#Earthdesk code software

The experiment beginsįor six months, we tried to manage our software business while teaching English and doing odd jobs for NGOs, newspapers and radio stations. Within several months, we had sold the bulk of our possessions, moved out of our apartment in Reno and purchased one-way tickets to Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia. The response to EarthDesk was phenomenal and we soon realized that we could move overseas, bringing our microISV with us. By March 2002, when we first released EarthDesk, the microISV had become his full-time job. After September 11th, my husband Trygve’s day-job slowly went away, giving him more time to devote to our microISV. It was a “nights and weekends” business that earned us dining out money, or even covered the rent in a good month. We were thirty years old, with no kids and no debt, working steady jobs in Reno, Nevada, and had a small microISV on the side. For the past six years, we have been living and working in numerous countries, with nothing more than our Mac laptops, backpacks, assorted cables and adaptors and an insatiable thirst for adventure. We have actually achieved it through our microISV.

The freedom to wander aimlessly around the planet, visiting whichever countries you want, is something many people dream about. They kindly agreed to write this guest post discussing the practicalities of running a nomadic software company. So why not travel the world, financed by your business? Trygve & Karen Inda are doing just that. In theory an Internet based software business isn’t tied to any particular geographical location and can be run from a laptop anywhere there is an Internet connection.
