This kind of article is just playing on the secret desires that everyone has, but there is no substance. Similar to "Four Hour Work Week".
There are some activities that cannot be done from "anywhere in the world" for an extended period of time. Not even Bill Gates can do this. Try to be a pilot, a surgeon, or even a "normal" entrepreneur and you'll see that it doesn't work.

An article on living and working abroad by someone who has done neither. I would be delighted to see him take his own advice and write a follow-up post about just how much fun it is to try to live in Thailand as a high-definition podcaster.
I know it gets a lot of flack here (and not without justification), but if you're serious about geo-arbitrage, Tim Ferris's "Four Hour Work Week" has some good stuff in it.

The trick was cutting expenses: less expensive area to live, bought a much smaller (and well insulated) home, and get our joy not from buying material crap but rather from cooking, hiking, hanging with friends and family.
It is all about deciding what is important to you in life.
