Step 1 - add up everything you pay in rent, utilities, internet, insurance, gym membership, coffee / breakfast etc. No decent hotel will charge you for any of that.

Step 2 - figure out how many days per month you are travelling anyhow because you are passionate about it --> that percentage of your rent becomes the money you are wasting on a really expensive storage locker

Step 3 - realise it's cheaper to give up the apartment than to pay for an expensive storage locker AND to travel...


Nobody is pretending that you can do a 9-to-5 job in London or New York living in hotels. But if you freelance over the internet or at client premises...
