Nate Hake is a recovering lawyer who after 5 years and $250,000 of debt, got fed up and decided to travel the world instead.
He spent his first year fast traveling through 43 countries & 6 continents but has switched to digital nomad slow travel to allow him to work on his travel blog Travel Lemming and burgeoning software company.
His love of the country of Georgia & being a sucker for emerging destinations has made us instant kindred spirits and I really enjoyed getting into what makes a place an emerging destination, what is life truly like after years on the road, and tips on how to travel more (hint: credit card miles FTW).

Every year we like to make a list of our dream destinations for the upcoming year. Sometimes we get around to a couple of them, sometimes we don’t and they live on to the following year’s list, but either way, it’s a great way to start off!
For the last few years, New Zealand has been on both of our lists and after canceled tickets (mistake fares that Air New Zealand canceled on us) we are so excited that it looks like it could be a go for 2019/2020!
Heather and I go through our top 9 destinations (and some honorable mentions), including a couple of surprising destinations from us both!
Where will we go first?
