Hey, So I am watching your videos. I am curious, are there any group of people of communities of young retired people that are looking to hang out with other young retired people? All these folks are working class, I am specifically seeking other people that have everyday to do what they want
Five years ago, I walked away from a six-figure career that I'd spent my lifetime building. I took a job that would let me travel remotely, make a third of the money, and I've never been happier.
Wow I got chills when you said "that's how life works..." towards end of video..it should be flowing...yes when I'm in the flow, things happen easily and wonderful synchronicity happens...it's nice to hear that from someone as successful as you Kristin! ONE request: to talk to folks who have a good amount of experience not so many brand new folks. I feel like the ones who've done it for 3-5 years already would give best ADVICE???
One "simple" way to transition from a normal office job to remote work, is to work hard and be(come) skilled at what you do. That's why my employer at the time decided to continue my employment, when I wanted to go remote. And later decided to continue hiring me as a contractor. Had I been less proficient earlier, when I still had no plans about going remote, I'm sure that he would've made another decision.
This is the most realistic view on the digital nomad life I've watched in a while. As a recent graduate, this gives me hope that I can also start small and go fully remote in the future. Keep up the good work!
This is amazing. I started working remotely due to the pandemic and fortunately, I'm still working remotely. I enjoy working remotely but not my job so much. I'm looking for a career shift preferably something where I can travel. Kudos to you all for stepping out and following your dreams and sharing your experiences. 👏
Happy New Year! 🎊 Someone who comments on this video and subscribes to my channel in January will win a free $500 airline gift card! (New subscribers only!) Xoxo Kristin ✈️❤
Absolute Awesomeness!!😎😃 I was teary when I watched this, cause my heart and soul wants to be free and suck up sun and discover nature while being able to work a decent job!! I'm living in the UK and Madeira + Digital Nomad lifestyle is my new year resolution completely and utterly! And yes I will have to grin and bear it over here for another year to plan this proper but Booooooooyeah!🥳my health is needing this change desperately....thank youuuuuuu so much for your channel🥰 Happy new year and all the blessings in the universe for you!
Kirstin, this is a great. Please keep posting more videos like this as it really provides ideas and websites for newbies like myself. Wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2023. 🎆
After living abroad in my 20's for a few years, then going through divorce and being a solo mum for now 15yrs , i'm starting to research and plan my next chapter. I can't wait for it !
That's exciting! Hopefully you can start shifting to a more location-independent lifestyle! My book can help you take the first steps amzn.to/3JLLx5c 😊
It's so interesting to hear different perspectives on working like a nomad. It's something I've been considering, but I've never taken the step. As a Dutchie, I was living in Sweden for 7 years, but I always worked for companies in the same city, and never became my own boss. That's something I'd love to achieve in the near future. This video definitely makes me motivated to take the step! Thanks for sharing this Kristin!
Hi Markus, glad to hear that you've been able to live abroad for a while. Hopefully you can start shifting to a more location-independent lifestyle! My book can help you take the first steps amzn.to/3JLLx5c
I'm amazed at how resourceful digital nomads can be when it comes to making a living while exploring the world! These remote island stories are so inspiring and show that with creativity and determination, you can truly live life on your terms. Thanks for sharing this insightful video!
You're absolutely right! Their stories of living and working on remote islands are indeed inspiring and demonstrate possibilities. It's wonderful to see people embracing the freedom to design their lives on their own terms. I'm glad you found the video insightful 😊 Thanks for watching!
I've been a nomad for a long time. It's getting engaged in digital that'll lead me to greater heights! I'm excited for this year and beyond. Hope to cross paths and build tribe w y'all. Light and Love💞 -RNK
Hello my gf and I are looking to move out of America to the Phillipines this fall to get away from the toxic western lifestyle if possible do you have any remote work for us we are still young (19 and 18) but we are very determined on this matter and can work for a cheaper salary so we can move out as soon as possible it would be greatly appreciated if so I can send you my email so that you can get to know us and decide if were a right fit.
I'm focused on becoming a digital nomad within the next 6-12 months, starting off locally and then moving out into the world- I'm doing so much research right now, getting ready to launch my online income streams, preparing myself for only having to take care of one child after raising 7 (youngest is 14, 19 year old is also learning how to run online businesses and is planning on moving out to the nearest city with friends this year). I'm making sure that I'm financially, emotionally, mentally and physically prepared for being an empty nester within the next 4-5 years- my youngest has a passion for Japan and Ireland, I have a passion for those places and France (Europe in general really), as well as discovering new things about myself and the world, so digital nomadism and the freedom it gives suits me perfectly.
Hi Ninsídhe, great to see that you're planning ahead. My new book, Digital Nomads For Dummies, will help you with each aspect of going location-independent, including caring for your mental, physical, and emotional health. You can read a sample here: amzn.to/3JLLx5c
I stumbled on your video and I'm glad I did! I've been a DM for two years now and absolutely love it! What makes the DM 'thee' best job you can have is FREEDOM, and freedom is PRICELESS!
Thanks so much for this! First video I've come across on my research into the digital nomad lifestyle that actually gives multiple perspectives and experiences vs the RUclipsr / creative worker which I'm not. Gives me hope and makes this feels a little more attainable 🙏 Would love for you to do a series interviewing different people, maybe podcast style of how they moved into digital nomadism. Particularly from people of different ages etc as this can often be seen as a young / single person's lifestyle.
This is awesome content ❤️ my partner is transitioning to moving her psychology practice to an online workspace ! Because she is self employed hopefully we can travel more and get to unwind remotely 🎉
Thank you, Jacques! Hopefully you can start shifting to a more location-independent lifestyle! My book can help you take the first steps amzn.to/3JLLx5c
Happy New Year! It's so inspiring hearing everyone's story, especially how they got started because they were once inspired by others who have done the same. Having examples of those who have done it successfully makes it feel more attainable.
I "accidentally" became a digital nomad when COVID hit. I moved out of NYC, then stayed with family in Korea, then decided it was now or never so packed 2 bags and a yoga mat and flew to Madrid. After 3 months (bc of Schengen visa restrictions) I chose to go to Croatia and was there for almost a year (registered under their digital nomad visa). Ended up being the best accidental decision I made - every weekend I was solo roadtripping to a different country. I had to move back to NYC as our office reopened, but 9 months later I quit (while I was visiting Croatia, coincidentally) to pivot and study law. I hope to work in the legal sector remotely after I build my foundation. Thank you for the video and the platforms for remote working opportunities!
I liked Kristin's interview style. She asked pertinent questions from the information that she just received. I work for myself at home as a channel/medium. I could work remotely. It's something I would like to do part-time with a partner. This video was uplifting and informative. Thank you!
I am glad you liked my interview style, Lemurian! Hopefully you can start shifting to a more location-independent lifestyle! My book can help you take the first steps amzn.to/3JLLx5c
The DJ clip was epic! haha, loved it! The content was really interesting although it seemed to feature "Remote Workers" specifically. How about a follow up with , "Radical Nomads" that make a living off RUclips videos of traveling or are they a lot more rare than it seems. Really good stuff, really enjoyed seeing this kind of content. Thanks, Mike.
I am a total homebody who is just started traveling within country to visit family after many years. I do enjoy working remotely from home. I think it is so interesting to see people's different jobs as nomads. I think you should do a lot more of these types of videos. I tire of the digital marketing entrepreneurs and social media influencers saturating the space. It's refreshing to see others manage other types of employment to power their lifestyle that is more suited to private or camera-shy people. Thank you!

The first guy, Hans, actually has a physical, in person business that was already operating before he was able to do management remotely. He also advises people not to go to uni, but he certainly used his job as an engineer (which he qualified for by attending uni) to get the capital to start his business. Or his parents just gave him the money. It's very difficult, though not impossible, to start anywhere with just $1000 a month if you have nothing.
Finding a way to work and travel has been a challenge my entire career as a lawyer. It just wasn’t possible being licensed in only one country that required me to work in person. Everyone I met had switched to running retreats, coaching, working in alternative health, crypto or tech. The only silver lining of this pandemic is that am I found a way to be a lawyer and work remotely and fulfil this dream.
When Covid started we had the same idea and went to live in Madeira for 2 months, got engaged there, walked every week to that beach you just filmed. We just heard this village was about to be opened. So nice to see you thriving. Hopefully we can go back on day. 😊
This was a great video with excellent tips! I love that you interviewed people from all over and that most of them are relatively new to the digital nomad experience. Very encouraging video; thanks for posting!
New subscriber here ☺ Started making Digital Nomad research these last days and RUclips recommended me your video! Excited for this new chapter of my life!
Thanks for subscribing, Milene! Hopefully you can start shifting to a more location-independent lifestyle! My book can help you take the first steps amzn.to/3JLLx5c 😊
I spent almost 2 years in Madeira (Ponta do Sol) and it became my second home. I came across this video while searching for other things and it got me to tears when I recognized Ponta do Sol!!! It made my day, and I miss the village and its people every day.
I think you have to show your income, that have to be the equivalent of the minimum wage in Portugal - 780€x14. Can be any platform online upwork or other. There's other documents you have to submit, you must check D7 visa requirement listings, and I think there's a new one just for digital nomads.
Hi Varun, it depends on the country but freelancing experience should be approved (if your clients are primarily outside the country you're applying in). You can check the visa requirements for nearly 50 countries in my Digital Nomad Visa Database amzn.to/3JLLx5c
So interesting to see what other people are doing to fund their nomad lifestyle. That island looks amazing. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay there. 😊
I speak and wright 4 languages, Recently I have been really struggling with my 9 to 5 job and started to be more and more interested in working remotely especialy being able to travel and visit my Girlfriend's home town in Buenos Aires
Nice! If I was still single, that's what I would go for! I would definitely search for a remote job (even if fit doesn't pay well) and travel to sunny places. But as a mom, there is no way I would ever leave the comfort of being 10 min from a proper hospital. Being "inside the system" has its advantages. Once you fall ill or you need support, the stability of a corporate job and a proper home is very valuable. I guess there is a time for everything in life. In my job I also work remotely most of the time, but I am not allowed to leave the country while doing so. I like the advice of the third guy from Belgium to just walk up to your employer and talk about your needs. Chances are that something can be worked out that is more flexible.
Hi there, it's definitely possible to be a digital nomad mom, couple, or family. Here's one example with my friend, Freya: ruclips.net/video/m15dXWTLuHM/видео.html Also re healthcare here: www.badassdigitalnomads.com/category/healthcare/ Hope it helps!
As a remote worker since 2019, I don't want any other way of work. I can perfectly manage my working time and my personal life as well. Thanks for this video!
I love this video. Wow, being a digital nomad in Madeira, my dream place for decades now. Thanks Kristin. You're doing an incredible job as a nomad reporter.
been consuming a lot of your content now that remote work is so much more accessible for so many more people. jealous of your life and want to see all of the places you have been. thanks for good content!
Thanks for watching my content, Michael. Hopefully you can start shifting to a more location-independent lifestyle! My book can help you take the first steps as well amzn.to/3JLLx5c

Wow. I've been looking for the push to do this for a while now. Thank you for the inspiration and knowledge. So glad I found your channel. Can't wait to see where it takes me. 🙏
Thank you! Great questions, great selection of interviewees. Definitely jump right in is the advice I would offer to anyone considering this kind of a lifestyle.
Love the full circle moment when the advice and information you put out into the world was paid back! I have been trying to motivate myself to put time aside to upskill to work towards freelance remote work, this was inspiring - thanks! :)
Very cool living the digital nomad lifestyle. Surprised to not see an interview with a stock market traders. Just need a good Internet connection and off you go.
I was just looking into the digital nomad lifestyle and found your video. A lot of great insights! Gladly subscribed haha Also the coincidence of meeting Katarina! I can imagine how surprisingly pleasant it was to see her 😁

Kristin 🙂 I’ve been doing a lot of research around job opportunities that allow you to travel more, this video makes it seem totally possible to do. Thank you for sharing!
Hi NSpire! It is possible and hopefully you can start shifting to a more location-independent lifestyle! My book can help you take the first steps amzn.to/3JLLx5c 😊
What an incredible video, I loved it. You should continue doing this type of interviews (with those same questions) to the places you go, it gives a lot of guidance for people who are just going to start the journey or have not started it yet but want to
Amazing thank you so much for sharing ! I’ve been searching for months to find which pathway is the best for me to choose for my life going forward. This video single handed has helped me open my eyes to what’s possible. I can finally take action in my life with full confidence knowing that it is possible to create your life by design if you walk in faith and know what you can achieve. Thank you so much for sharing !
You're welcome, Tim! I'm glad to hear that the video has been impactful and has provided you with the clarity and inspiration you were seeking. Best of luck on your journey! 🙌😊
We Work Remotely comes up with zero jobs found for anything in the creative space (if anyone out there is an artist of any type). I recommend places like Artstation for remote creative jobs.
My husband and I were just talking yesterday about possibly visiting the remote workspace in Ponta do Sol when we visit Madeira next week, so this was particularly interesting to see.
Want to become a digital nomad? Pick up a copy of my book, Digital Nomads for Dummies: amzn.to/3rVEl02 📒
Hey,
So I am watching your videos. I am curious, are there any group of people of communities of young retired people that are looking to hang out with other young retired people? All these folks are working class, I am specifically seeking other people that have everyday to do what they want
Hi there! in the video she said remote Europe is a good site for remote jobs but there is no site with that address. Can you clarify the web address?
Five years ago, I walked away from a six-figure career that I'd spent my lifetime building. I took a job that would let me travel remotely, make a third of the money, and I've never been happier.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing Bellana 😊
Why didn’t you keep your six-figure career but work remotely?
Now we all need to know what's the job 🙃
No wonder, 1/3 is still like 10 times what most of the world make.
OMG Me too!!
Wow I got chills when you said "that's how life works..." towards end of video..it should be flowing...yes when I'm in the flow, things happen easily and wonderful synchronicity happens...it's nice to hear that from someone as successful as you Kristin! ONE request: to talk to folks who have a good amount of experience not so many brand new folks. I feel like the ones who've done it for 3-5 years already would give best ADVICE???
Thanks for watching! I did a lot of podcast interview with those folks here: www.badassdigitalnomads.com/ They have great advices 😊
One "simple" way to transition from a normal office job to remote work, is to work hard and be(come) skilled at what you do. That's why my employer at the time decided to continue my employment, when I wanted to go remote. And later decided to continue hiring me as a contractor. Had I been less proficient earlier, when I still had no plans about going remote, I'm sure that he would've made another decision.
Thanks for sharing your experiences Juri, very insightful 😊🙏
This is the most realistic view on the digital nomad life I've watched in a while. As a recent graduate, this gives me hope that I can also start small and go fully remote in the future. Keep up the good work!
So great to hear, Raj! Thanks so much for the feedback

Thanks for subscribing, Milene! Hopefully you can start shifting to a more location-independent lifestyle! My book can help you take the first steps amzn.to/3JLLx5c 😊
@@TravelingwithKristin Thank you so much Kristin! Add to my to-read ❤
I spent almost 2 years in Madeira (Ponta do Sol) and it became my second home. I came across this video while searching for other things and it got me to tears when I recognized Ponta do Sol!!! It made my day, and I miss the village and its people every day.
Kristin you should do a follow up with some of these people after a year if possible. thanks for this video!
Great idea! I have another video with 10 more people coming soon 🙂
Hi Kristin I am working a sdigital nomad on upwork is upwork experience letter valid for nomad visas etc?
I think you have to show your income, that have to be the equivalent of the minimum wage in Portugal - 780€x14. Can be any platform online upwork or other. There's other documents you have to submit, you must check D7 visa requirement listings, and I think there's a new one just for digital nomads.
@@luisvasconcelos1053 thanks sir
Hi Varun, it depends on the country but freelancing experience should be approved (if your clients are primarily outside the country you're applying in). You can check the visa requirements for nearly 50 countries in my Digital Nomad Visa Database amzn.to/3JLLx5c
@@TravelingwithKristin thanks kristin i try this year making passport
Very interesting to listen to people talk about their lives as digital nomads. Hope to travel and work remotely soon as well 🙂
Glad to know you liked the video Helina! Wishing you the best 😊
So interesting to see what other people are doing to fund their nomad lifestyle. That island looks amazing. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay there. 😊
I did! 😊 Thanks Kerry!
I speak and wright 4 languages, Recently I have been really struggling with my 9 to 5 job and started to be more and more interested in working remotely especialy being able to travel and visit my Girlfriend's home town in Buenos Aires
Looooved this and thank you! I've been a digital nomad for 2 years now and love it! Happy new year from your new subscriber 😉🎉
Awesome! Thank you, Katrina! 🙌
Kristin thanks for covering a variety of Digital Nomads and what they do. So inspiring!
Glad you liked the video, Art of Vocabulary! 😊
Nice! If I was still single, that's what I would go for! I would definitely search for a remote job (even if fit doesn't pay well) and travel to sunny places. But as a mom, there is no way I would ever leave the comfort of being 10 min from a proper hospital. Being "inside the system" has its advantages. Once you fall ill or you need support, the stability of a corporate job and a proper home is very valuable. I guess there is a time for everything in life. In my job I also work remotely most of the time, but I am not allowed to leave the country while doing so. I like the advice of the third guy from Belgium to just walk up to your employer and talk about your needs. Chances are that something can be worked out that is more flexible.
Hi there, it's definitely possible to be a digital nomad mom, couple, or family. Here's one example with my friend, Freya: ruclips.net/video/m15dXWTLuHM/видео.html Also re healthcare here: www.badassdigitalnomads.com/category/healthcare/ Hope it helps!

That's the plan! More videos to come, Ivan so stay tuned! 😊

Hi Kristin!
It's my first time at your channel. I love your content, and I'll be watching your next videos!
See you!
Nice to meet you, Leo!
I met a couple at a food stand in Chiangmai 6 years ago, can’t forget how cringe the girl was when’s he said “we’re digital nomads.
Wonderful Video. I am a Digital Nomad. Good to see you making videos again.
Thank you for watching! 😊 🙏
Okay, this was super interesting! Certainly gives you some perspective of what it means to follow your dreams!
Glad to know you found it super interesting, Matt! Thanks for watching 😊
Loved the landscape views
Thank you, Carlos! 🙌
Very inspiring to see that there are so many different ways to live nomadic and work remotely.
Glad to know that, Isa! Thank you for watching 😊
Amazing thank you so much for sharing ! I’ve been searching for months to find which pathway is the best for me to choose for my life going forward.
This video single handed has helped me open my eyes to what’s possible.
I can finally take action in my life with full confidence knowing that it is possible to create your life by design if you walk in faith and know what you can achieve.
Thank you so much for sharing !
You're welcome, Tim! I'm glad to hear that the video has been impactful and has provided you with the clarity and inspiration you were seeking. Best of luck on your journey! 🙌😊
We Work Remotely comes up with zero jobs found for anything in the creative space (if anyone out there is an artist of any type). I recommend places like Artstation for remote creative jobs.
My husband and I were just talking yesterday about possibly visiting the remote workspace in Ponta do Sol when we visit Madeira next week, so this was particularly interesting to see.
That's great Carrie! Safe travels and enjoy 😊
I plan to start the nomadic life very soon and your videos are helping a lot. Thanks!!! ✨️
Happy to help 😊 You can do it! Best of luck Michelly 🙏
