If you could work anywhere in the world… where would you go?

Last night my wife and I were discussing the future. She brought up the idea that once our daughter goes to  college we could move somewhere else. She literally said ” well from the looks of your business, you could really work anywhere in the world…”

There is some truth to that. Have you noticed a trend in information workers in the past three years? Seems we are becoming more mobile. WebWorker Daily has some posts on this. And I noted with satisfaction that jobs are staying in the US but moving to smaller towns. lavender_rain_lrg

My knee-jerk reaction was that I would love to move to Maui. Rick Strahl shouldn’t be the only German expat .NET guy on the island. Besides he isn’t there half the year anyway :)  

Or maybe Kauai might be nice. If I understand it correctly there will be a .NET vacancy on that island in the near future….

The point is that I love the islands. Understandably so because I grew up in a very cold and winter oriented small town.

Well until that point in time when I can sit under the banyan tree in Lahaina with a laptop, I have a wonderful painting on my office wall that allows me to zone out and travel back to the islands as needed.

If you could work anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Deep in the heart of (North) Texas. Land is beautiful, plentiful, and cheap; weather is seasonal and mild; and you won’t find friendlier folks anywhere else. I think I’ll look into it. :)
