I never said I was good at this.
I write about making life abroad work while you have a job to do. That includes finding an apartment you can work in and figuring out what you can afford to enjoy. I also cover the gear and routines I use along the way.

Streams and conversations
I'm planning solo livestreams about working and living abroad, plus conversations with other nomads and people who live in the places we visit. I'd like room to talk through how someone spends their time and what they've learned from it.
I'll add recordings here as I make them. For now, you can read the writing.

A place to compare notes
I'm considering a small Discord where people can talk about working and living abroad. It would likely have public areas and private paid sections. I'm still working out what belongs in each, so there's nothing to join yet.
