Traveling with Kristin

This podcast shares the six most common ways to become a digital nomad - giving you ideas for the different types of remote jobs, online business models, and revenue sources that can help you become location independent. Making money online doesn't automatically turn you into a digital nomad, but it does give you the freedom to be able to live and work from anywhere in the world. The beautiful thing about the digital nomad lifestyle is that there are no rules - you get to design your life in a way that works for you. So if you decide you want to spend the winter on the beaches of Mexico or skiing in the French Alps, it's up to you!

WORK-FROM-HOME FOREVER: What happens when no one commutes to the office anymore? The pandemic marks a turning point in global society and the start of a major cultural change in working remotely for the rest of our lives. How we live and where we work have changed. Naturally, you have some questions about what to do next. "As long as you're punching the clock in your 9-5, who cares where you are?" The hosts of The Guy Phillips Show on KTRS Radio asked Kristin to come on to explain how the world will change when everyone works remotely and how you can best prepare for the unknown. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION INCLUDE: - Should you move to a new city or country now that you can work from home? - What cities will look like when remote work is permanent? - Should you be paid based on the value of the work you do or where you live from now on? - What will cities look like when everyone works remotely? - Will you start earning money in a foreign currency or a digital currency? - How will the balance of power between employers and employees change now that employees can potentially make more money as self-employed independent contractors or online business owners? - How soon will these changes take place? "It's a fascinating look at a what-if scenario that is fast becoming more of a reality." ........................................................................................................

I traveled by bike to a historical site near my current home base in Miami, FL to sit under the trees and reflect on a year of podcasting and a lifetime of travel while recording this one-year anniversary episode of Badass Digital Nomads. Topics: Celebrating both milestones and moments in life, as well as small pleasures (even during "The Great Pause"). The struggles of slowing down. Burning out versus protecting your health and well-being during the shutdown. How our travel experiences near and far from home make us who we are as individuals. How our ancestry and others' journeys impact our lives and where we are today. How food, sounds, and places bring up memories of childhood and travel. Why you can't be put in a box or categorized as an individual or in your career (we are all unique). How to become the best version of yourself. Triggering a "shift" between where you are now and where you want to go, while enjoying the journey of life. Patience as a virtue versus wanting things to happen in life immediately. Finding your own path in life. Bouncing back from failures. Dealing with anxiety during the shutdown. Keeping your to-do list in perspective without letting it control you. How to uncover new things about your local area and finding a sense of adventure wherever you go (even during quarantine). How to walk the Camino de Santiago in your backyard. Traveling on a budget versus the image of luxury travel presented by travel magazines and websites. Why you should share your personality and stories with the world. Passing on stories and anecdotes from one generation to another. Drawing inspiration from your environment to create your reality. The connection between traveling to Christopher Columbus's hometown of Genoa, Italy in 2012 to the discovery of The New World, Florida's history, and the content and stories that come through in the podcast. Topics we've covered in past year on Badass Digital Nomads. "There is no goal to life - every moment that you spend chasing a goal, life is slipping away little by little."
