What’s the biggest benefit of a location independent lifestyle?
Freedom.
Marcello Arrambide of WanderingTrader.com has worked hard to guarantee himself “complete freedom”, which he defines as financial, time and location freedom.
For a few hours each day, he works as a day trader, the “easiest hardest thing you can do” and spends the rest of his time traveling around the world.
Today he joins us to talk about what exactly day trading is (the short version, including a one-minute break down of the stock market) and his travel adventures.
We speak at lengths about the benefits of location independence and some of the awesome places he’s been, along with some suggestions on getting great deals on furnished apartments all around the world.
He also details some of his travel mishaps, which include being kidnapped and detained in some of the world’s more dangerous countries.
