Go. Grow.
For the past 4-years, I have been living as a “Digital Nomad”. Earning a living on the internet, and living in new and different countries every few months. Despite the temporary nature of this lifestyle, I focus on slow, meaningful travel.
I choose the country or city that I want to live in based on a personal project or bucket list item that I plan to accomplish. I feel that the experience of a new city, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures continually force me to learn, grow and see the world differently.
My aim is to capture and share these experiences, as a way to inspire The Freedom Fighter community to take action and find the magic that exists in all of our lives.

"You're from South Africa?" the immigration officer asked me through the glass window as I approached the counter. "Yes, I flew via Istanbul", I replied. The man then made a call on his cell phone and within a few seconds, a surly looking man in an...
