From recruiter to remote career coach

Juliana has been working fully remotely since 2019 and is tuning in from Tirana in Albania. While this isn’t a digital nomad hub yet, the city is working on this to facilitate more digital nomads in the future. She has a long career as a recruiter, where she helped companies to find talent. Her work experience helped her understand what companies are looking for and how candidates can present themselves better online and during interviews. Her goal is to help individuals get more clarity about their careers and land jobs faster. She follows a six-step process and works 1:1 with people.

Searching for a remote job feels like a job

Looking for any job, remote or in an office, takes a lot of time and often feels like a job in itself. Juliana shares some common mistakes job seekers make when searching for a remote job. By changing the way you look for a job, you can increase your chances of landing the desired job. Let’s look at the common mistakes and how to avoid them.

Looking for ANY remote job

Remote work is popular and many job seekers look for any job as long as it’s remote. Juliana shares that this is a mistake because you will not find the right job if you haven’t clearly defined what type of job or company interests you. So stop looking for any remote job.

Lack of research

This may sound boring but research is part of the job hunt. When you apply for just anything and everything, you may waste your time, energy and perhaps even money on things that aren’t a good fit. You can research company values, previous employees’ work experiences, etc.

Unclear message

A clear message always sells better and this starts by creating clarity for yourself about the type of job you’re looking to land. Make sure that this message is shown on all the necessary places like LinkedIn, your resume and other content interesting for companies to check out.

Creating an action plan

Randomly looking for jobs sounds like hoping to find the right job. Hope is not a strategy in business and the same goes for landing your ideal job. So creating an action plan that specifies how you’re going to get this job and the different tasks help you land a job faster.

Losing confidence

Well, first of all, this makes sense because not everyone deals well with receiving a cold, harsh NO. Rejection is part of the process; if you’re being rejected repeatedly, this could put a dent in your confidence.

While it makes sense, it doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it. Taking care of the previous common mistakes is the first step and accepting that you can get rejected is the other important step in the job-hunting process.

Losing confidence

Juliana often says that not the best candidate will get the job but the candidate who sells her/himself best lands the job. So while you’re busy job hunting don’t forget to pay attention to how you sell yourself. Presenting yourself in the best way already starts with how you present yourself online. So make sure your online resume and LinkedIn have a clear message and show your important skills and interests.

You are never to old to switch careers

These tips are super helpful; we hope they will help you find your job faster. Juliana also shares that many people are looking for a remote job or thinking about switching careers.

For the career switchers among us, the first thing to remember is that you’re never too old to switch careers. These days it’s pretty normal but somehow the “feeling of being too old” always pops up. The truth is that you are never too old to change careers and she even hears people in their early thirties saying they are too old. This mindset isn’t very positive and thinking this way will hold you back from actually shifting careers. So please don’t think you are too old to do anything. Make your peace with it and whenever you think it’s time to have a career change, it’s probably the best time to act.

Secondly, always take into consideration what you already know. Skills and experiences gained in previous jobs are often transferable skills and relevant for your next job. Try to find companies that are open to hiring people who don’t have direct experience in that area to increase your chances. You don’t need to start from scratch or take up a junior position when you have skills. Of course, also here, it’s important to learn how to sell yourself.

“Embrace all the challenges and embrace falling on your face. It will evolve and that’s the beauty of this lifestyle.”

Digital Nomads Daily Podcast image episode 36 How To Become A Digital Nomad Couple Sailing The World With Ryan and Sophie (1)
Ryan and Sophie are an adventurous digital nomad couple sailing the world. They have been nomadding for five years and started their journey together shortly after they met on the dating app Tinder. Both were very fed up with corporate life and were in for a change. So when they decided to leave everything behind and buy a sailboat. The couple didn’t know much about sailboats or sailing; their friends and family were laughing. Years later, Ryan and Sophie are laughing as they live an adventurous lifestyle visiting beautiful corners of the world and the relationship is stronger than ever. Their boat isn’t just any sailboat it’s the third character in their lives and needs constant attention. Aside from managing the boat and traveling, Ryan and Sophie are also working remotely. Sophie is a full-time content creator. Ryan is passionate about battery technology for people who live a remote lifestyle, like boaters or people like podcast guests Chelsea who is nomaddding from a van.
Digital Nomads Daily Podcast featured image episode 36 How To Become A Digital Nomad Couple Sailing The World With Ryan and Sophie

The boating life looks glamorous but doing it full time also means…

We all know how challenging the digital nomad lifestyle can be so imagine doing this with your spouse on a sailboat. The day-to-day life of Ryan and Sophie looks very different from other digital nomads. The couple shares that basically everything is intensified when they are on the boat. It impacts how they manage their relationship, working hours, relax, and of course, their home, aka the boat.

Work-life balance for sailing digital nomads

The balance between working and sailing can be difficult to achieve because their life also depends significantly on managing the boat. This isn’t just a day job, especially when weather conditions aren’t great. Another important moment of the day, me-time is heavily impacted. While other digital nomads can go for a stroll or head to a cafe, Ryan and Sophie are limited to the boat. Today they feel more confident but it took a lot of trial and error to get to this point. Their relationship has been put to the test constantly and maintaining a healthy relationship comes with challenges.

Expectations s reality

In general, the digital nomad lifestyle can be pretty unpredictable, even more so for boaters. Depending on the location, the weather, and the state of the boat, Ryan and Sophie can create a work schedule. They share that not a single day is the same and that this lifestyle requires so much flexibility with yourself and how much you expect of yourself in terms of your productivity. When the conditions are fine, their main priority is work because they don’t always have the luxury to be focused and productive.
‘‘It’s getting painful. Embrace all the challenges, embrace falling on your face and embrace the fact that it’s going to be hard because there’s always going to be good stuff.’’
Digital Nomads Daily Podcast Cover episode 36 How To Become A Digital Nomad Couple Sailing The World With Ryan and Sophie (1)

Your spouse becomes your life partner.

One of the hardest things, aside from managing the boat, is maintaining a healthy relationship. Their reality is so much more than just a romantic love story. Both Sophie and Ryan had to redesign some of their communication styles and habits and really work on themselves to keep up with their lifestyle.

Digital nomads Julia and Gidi also speak about their digital nomad couple’s life and how important it is to spend time apart. Since they are limited to the boat, this doesn’t go for Ryan and Sophie. So the couple isn’t full-time on the boat simply because it’s healthy for their relationship and personal well-being.

Seeing a couples counselor helped them a lot and here some other tips (which are also super helpful for any digital nomad couple are)

The most important key is communication, which means you want to create a space where you can talk openly.

🌟 Find space for yourself and disconnect from your partner. This could be a workout routine, reading a book, or another hobby in your own space.
🌟 Take breaks from this lifestyle if that’s what you need. Both Ryan and Sophie share that they learned it’s not healthy to live on the boat full-time. They need to go home and be with family and friends. In fact, during the episode, they both tuned in from different locations.

🔥 Here are some tips for finding a healthy balance between working online and traveling

“There’s no bright time to pursue a nomadic lifestyle, so just do it but have a bit of a plan!”

Digital Nomads Daily Podcast Photo of Episode 35- Building A Successful Creative Freelance Career With Suzanne (1)

Starting her freelance career as a creative

Suzanne didn’t start her journey as a digital nomad. In fact, she only found out while she was doing it that she was actually living the digital nomad lifestyle. During her first years of traveling, she worked in exchange for food and accommodations. It’s a popular way for low-budget traveling.
Over time she offered her creative services through freelancing. While many people believe in finding a niche, Suzanne enjoys doing more than one thing like entrepreneurs and podcast guests Chels and Micaela.
So Suzanne mostly does concept development for boutique hotels and restaurants and offers various creative services like photography, branding, and design. She loves both, so she decided to combine her passions, giving her creative and financial freedom.

How to find clients as a creative freelancer?

Just like any freelancer and business owner, you need to find clients. Suzanne has different marketing strategies but also shares that this isn’t always easy. One of the challenges she is facing is wearing many hats so she doesn’t always find the time to work on promoting her services. To tackle this Suzanne plans and creates content for a month and this is how she’s been able to market herself.

Another challenge he faces as a creative freelancer is coping with client feedback. Especially at the start of her journey, she would take feedback very personally, which would affect her well-being. Over time she started to understand that it’s never about her but feedback about the work. So Suzanne was able to distance herself emotionally from the feedback, treat her as clients’ needs, and adapt her designs according to their values without feeling offended or upset. This is an important lesson for anyone who is doing creative work.

‘‘Know what they want. Know which direction you want to go and it’s never the same.’’

Suzanne identifies herself as an introvert like Marcel, who also joined the Digital Nomads Daily Podcast. Both Suzanne and Marcel share on the podcast that this lifestyle taught her how to network better. Here are 3 things that helped her feel more confident:
🔎 Join co-working spaces because it’s easy to meet other people
🔎 Go to networking events and set small goals for yourself. For example, talk with 3 people about my work.
🔎 Schedule social/networking nights in your calendar and stick to it. It may feel uncomfortable but if you stick to it soon, it will feel more natural.

Digital Nomads Daily Podcast Show Notes Image Episode 35 - Building A Successful Creative Freelance Career With Suzanne (1) (1)

Combining work and travel

Talking about co-working spaces – Suzanne shares why she loves working in co-working spaces. The first to know about co-working spaces is that every space has its own unique vibe. When you arrive in a new spot, it’s helpful to find a couple of co-working spaces and check out the memberships they offer.
If you cannot choose the right co-working space, there is an easier and more affordable way to enjoy it but have flexibility. An app used by many digital nomads is called Croissant App. It offers different kinds of memberships according to how many hours you want to work and you can use those hours for various co-working spaces. So instead of having multiple memberships you have only 1 membership but access to all co-working spaces listed on the app.
At Digital Nomads Daily, we love this app and you should definitely check it out! Go to www.getcroissant.com
Another important part of Suzanne’s work-life balance is understanding her own needs and finding locations, accommodations and a community that meets those desires. And while it may not sound sexy – planning and self-discipline are part of every digital nomad’s life.

Final takeaways

🌟 There’s never a right timing. If you really want to go for it, then just do it with a plan and save up some money.
🌟 Everyone can save some money, but you must adjust your lifestyle for it if you want to.
🌟 When you’re looking into coworking space, always check out what kind of memberships they have. It doesn’t have to be full membership especially if you’re new to the city because you’re traveling and discovering.
🌟 Take those small steps and put your calendar one networking day.
🌟 Adjust yourself with the needs of clients.

“Wanderers Help project is neither mine nor my co-founder’s main business activity. We just really want to be able to give back to inject some money back into the community and to keep them a helping hand.”

Digital Nomads Daily Podcast episode 34 with Kathleen Di Paulo digital nomad tax experts talking about wanderes help

Creating impact with Kathy aka digital nomad tax expert Wanderes Wealth

Kathleen is a location-independent international tax consultant and the founder of Wanderers Wealth. She’s been nomadding for four years, combining her love of travel with her entrepreneurial spirit.

She used to work in a corporate job as a tax lawyer. Yet, she realized that she wasn’t made for the corporate world. So, she booked a one-way ticket to Bali and started networking, and found out that people needed her help with regard to businesses, logistics, taxes, visas, residences, second citizenship, and bank accounts. She is solving a huge problem in our community and serving many digital nomads. She is also named in The 2022 Remote Influencer Report by Remote.com.

Kathy’s goal at Wanderers Wealth is to help independent entrepreneurs, digital nomads, freelancers, expats, and remote workers improve their tax situation and corporate structure. Consequently, she aims to empower them. Kathy also offers services of global diversification strategies for digital nomads.

The microfinancing project in Uganda: Wanderers Help

Recently, Kathy launched a microfinancing project, Wanderers Help, in Uganda. Her strong education and successful background are behind this project. She went to Uganda ten years ago for volunteering purposes for a social organization. Even though she studied financial system economics, Kathy ended up in financial/international business law. Moreover, she wrote her final thesis on “Micro-financing in Uganda.” Through this project, they will be able to give out more micro-loans to small business owners in Uganda.

She thought that maybe this project would happen later in her life, maybe in 50 years. But this year, she decided to launch and go entirely into it. Because she was obsessed with the topic and also surprised by the big distribution of wealth among countries. When she saw this inequality, it became inevitable for Kathy to support underprivileged people.
She is driven by the idea that while the western world has the privilege of citizenship, travel, and lifestyle, people born in less fortunate countries do not have that privilege. Thus, it is important to help these people by asking questions like, “How can we help? How can we have a lasting effect and help them in their world as well?”. Giving back comes naturally for Kathy because of her religious background, and we appreciate it!

photo of Digital Nomads Daily Podcast episode 34 with Kathleen Di Paulo digital nomad tax experts talking about wanderes help

How does this micro-loan work?

There are many ways to give back, and a popular method is via donations. However, Kathy explains why she’s not a big fan of donations: “you make people dependent on simply receiving more money. Receiving more money and not necessarily stepping up and being responsible for their own livelihood.”
“A lot of studies have shown that it has a great impact on the local communities that wouldn’t necessarily have other ways to get an extra income flow.”

Instead, they create a higher impact through microloans. In Kathy’s words,

‘‘micro-loans are basically handing out small loans to those individuals that are in a less fortunate situation. A lot of them already run their own businesses to survive. Those microloans are meant to help them out so that they can grow their businesses and make them think more about money so that they can implement a business plan and be stricter and have a bit of feeling around what to do with that money that they get.’’

The microloans can have a much bigger impact because the money is given directly to recipients with the condition that they will repay only a small amount over time. It also sounds better than taking loans from the bank due to the interest rates. While banks’ interest rate is up to 20%, Wanderers Help’s rate is 10%, which is minimal. So, it gives an opportunity to a community to enable them to build a business and sustain their life.
The 10% interest is reinvested in the project. For example to compensate petrol expenses to visit all the recipients and hand over the money. Apparently, it’s not about getting a profit from it, but it’s truly about giving back. It’s about making sure that people can go on with their dream business because they wouldn’t be able to do it otherwise. And this is exactly what makes Kathy’s story inspiring.

She also told us that it’s not just her running this project. She has a lot of support around her. Kathy surrounds herself with the right people who know how to help, like her co-founder, who’s been an international development consultant for 15 years, a local person from Uganda who can speak the language, and different consultants and lawyers.

image with Digital Nomads Daily Podcast episode 34 with Kathleen Di Paulo digital nomad tax experts talking about wanderes help

How can digital nomads contribute?

The funds that enable them to give out microloans are collected in various ways. Organizations and individuals can donate, which will be used to fund the microloans. Keep in mind that you won’t get your interest back as a contributor. Instead, the money will be cycled and go towards another group of entrepreneurs or local staff in Uganda. That’s how the biggest impact will be achieved.
So what about you? It’s time to give back! If you would like to help Wanderers Help, you can make a contribution via this link: https://wandererswealth.mykajabi.com/wanderers-help

Quick takeaways

🌟 give at least 10% of your income back or put it into charity
🌟 you don’t have to be so old to achieve a lot of great things in your life
🌟 give a hand those who needs and unprivileged ones

Photo of Digital Nomads Daily guest Episode 33 How Digital Nomad Families Can Live A Boundless Life With Marcos Carvalho (1)

The vision of world citizen and serial entrepreneur Marcos Carvalho

World citizen and entrepreneur Marcos Carvalho shares his story and the mission of one of the many companies he has co-founded, Boundless Life. It’s a purpose-driven initiative helping digital nomad families to overcome the practical obstacles of the digital nomad lifestyle. Boundless Life organizes cohorts across the globe and offers a combination of traveling, co-working and transformative education. If you are a digital nomad family and want to live a well-balanced lifestyle and connect with like-minded families, or think about your future family life, this is your episode!

He has a purpose-driven personality and believes that combining traveling with future-ready education is the best way to raise the people who will develop the empathy, compassion, and kindness necessary to make the world a better place.

You can see his personality triads clearly back in his lifestyle and work and there is a lot to learn from Marcos’s journey.

What is Boundless Life

Boundless Life is an initiative helping families live fulfilling lives where travel, education, remote work, culture and meaningful connections are the stepping stones to a memorable experience.

Families from all walks of life bring their kids and work to one of the Boundless Life locations. The team takes care of all digital nomad families’ basic needs such as housing, a co-working space, cultural experiences and community events. Boundless Life is also known for its future-ready transformative education approach. It’s a unique education program developed to deepen a child’s core competencies based the world’s best educational practices. A couple of highlights of their education program:
🌟 Experiential learning
🌟 Personalized learning
🌟 Purposeful learning
🌟 Project-based learning
🌟 Future-ready
🌟 Holistic mindful well-being

‘‘It’s about building a structure to raise children so that these children will be well-prepared for the future and will be able to make a difference’’

Boundless Life develops an education system that enables the child to live the way they want and makes the nomadic life easier for families. One of the co-founders, Rekha Magon, creates a curriculum with her team, but not from scratch. As Marcos points out in this episode, “We are taking the best of the best and then putting together and then adapting it to that nomadic lifestyle.”

Cover of Digital Nomads Daily guest Episode 33 How Digital Nomad Families Can Live A Boundless Life With Marcos Carvalho (1) (1)
So we figured out that Boundless Life comprises a community of digital nomads who are living a life without bonds. A balanced life, healthy life, and freedom of choice are the keywords that characterize the lives of this group of people. But what type of families are typically part of Boundless Life?

Of course, it attracts open-minded families who love to travel and enjoy unique experiences. Remote work expert Rowena Hennigan joined The Digital Nomads Daily Podcast and talked from the Boundless Life co-working space in Sintra, Portugal.

Marcos shares that different profiles are joining the experience. Some are entrepreneurs like himself and others are consultants, investors or people that have been working remotely. It also attracts a group of people who already have their children in alternative education systems but are looking for a more culture-based experience. These digital nomad families are looking for something that offers them independence and doesn’t tie them down.

What everyone has in common are the kids. It also helps the parents even make stronger connections. Nevertheless, some parents wonder if they are doing the right thing for their kids and this is a common topic within the Boundless Life Community. However, Marcos shares that the kids often ask their parents if they can join the next cohort and he beautifully shares:

‘‘We don’t know what’s coming next. Being able to adapt, being able to relate to others and feel comfortable with the unknown, with the discomfort, being comfortable in discomfort, it’s important even if it’s not easy. It’s not always as charming as it seems. There are a lot of challenges… But change requires time.’’

“There are so many ideas, but the thing is to put them down on paper and to implement them rather than just absorbing all the ideas and not taking action.”

Featured Image of Digital Nomads Daily Podcast episode 32 show notes about How To Become A Travel Blogger And Make Money Online With Isabel (1) (1)

How Isabel started her travel blogging journey

She’s been on the road for two years and she’s tuned in from Bulgaria, where she joined the Bansko Nomad Fest! Her roots go back to Singapore. At the age of 21, Isabel made her first solo trip and wanted to document her journey; this is how she started her travel blogging journey. She currently lives the dream life of many people, traveling the world and documenting her experiences on her blog.

 

Isabel didn’t have the skills initially and shares that she had to learn everything from scratch. Like many self-made digital nomads, she learned everything she needed to know to build a successful travel blog. Once she started getting more traffic and feeling more confident, Isabel realized that it was not impossible with the traffic and success she gained over time.

 

Her ultimate transition of how to become a travel blogger and make money online

Nevertheless, she had no such skills and didn’t know things like how to grow sizable traffic, how to get enough page views to have passive income, and how to collaborate with brands through advertising. So through self-learning and watching many YouTube videos, Isabel gained the wisdom needed to make her travel blog successful. She also looked at what other successful bloggers were doing which is a great way to discover what is possible.

 

While she was building her blog, Isabel was working full-time in Singapore. Over time, as her blog became more successful, she thought about managing time freedom and travel simultaneously. So the idea of ​​a full-time travel blog entered her mind. Once she got into an advertising network and saw that money rolling in passively, she decided to walk away from the full-time job and only focus on her travel blog. And it looks like one of her best decisions. This is how she fully transitioned and mastered becoming a travel blogger and making money online to support her lifestyle.

How does a travel blogger’s day look like?

‘‘Not one day is the same. Never gets dull.’’

Traveling and exploring the beautiful corners of the world sounds fun but of course, Isabel also needs to work. So how does her typical day looks like? Well, that totally depends on what’s on her plate that day.

 

Generally, she starts her day by having breakfast and heading off to a co-working space. She creates content for her blog and does a freelance service for her clients. This means that she is writing, editing pictures, researching keywords, and many more different tasks.

 

So believe it or not, Isabel is working full-time while traveling and this makes her lifestyle fun but exhausting too. She prefers to do her priority tasks in the morning because that’s when is has the best focus. She leaves the afternoons open for low-level tasks as they require less focus. So what makes her successful? Here is what she says:

 

‘‘Success depends on how disciplined you are, how much work you can get done while balancing work and play together.’’

Success brought by cooperation

Creating digital content takes a lot of time and a tremendous amount of work. Aside from her blog and travels she also does client work and creates digital products to share her knowledge and experience with others. She has an SEO course for example which you can view via this link.

So how does she do all this work and travel? The key to success is collaborating with others. Isabel shares that she’ll not be able to do so much on her own and enjoys working with others. For example, she has a VA (read here about what a VA is) for her admin tasks. Isabel also works with a digital content specialist like graphic designers and video editors. So the key is finding the right balance and being smart about how to get work done. Are you ready to become a travel blogger and make money online?
