A Bald Abroad

Building a life of freedom— rich w/ growth, adventure, and human connection
...and sharing what I learn.

Software Engineer & Part-Time Digital Nomad 💻🌎

If you’re new here, I’m Gunnar 👋🏼👨🏼‍🦲

I got rid of everything I had in 2022 (home, car, job) and backpacked around the world for 15 months. I visited 20 countries in that time before deciding to return home to Seattle and find a new job (just in time for the worst tech job market since the dot com crisis). 

After a brutal search, I landed my dream job as a fully-remote software engineer and now live as a part-time digital nomad.

I’ve already learned a ton through this journey, and I want to help others as I'm learning more.

My mission is to live through the values of Freedom, Growth, Adventure, and Human Connection and share so that we can all break through borders separating us from the life we dream about.

If any of that resonates with you, consider following along.
