I never said I was good at this.

I learned the digital nomad life by doing it badly, paying attention, and fixing the system. Now I help remote workers skip avoidable disasters and get to the good part faster.

The Bad Digital Nomad helps remote workers pressure-test the job, destination, money access, logistics, technology, and routine behind a longer stay abroad.

The name began as an antihero joke. Years of layoffs, missed connections, money mistakes, bad workspaces, and real life abroad turned the joke into a method: take action, study what happened, improve the system, and pass the lesson along.
