I spent about 4 years traveling the world working remotely, as a digital nomad you might say. Before the name was popular
Put things I didn't want to throw away into long-term storage. Had a laptop. Flew from place to place. The most important thing was securing a good internet connection in a place. If I couldn't get a good connection move on to another place, or back to a known good place.
Libraries, coffee shops, hotels, co-working spaces, all viable options for internet requirements.
Mail digitized through a mailbox service, and emailed to me.
Google voice for an international phone number that just needed internet connection
The day to day living was pretty cool. You could stay in a place as long as you want, you could leave as quick as you want. Finding people was fun. Sometimes you weren't sure about where you would be, could you book the hotel for more time? If you couldn't you had to find the next place. So you always had a plan of where you are, and where you want to go next.
