Hey, Reader! One of my favorite English students - who's now a good friend - recently spent a week with us here in Albania. When we first started our classes, he was curious about the idea of a location-independent lifestyle. He was already working remotely but hadn’t taken the leap into traveling just yet. After hearing more about my adventures and getting a bit of advice, he finally took the plunge. Fast forward to today: he's on multi-month trips and has joined us not once, but twice, on...

Hey, Reader! The number one question I get when I tell people about our lifestyle is, "How do you do it? How can you afford to travel and live like this?” I get where they're coming from. Most people only know travel as going on vacation, so they assume we must be rich to pull off this lifestyle. But here’s the thing: we’re not rich, and you don’t have to be to live a location-independent lifestyle. If you're curious about how to create this lifestyle for yourself, then I’ve got something...

Hey, Gnomies! Greetings from Asheville! After 2.5 months in Colombia, a week in Texas for the Texas Eclipse festival, and a few days on the road seeing the Disco Biscuits, we're back in North Carolina. It's all been a bit of a whirlwind the last few weeks as I was busy building my English teaching business while simultaneously having lots of students to teach. Sasha has been busy with his job at CashorTrade and writing a feature article Live and Invest Overseas. We managed to sneak away to a...

Hey, Gnomies! Greetings from warm and sunny Medellin! We both hate to be cold so being able to head south for the winter is one of my favorite things about being a digital nomad. Why Colombia? You might be wondering. Well, for a couple of reasons. First of all, we love Colombia, especially Medellin. It's my fourth time here, Sasha's third. We came together for the first time in 2017, then I came back solo for a digital nomad conference in 2018. Then we came together again at the beginning of...

What's up, gnomies?! What's the one place on your travel bucket list that you've been dreaming of exploring for years? For me, the number one thing on my bucket list was hanging out with wild penguins in the southernmost point in the world (not including Antarctica). Back in 2012, while living in China, I caught a serious case of the travel bug. It was one of those moments when you realize there's a whole world out there waiting to be explored, and I was determined to explore it. My dream to...
