The Work from Anywhere Myth or Not? with John Lee | TNN28 The New Nomad
-
- Places & Travel
Work online and travel the world. It sounds wonderful and more possible than ever. In an ever-globalizing world where flight prices are dropping and technology is developing at a dizzying rate, working online from anywhere in the world has never been so accessible to so many people. John Lee of www.WFA.team can attest to the dream of being able to work anywhere can be your reality.
John joins our hosts, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski, in laying out the realities of working from anywhere in the world. Our three nomads talk about the oohs and ahhs in the life of a digital nomad - from raising kids to visas to accommodations. They all agreed that while being able to work anywhere, it does come with certain challenges that one can overcome with research, resourcefulness, and help from communities around the world. It is truly a colorful lifestyle that takes a lot of preparation and planning to achieve.
