When I was in 7th grade I edited my very first movie. It was on a flashy new turquoise iMac. Don’t lie, you totally remember when those first came out. At the time, video editing to me was something that could only be done in giant million dollar editing suites. The idea of being able to shoot […]
Lifestyle Design: How to Create the Life You Want
Lifestyle design is a catch-all buzzword that was made famous by Tim Ferriss around 2007.
The concepts of outsourcing your life, working for yourself, and creating a "4 hour work week" might be a little cliche these days, but the reality is that fundamentally they're all things we should be thinking about.
So many of us are in jobs we hate, routines that are dis-enchanting and we're not able to do the things we like to do on a regular basis.
So "designing our lives" to figure out how to integrate more of those things is a really valuable proposition and something we should do more of.
At Location Rebel our lifestyle design posts cover a broad range of topics like travel, blogging, productivity, and bucket lists.

20 Things I’ve Learned from Hitting 20k YouTube Subscribers
I did it. 20,000 subscribers. Although I’m not sure why I just said “I did it” like 20k was some big magical end goal. Realistically it’s just one milestone on a journey that doesn’t really have an end. But it’s an exciting milestone nonetheless! It took me 8 years to hit 10k subscribers, and just […]
17 Work from Home Jobs You Can Run from Anywhere (And Start Today)
I still vividly remember the days before Location Rebel (then Location 180) where I’d sit in my cubicle reading blog posts about location independence from Chris Guillebeau. The office building I worked at had an outdoor garden patio, where I used to go during my breaks to sit and daydream about someplace more exotic. I’d […]
So, You’re Quarantined from Coronavirus? Here’s a Silver Lining
Let’s face it, life as we know it is gone…for the time being. Flights have been suspended from Europe. Essentially every major (and not so major) sporting event has been canceled. Bars and restaurants are shutting down. Even Disney World is closed. The Coronavirus is officially a pandemic, and things are going to get worse […]
Why You Should Stop Working at Noon Everyday
Updated as of March 2020 to include video and 4, 3, 2 productivity hack. When it comes to wasting time in front of a computer, I’m a triple black belt. Over the last 10 years of working for myself, I’ve wasted not just hours or even days in front of a computer, but weeks, if […]
How to Deal with Haters Online (Yes, You Will Have Them)
If you work online, no matter what you do, at some point you’ll come across haters. You’ll get people who want to put you down. You’ll get people who don’t think you’ll be able to make it. And sometimes, you’ll get people who simply see things a different way than you do. And that’s all fine. It comes […]
10 Defining Moments in Life (and the Importance of Each)
As I sit here on a ferry from Koh Phi Phi, Thailand to Railay Beach (one of my favorite places on Earth), I can’t help but reflect upon what’s led me here – to the Andaman Sea in the middle of a Wednesday. The same Wednesday that used to be spent in an office, dreaming of the […]

When Life Gives You Lemons (You Really Only Have TWO Choices)

Becoming a Digital Nomad: Why You SHOULDN’T Do It
Becoming a digital nomad and working for yourself always like a combination of unicorns, glitter, and mint chocolate chip ice cream – don’t believe anyone that tells you otherwise. Ok. That’s a lie. I’ll be totally honest, sometimes being a digital nomad and solopreneur totally sucks. I mean, usually it doesn’t, but nothing is ever all glitter and […]
