Wow you sound so similar to me! I also quit my job in IT to get on my bike and take photos, last month I cycled from Sweden to England and this weekend I'll be in the north of Spain at the start of a European tour. My plan was that I could take my laptop and work remotely if I wanted to do some coding and I also had it in my mind I'd be more creative with the thinking time in the saddle. I'm really impressed and amazed someone else in a similar situation has already done/is doing this, good for you!
