      FDN LIFE MAGAZINE ISSUE 1!

      It’s official! Issue 1 is here!

      After months of hard work, we are proud and excited to present you with the very first issue of Freelance Digital Nomad Life Magazine; FDN Life Magazine in short.

      The first ever work-lifestyle magazine focused on freelancers, digital nomads, remotes, startups, side hustlers, location independents and entrepreneurs from around the world. (Eish! Now that was a mouthful).

      Thank you for purchasing our first issue. We hope you will enjoy reading it and find some new or inspiring insight to apply in your life and FDN business.

      IN THIS ISSUE

      For our first issue, we connected with fellow FDN’s across a wide array of industries, inquiring just how they have managed to build their FDN businesses and careers. Each one shared some interesting tips and information that might surprise even the most established FDN. We travel to various GOT filming locations, since hey, the final season of GOT is pretty big news of late! We also connect with FDN’s who share their life experiences, stories on love, life and how they are taking full advantage of the FDN work-lifestyle.

      DEDICATION >

      TO YOU MOM

      To my beautiful, kind hearted mother Petro Steyn, I dedicate this first issue of FDN Life Magazine. Mom, you always loved reading magazines. Wherever you are now, there in heaven or back here on Earth living a new life, this first issue is for you.

      - With all my love, your daughter, Marie-Berdine Steyn.

      FDN WELCOME >

      OUR STORY, WHAT AN FDN IS & WHAT WE STAND FOR

      Hello and welcome to FDN Life Magazine. We are honored to have you read our first issue.

      OUR STORY

      We are a couple who part-time freelanced for almost 11-years while working full-time jobs. By August 2015 we decided to retire from our cruise ship careers to become full-time freelancers. We also integrate travel into our lifestyle as we work-travel different countries several times annually to quench our thirst for adventure and travel.

      From our diverse experiences in freelancing from home, starting up new businesses, managing our online entrepreneurship, and traveling while still working and completing our client’s projects, we had difficulty in explaining to others what it is we ‘exactly did for a living.’

      We realized that we couldn’t place just the tag of ‘DN’ or ‘freelancer’ around our necks. We were simultaneously freelancers, digital nomads, remote workers, entrepreneurs, and online service business owners, to name but a few. As such, from that point onward and whenever asked what we did for a living, we gave the short answer, we are FDN’s. To us, FDN became the all-inclusive term for working remotely, being a startup owner, entrepreneur, freelancer, side hustler, home-businesses operator, and/or a location independent.

      Before our freelance endeavors we worked in different and diverse careers. Most notably with world famous 5-star brands such as ESPA, the Leela Palace Kempinski, the One & Only Hotel Kerzner Group in Dubai and India; then, with Canyon Ranch (USA) onboard Celebrity Cruise Lines before we quit the 7 am – 10 pm (as is known on cruise ships :-), to become full-time freelancers.

      For the past 4-years, we have developed our freelance entrepreneurship, MBS Create-Innovate-Inspire, to what is today to generate a sustainable income for ourselves, and one that affords us an independent lifestyle where we could be more in control of our earnings and grow our skill set and expertise exponentially. We loved the freedom the FDN lifestyle afforded us, but most importantly, meeting and working with clients and friends from around the world.

      The FDN work-lifestyle is not for everyone; we learned that pretty quickly on in our careers as full-time freelancers. We often work more hours and put in more ‘free’ hours than we did as regular salaried employees. These days, whenever asked for advice, we don’t promote or paint a pretty picture of the FDN lifestyle, and we certainly don’t promote the FDN lifestyle to anyone interested in earning a quick buck.
