3 Tips on Preparing for Extended Time on the Road

Simply wrapping your head around packing up and leaving for the long haul out on the road may seem extremely daunting, which is completely understandable. It’s a big change and in order to make it easier on yourself, consider the following tips...

1.  Plan Ahead
If you are already a natural planner, this will be no problem. If not, then you really need to buckle down and plan at least the first two months out on the road. Where you are staying, your budget, and your work plans. This will help cut down your stress immensely.

2.  Pack Light
This may be one of the hardest ones as you will feel like you have to take your entire home with you, but trust us when we say that that is NEVER a good idea. Bring only the essentials (laptop, money, small suitcase of clothes, etc.) and always remember that you need to be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice! Life out on the road is unpredictable, but that is also what makes it so exciting!

3.  Stay Connected
One of the most important things you need to do in order to thrive on the road is obviously to maintain your income so that a month or two down the road you don’t find your pockets completely penniless. Stay connected by use of WiFi, email, and phone so that you are always on top of your work. The flipside of this is too of course know when to stop working and enjoy your time out on the road because after all, isn’t that what this decision to live the Portable Lifestyle™ is all about?
