Freedom. That’s what it means. In my parent’s youthful days, if someone told you they lived in a van, the first reaction of most would be to assume they were penniless, destitute, unemployable and unemployed. But now, with Wi-Fi everywhere and a national park pass, you can work from anywhere. You don’t need to be chained to an office, or a house. Board meetings on the beach. Design strategy meetings from a mountainside. The limits are gone. Mind you, it’s best to make sure your camera is off before you pull the toilet out. You only make that mistake once.
