digital nomad in my own beautiful area! Now, I've worked full-time from home for 2 years and have grown my KZfaq channel to over 500K subscribers! I'm glad you've been able to continue doing your thing but in your own city! Brings a different experience, for sure. Thanks for the update!

Good to see that you are doing well. You were one of the first KZfaqrs we watched that motivated us to take our first step on the Digital Nomad journey, which we are starting in February 2022. We would love to see you on the road again, but at the same time, no need to rush - it looks like you have built something really great at home, and start travelling whenever you are ready, be it in a few months or even a year or two.

Hey cool, I just stumbled across your channel and noticed how we are in the same boat. I'm an Australian too (And also a software engineer) suffering the same problem as you, wanting to get overseas to work as a digital nomad. I've set my own company up but I see two issues. a) The company requires an Australian address, do you rent a home back in Australia or do you use something like a virtual office? b) Workcover requires an address, can you use a virtual office address or does it have to be a rental. Will workcover care if i'm out of the country for more than 6 months as it's a compulsory insurance, i'll never use it, just needs to be maintained legal status?

That's what we LOVE about freelancing. These past two years have been difficult in a number of ways, but ensuring income stability hasn't been difficult at all as we are the ones in control of a business we are passionate about. Freelancing has enabled us to return back to Canada to reconnect with family and focus on the important people in our lives, and we're grateful for that. Still, it will be nice to get out once again and take in all that the world has in store! Here's to freelancing, Chris, and one heck of a journey for you.

Hey Steve. The first part went we went into proper lockdown wasn't but after about 6 months, my city went back to virtually normal and we only experienced about 10 more days of lockdown in 2021. The international travel ban was definitely very annoying but at the same time, it meant that covid was kept out and so I guess I can be grateful for that :)
@michaelparry2262 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah it's been an interesting time to say the least. The thing I've found over the last few weeks since the border ban being lifted is trying to sort out what's needed to go anywhere, especially around insurance covering Covid. Having said that, I have booked my flight back to Chiang Mai for May already.

Oh wow. That is super interesting to see. I thought you guys were looked in for the last 1,5 years in Australia? I always thought you have been in total lockdown, not allowed to leave your area and the country. That is actually what friends from Australia told me as well....
@ChristheFreelancer 2 жыл бұрын
It was on a state-by-state basis. Victoria and NSW had very heavy lockdowns that went on for months but my state of Queensland only had 10 days of lockdown (+3 if you count Brisbane's lockdown) in 2021. That being said, Queensland had and still has some of the heaviest border restrictions so that's how we managed to keep the outbreak for outer-state at bay.

What an inspirational video, Chris! Thank you so much for sharing how incredible your big city life was after the intense lockdown when you showed your workouts while you were trapped at your beautiful home on the waterfront. Did finally having the muscular body that you always wanted give you an extra dose of confidence and did it make you more popular with the ladies?
