How to Become a Salesforce Digital Nomad: Embracing Travel with Alex Lapa

The Salesforce Career Show

Have you ever packed your life into a suitcase and taken your work with you to a corner of the world where the sun always shines? That's the story of Alex Lapa, a Salesforce architect who's mastered the art of living and working anywhere. As our guest, he takes us on a journey through the digital nomad lifestyle from his base in the sun-kissed South of Spain. We discuss the allure and logistics of living bi-locationally, exchanging the conventional office for the freedom to roam, and the ways Alex keeps his professional edge sharp while indulging his wanderlust.
Our conversation with Alex then sails into the practical seas of managing client relationships from across the ocean. We uncover the overlooked perks of serving a North American clientele from Europe, not least the advantages of currency rates. But it's not all smooth sailing; we tackle the real talk about the loneliness that can accompany a nomad's life and how to find your tribe in foreign lands. This episode is rich with travel hacks and solutions that help digital nomads like Alex—and potentially you—keep thriving in this lifestyle.
As we bid adieu to Alex, we leave you with a teaser of what's on the horizon: the Salesforce World Tour in New York City. We'll be bringing you the latest updates and discussing resources for Salesforce pros looking to improve their interviewing technique or scout for talent. Whether you're a digital nomad, a Salesforce enthusiast, or simply someone who loves the idea of exploring the world without putting your career on hold, this episode is packed with insights that will inspire you to chart your own course.
