The Reality of Being a Digital Nomad

Download directly, on iTunes, or Stitcher.

It’s been almost 5 months since we left Canada and started this adventure as digital nomads, and we’ve learned a ton about working remotely and traveling.

On this episode, we share the reality of digital nomad life. Before leaving we had both idealized what working + traveling would be like, and we had both imagined it being a lot easier than it’s been. In reality, it is awesome to work and travel, but it is still work, and there is the pull to constantly want to explore and see new things.

We share what we’ve learned over the last 5 months, how we’ve found a routine on the road, and how we figured out what routine works best for us.

If you are thinking about making the jump to digital nomad life, you don’t want to miss this episode!
