Community & Homebase: The Other Side of Digital Nomadism with Christina Spörer

Kat's Podcast

Freedom Lifestyle Edition

After talking to quite a few people living their freedom in lockdown, today I’m having someone on who is currently NOT at home, but in Mexico, exploring the world:

I’m talking to Christina Spörer, a digital nomad and personal branding photographer from Germany. Christina has been traveling for almost six years by now and she gives us a glimpse into how digital nomadism evolved for her. How she perceives freedom after being on the road for so long and how she started living her passion professionally while working remotely.

And we dive into the “other” side of digital nomadism: the longing for community and a homebase. Sounds so not like freedom and nomadism? Stay tuned.

This is a mindful exploration of the dynamics of traveling and being a digital nomad. Enjoy!
