For the last 4 months, he’s been traveling the world doing one of my favorite activities.
Housesitting!
We talk about how Evo and his wife went from a default lifestyle to one full of travel, the hardest part about leaving home, and his advice on how you can do the same if you so choose.
When we think of location independence we almost never consider running a brick and mortar business from anywhere in the world.
It is called location independence after all.
Charlie Grosso didn’t let that stop her.
Though Charlie travels the world participating in crazy adventures such as the Mongol Rally and Rickshaw run while earning part of her income as a travel writer and consultant, she also owns a business in New York City.
An art gallery to be exact.
Because honestly, why should the type of lifestyle you want to lead interfere with your passions?
Today Charlie chats with us about freedom, security, adventures, and location independence from the viewpoint of someone who wears a lot of hats. Owning a business isn’t easy, no matter where you live, so why not travel?
But sometimes there are aspects of location independence that aren’t so ideal.
It can be quite a roller coaster when you travel while you work. Lack of work triggers, travel issues, bad wifi, the list of things that can, and do, go wrong is endless.
And yet we keep coming back for more!
Today Jason joins me to talk about the not so glamorous side of being location independent and to reveal our new super-secret (until now) community made just for people who have or are looking for this type of lifestyle.
What happens when you put two digital nomads on a podcast together?
We geek out about location independent lifestyles.
Today, we have on Rob from Making It Anywhere, a site that shows people how to start making a living while traveling the world.
From questions like
“I want to be a Digital Nomad, but where on earth do I start?” to “I don’t have the kind of skills for location independence.”
we cover it all.
We chat about how Rob and Mish (his wife and business partner) started their journey to becoming digital nomads through Fiverr and Elance before slowly moving their way up the digital ladder to bigger projects and income streams.
Advice on every topic relating to being a digital nomad is discussed, from where to start and how to think outside the box to travel schedules and finding other like-minded people on the road.
If there’s one thing to take away from this podcast, it’s this:
Many of you dream of being location independent or living abroad for an extended period of time.
Of engaging in a place and culture, rather than just traveling through it.
And no one is a bigger expert in this field than John Bardos of JetSetCitizen, who has started, run, and sold his own business in another country, has launched a successful location independent lifestyle, and has lived abroad for the last 17 years.
Today, John discusses the actual costs of living abroad, tells us some of his favorite home bases, and helps dispel some of the rumors surrounding a location independent lifestyle.
He also gives his best tips and advice for how someone who wishes to pursue living abroad can get started and what they can do to set themselves up while still at home.
There are 17 years of wisdom packed into this podcast, and you won’t want to miss it!
