View From My Nomad Office: Trail Day
24 Mar 2014
Every Monday morning I post a photo with a view from my “office,” whatever that happens to be at the moment. Some of them, I imagine, might make you jealous, but others will probably make you grateful for your cubicle and your Mr. Coffee machine. At the very least, you’ll get a glimpse of the digital nomad life.
Although I did most of my “work-work” at the big wooden table I wrote about last week, today I’ve decided to highlight one of the best aspects of being self-employed (or, um, unemployed as some people like to call it)– you can count anything as work. This Monday, the trail was my office. We spent six hours out in the Whakarawarewa (pronounced: fuck-a-rea-rea) Redwoods Forest with photographer extraordinaire Graeme Murray, shooting some pretty rad photos. For important social media branding purposes, or something fancy like that. It was sick, bro.
Here is a meta-picture of Graeme taking a picture of Macky going off a rock. There is also a picture of me going off said rock which will hopefully do the social media rounds one of these days soon. I look pretty badass but what you don’t know is that I landed on my (bad)ass about 2 seconds after the photo was taken. That being the glory of still photography.
What do you think? Could you work in the woods?
What’s your office like? Tag your photos with #ViewFromMyNomadOffice and I’ll RT the best. Got a really good one? Submit to syd@sydschulz.com and I’ll feature you here!
Happy Monday!
Such adventures! If I weren’t so terrified of mountain biking I think I would love it. (Does that make any sense at all?)
Honestly, being self-employed/unemployed/whatever sounds like a thrill. But part of that might be the fact that I’m drudging through my toughest year of medical school haha.
Keep on having an amazing experience, and I’ll keep on living vicariously through you!
Yes, it is a thrill! But I will admit that it seemed more romantic when I was sludging through my last year of school…hahah. It’s still real life, after all…
It always sounds like you are having such a great time in NZ!! The bush (I don’t think kiwis call it the woods either ;) ) would not work for me as an office. I hate getting dirty and muddy and there are too many ants and other creepy crawlies lol
Ah, good catch on the bush versus woods. It will always be woods to me though ;)
Hmmm…. I could DEFINITELY work in the woods!! I so want to go back.. Hope you have enjoyed your time in Rotorua and the weather has been nice and sunny for you. You must be soon off to South America, right?
We are in the Auckland airport right now! :( soooooo sad to be leaving rotorua but we’re planning to be back next january.
I totally post pictures on instagram if I’m blogging from anywhere interesting! If I go anywhere interesting this summer and post from there I’ll remember to tag it ;)
Definitely jealous of your trips.
