You arrive at a new location. Now: What do you do? And more pertinently: Why do you do it?
The more Eli lives this lifestyle, the harder it can be to answer that second question as he moves to new places. In some ways, accumulated knowledge from years of nomading can actually obstruct his ability to access some core truths.
So that's what this episode is about: Those core mindsets about finding your version of happiness in a new location.

We're joined today by that Virtual Coworking Guy: Nathan Sudds! Eli found virtual coworking to be a productivity lifesaver during Covid times & continues to be a tool we rely on here at BecomeNomad.
In this ep, Nathan shares his wisdom & personal success with some key nomadic hot topics -- prioritizing tasks, establishing routines, and even traveling as a couple (which he's now done with his wife for years). Plus: his take on building communities & a social life while on the move.
... Basically, it's a hodgepodge of our favorite topics, with Nathan's unique insights paving the way. Follow @NathanSudds on Twitter to see what he gets up to next!
Last episode we looked back at 2022. In this one, we glimpse into the crystal ball to discuss 2023.
Dan & Eli toss around some predictions, questions, and general ruminations on what 2023 might bring to the world of digital nomadism. And, of course, they also get personal -- wondering aloud what the year in store will have for each of them.
On the docket: The state of nomadic globalization, the challenge of balancing internal values, and a bunch of bullet points in between.
(Apologies for the belated ep -- we'll be back with another soon!)
What did you learn in 2022?
For our first ep of the year, Eli & Dan look back on the last one & reflect on some unexpected lessons learned.
While Eli spent most of his year letting work guide his locations, Dan spent most of his sitting pat in his temporary home of Berlin. Quite new situations for both, so what can they (and you!) take into the new(ish) year ahead?
All that and more as we keep our monthly episode streak alive (and, characteristically, a few days late)
Dan Andrews of Dynamite Jobs & the fantastic Tropical MBA Podcast joins us for a super special New Years episode to talk all things remote work:
How to build a business that's location independent, connecting freelancers to business owners, & genuine community building. Plus a bunch more relevant tips + resources coming your way.
Huge thanks to Dan for being generous with his time, wisdom, & expertise!
