Living the Slow Life in Portugal with Veteran Digital Nomad, Conni Biesalski Badass Digital Nomads

What do you do if you're a traveler or nomad who feels lost in life and the world?  
During the pandemic, long-term nomad, Conni Biesalski, found herself back in her home country of Germany with no job and no plan. Fresh from a painful breakup, she was "lost, single, and lonely," as she puts it. But then, everything changed. 
Today, she's living a slow-paced, intentional, and fulfilling lifestyle with her partner and dog on the beaches of Portugal. 
If you've ever felt lonely, depressed, or confused along your digital nomad journey, this episode is for you. This episode is also for you if you're interested in living in Portugal someday. Or, if you've ever felt anxiety or apprehension about the idea of moving abroad or becoming location independent.
