I am one of the many lifestyle designers trying to 1) become free from the constraints of the supposed American ideals, 2) develop a business that supports my life as well as my ventures, 3) live life to the max daily. As my journey to developing more in-depth ideas and projects to create the ideal lifestyle has grown, so have my connections to the world of lifestyle designers. I have known Cody McKibben and recently striven to follow in the footsteps of a growing blogger named Adam Baker. This past week they, along with a handful of other BIG TIME BLOGGERS launched a new site that hopes to open the doors to endless opportunities for you and I. It is entitled….
After browsing through the articles and interacting with some bloggers through the comments section, I realized that this may be one of the best lifestyle design collaborations I have come across. Untemplater has brought together bloggers of every level (beginner, intermediate, professional, A-List) to give great content and perspective from every which angle. I am a huge fan of collaborations because they always seem to allow the biggest growth for myself. Sure, that is greedy, but I like to think I turn around and share with others in their growth as well.
Things I LIKED about the Untemplater Manifesto:
- Great insight into the background of the 6 major contributors
- Experiences you can relate too
- Well defined goal
- Guide to taking that first step towards your own freedom
Things I DISLIKED about the Untemplater Manifesto:
- Understood it was a manifesto, but would have liked a little more guidance for ‘where to go from here’. I know it will be provided in the site posts to come, but, for example, wish it had more action steps.
- There was no ‘Free Round The World Plane Ticket‘ Coupon at the end.
I think this manifesto is a great opener for the site and will lead to some great developments. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Thanks for your thoughts Dave. As I’m relatively new to your site, can you point me out to some links that talk about how you balance income and your travels?
What is the root source of income to allow you to travel, and what are the other activities which help support your lifestyle.
