I have been travelling Canada while working on my startup. This has been great so far. My friend took this idea to the extreme and has been travelling around Europe for 3 years in a motorhome. He's earnt enough money to keep going pretty much forever. Lucky bastard.
I went to Tel Aviv back in 99' and absolutely loved the place, it had such a good vibe, but as I've read recently its becoming a hotbed for startups so I'm sure they will have a great time there!
I would also recommend checking out Netanya just up the coast.
I've been traveling with my co-founder for about 4 years full time. This was easy in the USA where we didn't need visas, but eventually we hit on the move-every-90-days limitation of other countries Visas.
Currently we're in Chile with a 1 year residency (which we could extend for another year and then from there get permanent residence). This is very nice!
Relocating every 90 days is a bit too often, as it takes a couple weeks to get back into the zone and really productive.
I wouldn't trade it for the world, though. And the cost? Our burn rate is significantly lower than if we'd remained in the USA.
Now that our team includes non-americans, relocating everyone to one place is problematic. This whole idea that you have to get a visa and can't work thing is silly- everywhere we go we're benefiting the local economy.
It is also impossible for us to have taken jobs from locals because our jobs were created by us in the first place!
Exactly. When I graduated college, my plan was to live in different countries and work for a couple years, then move on to the next adventure. With visa issues, it seems the only way to do this is to run your own company, but even then you're limited to 90 days in a country.
