42:02

You arrive at a new location. Now: What do you do? And more pertinently: Why do you do it?

Ep 203: Investing in Turnkey Rental Properties from Anywhere in the World with Matt Bowles 47:21

1y ago47:21

47:21

Investing in real estate as a nomad might sound impossible. When you’re traveling all the time, how can you buy a property, fix it up, find renters, and manage it?

Ep 201: Finding a Forever Home Abroad with Vanessa Jacquemin 29:37

1y ago29:37

29:37

Finding a forever home certainly isn’t a priority for all nomads. While some are on an intentional search, others actively spurn the idea of home—or they end up finding it when they least expect it and a location they visit just suddenly clicks. As I always say, there’s no one way to approach the nomad journey. In this episode, I’m chatting with Va…

Ep 196: The Nomad Lifecycle with Michael Boyink 38:00

1+ y ago38:00

Nomads can experience grief in many forms: grief for the places we’ve loved and left, grief for saying goodbye to the friends we meet during our travels, and of course grief for those we lose to death.
