After 10 years of living in Nicaragua, Chapin was home for only 9 months before he left for Thailand to start his digital nomad journey. Now, 6+ years in and he's still trying to figure out what business idea works for him and his lifestyle.
I think this episode might be the most important one on the podcast so far, because Chapin is so real and open about his digital nomad journey. It's usually not the first business idea that works for us to become digital nomads, and it might actually take a while to figure out what does. Listen to this episode to hear Chapin's experience in figuring it out.

Björn Palsson has been traveling fulltime for 12 years! For most of this time, he funded his travels by working local jobs around the world, saving most of his income, and then travel until he was broke.

Coliving spaces are up and coming! My guest today, Haz Memon, is a coliving expert and he told me we went from 9 to 250+ coliving spaces in Europe in the past 5 years. Insane!

Traveling & Meeting People are Joana’s greatest Passions! Graduated in Hotel Management, at the age of 26 decided to start her own business – she opened 2 Guesthouses in Lagos.
Freedom to put her ideas and vision into practice, as well as geographical freedom, were always her biggest motivations. The search for more knowledge and the desire to expand her networking made her move to Lisbon. Many doors opened to her with the launch of “Eat at a Local’s” platform. Helping other entrepreneurs launching their own projects become also a project with mentoring and career coaching sessions.
In the meantime, the pandemic arrived, and all her projects are on stand-by, but she found an opportunity with Digital Nomads! She launched herself into a new project, which according to her words is “the best of my worlds: tourism, entrepreneurship & networking”.
31STAugust was “Lagos Digital Nomads” first Meet Up, and since then, the group has been growing. Many Digital Nomads are coming to Lagos and she is now working on the website. Once the website is ready, she is pretty sure that more people will know about Lagos as a great destination for Digital Nomads and also wants to connect them with local entrepreneurs, helping like this local economy.
