Life as a Digital Gypsy

Over the past couple of years my wife and I have been experimenting with a form of lifestyle design that I’ve nicknamed ‘Digital Gypsy’.

What we all have in common is that we use technology, new ways of working, entrepreneurial spirit and minimalism to create a lifestyle that maximizes personal freedom.
