The Surf Office and Hacker Paradise: Re-inventing the Office Experience

How do world travelers pay for health care? Do they have to pay anything if they are in a country with universal health care? Is there some sort of insurance you can get that covers you world wide? How much does that cost?

I'm young and have decent savings, and would love to take a risk on something more interesting/start a company, but from what I can tell health care costs are more than rent if I'm on my own. (I'm in the US obviously)

I'm glad to see others sharing my vision of the future of work. I believe very strongly in the benefit of working amidst natural beauty, outside the city, in a quiet place where one can focus on work and unwind in the outdoors and at small gatherings.

The future is an amazing place to live. We now can live a life like Thoreau at Walden while developing world changing products and marketing and selling them globally.

Nice. I did some of my best projects in Tagazhout and Ericeira, Portugal. But honestly, riversurfing is easier and is more fun. Munich, Montreal, Graz or Boise come to my mind. Better infrastructure than on a beach, and less hassle with antisocial beach surfers.

Ha, I'm currently holidaying in the Gold Coast, and I was quite literally asking myself the other day how/if I could bring my work to a nice apartment overlooking the sea. Would be nice.
