Depending on someone to give you shelter, food, money, and possibly your work visa would make you rather vulnerable. This might create an unhealthy relationship with your one-man boss/landlord/roommate.

Yup I`m stable, been looking to this for since 2005, now is the right time. Of course there are other things besides food & shelter, but those are the things I need to get started anywhere. A little money after proving myself won`t hurt either. As I said, this is a little social experiment. Want to blog about it, how it goes etc. Trying to make it as a digital nomad. Anyone willing, won`t regret it.
would you consider Cyprus? (that small dot between turkey, egypt, and israel)
I intend to create a reputation from this, so I can hop around the world lending my expertise while mutual help is given for each other.
Do you consider Indonesia as an option? There's a high demand of ruby programmers in Indonesia right now.
Just curious...

Hi there! Can you please give it to me? I want to start developing iOS stuff but don't have money. ( btw, I'm 15.)
Just to check, are you aware that you need to pay $99/year to actually put stuff that you've made onto an iDevice? It's a lot cheaper than a Macbook, so I'm not saying you're not worthy or anything. It would just be a shame if you get a mac and can't use it for what you intended.

Sure, why not? I really have a knack for travel. What do you need help with?
I plan to focus first on artists (musicians, djs, photographers, painters and the like) and move from there. This is something that's been on my mind for about 4 years and now I think is the right time to do it.
How does that sound?
a possibilty.. email me: james@freelanceful.com
You could try to use a website like vworker for finding programming jobs. I use vworker (formerly rentacoder) since 2006, I work only on my spare time on the site (less than 2 hours a day, sometimes even less) and I have a steady revenue from this of about 2k per month. All you need is knowledge,determination and a good internet connection. It won't be easy to start, my first "job" was a two weeks project for ... 5$.…
How long did it take you to work your way from "two week project for $5" to "$2k a month! work from home! be your own boss! call now!" levels of income?
One year after that, I was able to name my price and select my clients. At some point I was overwhelmed by the number of projects I was able to take and I've started to charge more.
Currently I take 2 - 4 projects per month usually with old clients. Also I'm not a full time freelancer, I work on average 2 hours per day on these kind of projects.
