Resources as Collected by Colin Wright

I've recently finished reading How to Travel Full Time and Start a Freedom Business  by Colin Wright on my Kindle. Throughout especially the former, he lists a number of useful (web) resources for people interested in full time travel. Since browsing the internet kind of sucks on a Kindle, I decided to collect all of these in one place here for others to use more easily.

I've omitted some of the obvious stuff (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, ...). This is a selection of stuff I found particularly useful, didn't know before or tend to forget about.

i think the best option for Mail ForwardingMail Forwarding, using Earthclassmail or Maillabs, i have tried out several services but it's the best because allows you to virtual mailbox service, mailbox forwarding , virtual mailroom, Virtual Business Addressa, mail scanning and get a mailing address for your business plus CA registered agent service, The registered agent service comes free with your mailbox service, You can take a look at our services and see if we fit your needs.

I ordered once mail forwarding services with Change The Postal Address They answered fast, shipped in time and seemed to me very professional.
The biggest concern for me was who will be responsible if if my package get damaged: seller or forwarder? Called them and i was ensured that packages are managed very careful so that nothing is broken. And so it was.

Asking about prices? Well, a paid more than expected and definitely will give them another try.
