    4 Fully-remote companies hiring right now | Ep 143

    In this episode Jeff and Marisa discuss four fully-remote (work from anywhere) companies with current job listings.

    Jeff and Marisa clearly outline exactly what you should be looking for in a job listing and company's website to determine if the company is high quality, and will actually give you permission to travel the world while you work.

    They discuss specific language to look for in job listings that can be either green flags or red flags.

    They walk through the keywords you should be tuned into when reading through the "about us" and "our culture" sections of a company's website.

    Spoiler: The process of vetting these companies can be very time consuming! Make sure you get onto our email list and we will send you a weekly newsletter with the hottest fully-remote companies currently on the market.

    How to find remote job listings that let you travel | Ep 142

    How to find remote job listings that let you travel | Ep 142

    Finding legitimate, fully-remote job listings is NOT a straightforward task.

    As a matter of fact, job boards are a bit of a mirage. With thousands of "remote" job listings posted at any given time, you would think that your potential for finding a strong opportunity is good.

    In reality, around 1% of those job listings are legitimate, fully-remote, and from quality companies.

    In this episode, Marisa and Jeff walk you through the exact steps you need to take in order to identify remote jobs that give you permission to work from anywhere in the world. Be prepared, it's a bit of work. Finding legitimate job listings is an entire job unto itself. The hard part really starts with polishing your resume and cover letter, networking with decision makers at the company, preparing for interviews, etc.

    We at Beach Commute find legitimate, fully-remote jobs and send them to your inbox on a daily basis. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get a week of remote job listings⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ sent to your inbox every day, for free.

    9 safest locations to start you journey as a digital nomad | Ep 141

    Is it dangerous to live as a digital nomad?

    One of the biggest fears about becoming a digital nomad (and traveling in general) is personal safety.

    There are a lot of factors that factor into that question that Jeff and Marisa break down in this episode.

    To make things easier, they came up with a list of nine of the safest locations they have lived in as digital nomads.

    In order to qualify for this list, each location must:


    Be very safe from personal harm.
    Have a digital nomad community.
    Have workable internet.

    So essentially, this list doubles as a good list of starter locations for new digital nomads.

    Speaking of which, if you're looking to begin your journey as a digital nomad...

Aspiring digital nomad MUST

In a world full of social media influencers mucking the waters of what is possible for the rest of us- these people are the real deal. Handing out valuable advise based on experiences and evidence. They’ve been doing it before it was a thing and they are relevant to the current climate of digital nomad life because they are still doing it! I love that they are all friends yet come from different perspectives which creates an important texture for me as a listener. Thank you for all the value! I listen every week.
