My Move Across The Country

It sure felt like it while driving across Texas…

Digital Nomad Radio is officially back on the air! Want even better news? It now has a kickass introduction.

In this week’s episode, I’m going to talk about my move from Arizona to Texas. Specifically, I’m going to talk about what it was like moving my job along with me. It was the first time in my life I moved to a new state not having to worry about finding a job.

And let me say, it’s a whole lot different this time around.

Teaser:

Some of the things I discuss in this weeks episode include:

  • Why being a digital nomad is the best way to live – even if you don’t like traveling around.
  • Why moving your job with you is a hell of a lot easier than finding a new one.
  • Social Media – how it can make moving easier.

As you all know, my girlfriend and I decided to move to Austin this past weekend. The move went really well and we didn’t have any problems along the way. The drive took us about 16 hours total over the course of two days. It was long and boring but at least we made it.

So Long Arizona

Anyways, I wanted to say farewell to Arizona. I lived there for a year and a half and managed to visit the entire state. I saw the Grand Canyon a few times, climbed the tallest mountain in the state, checked out Monument Valley and Lake Powell, and managed to quit my job and started working for myself. It really was an amazing time in Arizona…

If you haven’t noticed, it’s been pretty quiet around here for the last week or so. The reason is because I have been swamped with getting ready to make the move to Austin, Texas. The plan is to leave on the 28th and it is rapidly coming up. It seems like this month is going to fly right by.

Anyways, my apartment is starting to look like the picture above. I always seem to forget how many little things are involved when it comes to moving. Packing up your belongings is the only the beginning. For example, here are a few things I have done this week already:

Possibly Moving to Sydney, Australia?

March 21 2008
by Justin Wright

Once again, last night I managed to meet some more interesting people. This time it was a group of guys that were visiting from London.

After talking with them for awhile, I told them about how I was thinking about leaving Phoenix at the end of June when my lease is up. If you have never lived here, it is okay but the desert is just not the place for me. There is a serious lack of water here and I really miss the water sports I used to love like surfing, wakeboarding, and snorkeling.

Anyways, I told them I was debating between Los Angeles and Sydney, Australia. One of the guys had mentioned he was out in Sydney for…

Moving To Hawaii, Should You?

Many people dream of one day moving to Hawaii. Why not? It is paradise after all. But there are a lot of differences from life here on the mainland.

Well, I would like to share my thoughts on the idea since I have personally done it. Upon graduating college in 2007, I decided to load up a few suitcases and venture off to Honolulu, Hawaii with no plans what so ever. I booked a hotel room for 3 nights prior to flying out so I would have a place to stay.

Getting to Hawaii was easy, but once I landed there I had a lot of things to take care of. I had to find an apartment, land a job,…

Hawaii Comes To An End…

This is one of the hardest blog posts I have had to write in a long time. I have decided that it is time for me to move on an experience some more of the world. My lease is up in a few days so I have decided to fly out tomorrow.

This was not a spur of the moment decision, I have been thinking about it pretty much the entire time I was here. I think things would have been different if my friend had stayed and I at least had someone close to me. Do not get me wrong, I have met some of the nicest and coolest friends ever here, but it is hard to make…

Safely Made it to Honolulu!

Today was definitly a long day. Thats why I can be seen in this picture drinking a Kona beer in the Honolulu Airport. I had to say goodbye to my family, ride on 3 flights, and then arrived in Honolulu. I love this place! The weather is perfect, and the palm trees are amazing.

I am going to be heading to bed early thats for sure. I have a big week coming up with a few job interviews and also need to look at apartments.

We have a hotel through the end of the weekend so that gives up some time to look on the internet and in the newspapers.

I will not be having much access to the internet so…
