It's definitely not the sexiest part of our nomadic adventures... but it may be the most vital.

BN 114: What You Don't Expect About the Digital Nomad Lifestyle

You imagine what you might experience, how you might change, what you might see, and who you might meet.

In this episode, we look past the glamorization and excitement of this lifestyle. Let's talk about some of the hard personal truths & ongoing psychological battles that might emerge.
Because as much as there is to love about the digital nomad path, its reality isn't a Hollywood story and it isn't a shiny Instagram post.
