Welcome to Year Disrupted! We're a resource for people who want to interrupt their 9-5 life, travel the world and make money while they do it! Follow our journey for insights, tips, and plenty of stories along the way.
In February of 2019, we found a huge discrepancy between what we were doing and what we wanted to do. We made a list of what we wanted to do and who we wanted to be over the next 12 months only to find that it had nothing to do with our current jobs and day to day grind.
A few months later, we had booked a one-way ticket to Colombia, on a mission to spend 2020 traveling the world all while generating income. We're so excited about this experiment that we want to bring you, our readers, along with us so we can share the tips, tricks, and insights that we learn along the way.

Episode 6
"What do you guys do for work?" is the #1 question we get asked from friends, family, and other people we meet during our journey.
In this episode, Gabrielle and Abhi talk about what they do, work-wise, that allows them to travel the world while working remotely. Most importantly, they walk you through all of the important questions that you can ask yourself today to dream up your own side gig, full gig, or even dream job.
If you're interested in the digital nomad life but have no idea what to do or how to go about doing it, then this podcast is for you!

Here is the question framework we asked ourselves when deciding to transition into world travel and location independent lifestyle:
What do you want out of remote work?
Do you want to simply take a hiatus before settling down? Maybe you like what you do but you want to do it somewhere else?
OR Are you trying to build a location-independent lifestyle? Create the business you've always wanted to? Discover what you really want to do?
Can I do my exact job somewhere else?
Can you negotiate a remote working arrangement with your current job? (Check out CH. 12 in The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss)
Can you find a remote job doing exactly what you do but for a different company (check out Remote.Co)
Teach English Locally or Online
If nothing comes to mind, time to ask yourself: what can you do/sell/provide on your own?
Make a list of the things you're good at (ie skills, thought processes, etc.)
Make a list of the things you love
Decide where the lists overlap
Think about how you could parlay that into a "buyable" product or service? How can you do this in a way that doesn't exist? How could you replicated it?
How can you manifest your product or service?
Is there anybody from your existing network you could talk to?
Set up a Freelance profile (be sure to make it unique to you)
Start your own business
Main takeaways:
Be Patient
Think outside the box, nobody else thinks the way you do! What can you offer people?
Know that it's ok to fail
Use your network
Remember, you're on a non-traditional path so don't compare yourself against the traditional way of doing things or you'll always lose
