How To Travel & Work Remotely Forever | Mike Swigunski | TEDxVake

"Embrace the now while building for tomorrow." This is such a balancing act for me lol still haven't quite mastered it.

[basilfaulty]

"Be a dreamer but more importantly be a doer" – I appreciate this. It's easy to dream, but making those dreams a reality is the real challenge.

From a small town, big family and vast lands, the explorer emerges. Camera and notebook in hand, and a Mother so grounded, teaches her son how to soar into a world wide view of living. What a beautiful gift this story is.

[jackrichards]

Love the emphasis around the 7:20 mark on what _his_ version of success is. I really think it should be different for everyone! That way there's no constant upward downward comparisons diminishing our joy...

[MikeSwigunski]

Thanks for checking out my TEDx talk everyone. Love you all!

I wish my parents had taken me overseas as a kid. We never went anywhere and now I feel like there must be something wrong with me because I just have no desire to travel. Never did a gap year... none of that. This guy has so much positivity around it and obviously got some really awesome opportunities though so maybe it's something I should be considering

[ElegantEye]

It's refreshing to hear someone advocate for both living in the moment and careful personal and professional growth. I think these stories really speak to the importance of balance within taking risks and planning for the future.

[pablocortez]

His advice on living in the moment while planning for the future is spot on. It’s a balance I think we all need to strive for.

[graciasandlove]

This is such a great talk! I get the vibe that he's still so humble and grateful and wants to give back in a meaningful way. I think that's rare for people who have achieved this level of success

[blockchainbobisbroke]

this talk really made me think about how travel can change your perspective on life... It's not just about the places you go, but the people you meet and the experiences you have, it all goes such a long way in terms of shaping your perspective

[andrealfifi]

His story of loss, resilience, and adventure brings so much perspective on what's truly important in life. His mother's influence and her lessons seem to have been a guiding light throughout his journey

[jacobydusar]

Losing a parent is tough but it's pretty admirable the way he managed to turn that pain into purpose. I'm sure his mom would be really proud of him.

[DeliriousGentleman]

Hearing him talk about his first trip to Italy brought back memories of my first big trip abroad. Travel really does change you!

[tyronecaojr]

Starting a scholarship in his family's name to give back and help others have similar life-changing experiences abroad is such a touching way to honor his mother's memory and legacy. What a guy!

[deewolk]

An amazing talk! Thank you for sharing so much insight into you!!!! Your mom has a huge smile on her face!💖

[samsonhollmerus]

Woah what a crazy journey Mike

That valentine's quote hit deep.

Thanks for being such an inspiration for travelers worldwide.

Hope our paths cross again soon 🔥🙌🏾

[emmajchance]

The emphasis on making the first move in networking abroad is a great tip.

[nadyazt]

"Unplugging from the unsupportive" is going to serve as a constant reminder for me going forward. Thanks!

[izayahmayson]

His story about finding his first remote job in Australia was really encouraging. Shows that with persistence, you can find opportunities anywhere 🥳

[tedbuden]

What an impressive achievement to grow your workforce to 100 remote workers. I think this has now become a viable and sustainable option for many seeking work/life balance.
