61) How a Lawyer/Electrician Couple Become Digital Nomads: David & Georgia' Story
Manage episode 426780999 series 3432852
Dave and Georgia used to work very traditional careers as a lawyer and electrician in New Zealand with a house and everybody’s dream of a white picket fence life, until they decided they wanted more.
In today’s episode, I am interviewing my client Dave, and his wife Georgia on how they took challenges and seized them as life’s opportunities to become digital nomads. Dave thought his only way to travel and remote work was to become an English teacher until he found my program, while Georgia was laid off from her job. Now Dave transformed from a locked-in place electrician job to founding a marketing agency letting him and his wife travel the world and even meet me here in Bali for this live recording!
In this episode, we will also cover:
- How you can work full time and still pursue your dream of becoming a digital nomad
- How to learn a new skill and create your dream digital nomad job from scratch
- Why you shouldn’t settle for any career that doesn’t bring you joy ( even for travel!)
- Why TEFL isn’t your only option to travel the world and work
- Dave and Georgia’s best advice for anyone wanting to leave their traditional jobs and travel the world as digital nomads
