The document describes the nomadic lifestyle of Catherine and Ine over a 3 month period where they lived in South Africa near the sea in a design apartment, drove a vintage car, went on game watches in Kruger National Park, had barbecues on beaches, tried wine, went surfing, and had fun meeting people. Though they are not rich, they are able to live this lifestyle by continuing to work online as a communication professional and web designer/photographer. They advocate designing your own life and being location independent by living on the road while working through tools like laptops, smartphones, and software for communication, time tracking, file sharing, and backup.
