Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Work On Projects While Traveling?

[sl4shd0t]

An anonymous reader writes "I really want to go travel the world with the money I've saved up at my day job, but I also want to grow as a developer in the process. This is a long-term engagement: 2-3 years or more depending on whether my software is successful. I'll probably be hopping from hostel to hostel at first, with a few weeks at each. How do I find a good work environment in these conditions? Do hostels generally have quiet areas where work could be done? Is it OK to get out your laptop and spend the day in a cafe in Europe, assuming you keep buying drinks? What about hackerspaces — are those common on the other side of the globe? (Apartments are an option for later on, but I'm concerned about losing the social atmosphere that's built in with the hostel lifestyle.) I've never done anything like this before, but I'm really excited about the idea! Any advice would be greatly appreciated." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Ask+Slashdot%3A+What's+the+Best+Way+To +Work+On+Projects+While+Traveling%3F%3A+http%3A%2F %2Fbit.ly%2F11npww4) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fask.slashdot.org%2Fstory %2F13%2F05%2F28%2F202248%2Fask-slashdot-whats-the-best-way-to-work-on-projects-while-traveling%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Df acebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://ask.slashdot.org/story/13/05/28/202248/ask-slashdot-whats-the-best-way-to-work-on-projects-while-traveling?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
