Becoming a Globe Trotting Super Affiliate

It’s almost been a year now since I left to Istanbul to study abroad for a semester, followed by a whole bunch of travelling right before coming back the the U.S.
It’s crazy how time flies. Now that I’m done with my undergrad (which I used to think would take soo long to get over with – and now truth be told I kind of miss college), I’m starting to get the itch to start travelling again. I’ve been at home all summer long and while it’s been nice to be at home, I’m wondering what the future will bring. It seems almost every month I’m changing my mind as to what city I want to move to and rent an apartment out in – from Chicago to Miami to NYC. I guess time will tell as I still want to cover my bases before I plan a full fledged move.
I guess that begs the question of why I want to move. Well, I think that travelling and exploring different cities is one of those things we can and should do while it makes sense when we’re young and especially as young entrepreneurs to broaden our horizons. I’ve always kind of been inspired by Josh Wex’s “model” of being an affiliate as he describes on The Affiliate Lifestyle Blog and more recently in his article in FeedFront magazine of grinding it out for a few months and using that income to travel while maintaining campaigns. I’ve also gathered inspiration from Chris Guillebeau’s blog The Art of Non-Conformity and who is also releasing a book by the same name today on Amazon on sale for a whopping ten bucks.
Another reason is that I’ve also never truly been completely on my own even though I lived on my own in college – I was still surrounded by friends and close to home. So that’s something that I think I need to do in order to grow and learn to be content in my own.
Until then, I’m gonna keep grinding and see where things go. I’ll either end up travelling solo around the rest of the world, or checking out different cities in the U.S. and settle in my own place somewhere. Or both. Nonetheless, here are some pictures from my travels abroad last year that I never posted if you want to check them out. Know a place I should check out? Post it in the comments!
Where to next??

that’s awesome man! that’s exactly what Nikki and I are doing for the next two years (at least that’s what we have planned so far.)
Keep us updated on your travel plans, maybe we’ll be in the same place!
Some places that you have crazy advantage with US dollars (and places we’ve pegged to visit) are southeast asia, south america, eastern europe and berlin.
