and why is leaving something that will last so important? You don’t take your legacy with you either, no?

I absolutely didn't plan for this kind of 'publicity' for the post, to be honest. Comments will be added.
Regarding the first point - I guess it's a matter of commitment. From day one this was mainly a travel project first and remote working project second. I believe that if I found a place I really would love to stay at for longer than a month, my view would be slightly different. But still, I tried to describe honestly what I thought about the past two months.
My clients always know exactly where I am, what's the time zone difference and all.
During the two month period of the 'experiment' I didn't actively hunt for new leads, so I can't relate to the lost deals part.
Call requests are done via Skype if needed.
Regarding my girlfriend, during this two months, she's on vacation, although she actively helps with prototyping and concepts.
We both had savings from day one of the trip and my freelancing gigs make up for a source of additional income that makes this thing less scary :)
I absolutely agree. The thing is, that having been to most of those locations (except Sihanoukville and generally China), I just didn't feel that those places would be fun to stay in for a longer period of time. It all comes down to personal preferences of course. I was on the hunt for a good spot for myself and failed so far.
Thanks :) I'll improve.
Best, Alex
Title fixed. Thanks. ;)
Author here. Exactly as digitalboss commented plus a custom crafted html/css on top of twitter bootstrap. It's not perfect, but it does the job.
Best, Alex.
Thank you all for commenting. I'm positively blown away. Especially considering the fact that it's just my first note on the blog. And sorry about the commas and possible grammar mistakes. English isn't my native tongue. I must have skipped those classes on punctuation.
