Well, by running a home forex business anyone can. The only requirements have to be that you have your wireless enabled laptop with you and that you can obtain an internet connection. The first time when I was on vacation and managed to pay for my holiday whilst at a swim up pool bar in the sun is an unforgettable experience! Although a word of warning, keep the laptop far away from the water. Yes, there is a story there too!
