Hey guys, I've been a fulltime traveller for almost five years now; leaving behind a career in finance and IT sales.
Being a traveller on either side of the pandemic meant a lot of things...good and bad. One definite con has been the increasing price of accommodation, specifically related to Airbnb.

Great info to know!
Thanks Ric, appreciate it!
Hi everyone, John Lee here, the co-founder of the Work From Anywhere Team. Before Covid, my wife Dee and I travelled all around the world with our daughter Rosa.

Would love to hear any feedback you have!
