The reason I started this Squidoo Lens is that while living in Thailand, Mexico, and Spain, I became spoiled by the relaxed laid back lifestyle.

I had time to enjoy life and friends. I especially loved meeting friends at the outdoor cafés in the plazas of Mexico and Spain. The more I stayed the more I realized that life in the States would be unbearable.

Spain was incredible but too expensive, as is Honolulu. It seemed I had to choose between money or time. If I chose money, I had no time freedom to see family or friends around the world or to travel to new places. If I chose time, then I still had no freedom, no financial freedom.

As you can see, I value freedom: political freedom, economic freedom, financial freedom, and time freedom. Although, I chose to live in a "free" country, I still was tied to a job. It was another form of slavery. I loved to teach, but the pay was inadequate for the lifestyle I wanted. The work load was increasingly unbearable, having little to do with improving the education of my students but having every thing to do with justifying more bureaucracy and regulations. Last summer, I realized that I had become"psychologically unemployable."

I had to find another way. I had to find real freedom.

Libertas Internet Marketing is the means to living life on my own terms, as a Sovereign Individual, living where I want, traveling when I want, and doing what I want. Now, I set my hours and working conditions. I answer to no one but myself.

In the second half of 2009, I will be traveling to Austin, Texas, Phuket, Thailand, maybe Viet-Nam, Las Vegas, Nevada, and either back to Honolulu or Austin for Christmas, and somehow find the time to squeeze in a wedding in Uganda!

What job would pay me or give me time off to travel like that?

I have teamed up with others at Libertas Internet Marketing. If you're interested, look into it and perhaps join us on an adventure; it's called LIFE.
