Hi people!

I'm really impressed with the amount of feedback this thread has received and I'm also really impressed with the number of you who are involved in travelling seo (or dream about it).

So! I've set-up a ning social network - "Travelling SEOs" with the idea that the few of us on here who are travelling about can get (or stay) in touch and meet up on travels! As well as provide advice, stories, tips, photos, vids etc...

If you havent used ning before then it's a free social network creator which operates in the same way as myspace or facebook -- but in a slightly simplified form. All you marketers should check it out! It's also great for do follow links so everyones a winner baby!

Travelling SEOs - For SEOs with no fixed abode! - here it is again. Head over and sign-up. There are no guidelines to membership just have something to contribute...

I found this thread by literally googling "travelling web developer" (with the quotes).

Some great advice here!

rcmedia, fellow canuck here and I just read your post and advice. I was wondering if you can PM me your IM (I can't PM you because I need to have made at least 10 posts). I have so many questions to ask and was hoping you can help out.

Here's a general one that I hope you can answer. How do taxes work for a travelling worker? Do you pay taxes for Canada? the country you're staying at, etc? What about health care? Do you get travel health insurance?

I also have a Euro passport + citizenship, I'm sure I can use that to my advantage some how.

I'm just curious, what have you decided to do? Are you going to do it?

the best idea that I can think of is,combine your "traveling experienced with your SEO jobs,in this age of social networking and "social interactions,your travel photograph should be the "idea to content your blog .then after all community is gathered ,use it for your SEO arsenal.

What I do for taxes is... I have my own small 'sole propietership' with a business license from city hall that lists my Canadian address.
I've discussed this at length with my accountant and the easiest way is I have my clients send me paychecks to my home address in Canada and all I do is pay my regular Canadian taxes... now if you will be working away from Canada for say, longer than 3 months consecutive, you should read the travel reports for your destination country/countries because some of them do not allow you to be there longer than 3 months without a work permit.
This is especially true in most European countries.

Please contact me for specifics as it is too much to write here.

Yes, if you have a Euro passport you should be able to legally work anywhere within the European Union without any papers or permits for as long as you desire... nice!
If Canada is your primary residence you will pay taxes to Revenue Canada.
