Today we have a special guest episode with our friend Nikita, a long-time listener of the show. He takes us through his unique approach to digital nomadism which started with some creative adventures in his home country -- perfect inspiration for anyone thinking about starting out.

He and Eli move on to a grab bag of related nomadic questions about taking the plunge, finding your people, & living without fear.

Have thoughts on their discussion? We love hearing from you! Reach out to dan@becomenomad.com & we'll reply on a future episode.

Let's dig in to some essential nomadic FAQs:

How do you choose a place for new residency? How do you handle taxes while on the road? How does it all play with your origin country?

In this quick "emergency pod," Eli outlines some advantages, considerations, & interesting countries worth exploring when thinking about residency & related logistics.

(We're a little behind schedule but more make-up pods are coming your way soon!)

Don't come to this episode hungry!

Eli & Dan discuss some of their favorite locales for food and try to get a bit deeper: How much can food play a role in our perception of a location? What's the best way to really experience a local flavor? And what's our strategy for staying healthy while still experiencing food culture?

Furthermore, we'll plant some seeds: Our favorite locations & food experiences -- the cuisines that sit with us for years after the fact. Hopefully, they'll inspire you (... if not for your next destination, then at least fo your next meal!).

Every few years we like to check in & ask: What digital tools are we most heavily leaning on? What are we using on a daily basis during our nomadic journeys?

In this ep, Eli & Dan cover categories such as social life, learning, navigation, and fitness. Hopefully giving you some helpful tips... but very likely just demonstrating our own ignorance :)

Let us know what vital new tools we've missed at eli@becomenomad.com or dan@becomenomad.com.

It's our eternal question: Where next?

Eli's constantly thinking of how to answer this question -- not just with places as answers... But with principles & concepts that always stand true.

In this episode, he talks about some of his new and undiscussed principles to make sure the next destination is a place you connect with.
