Notes From the New World Considering a Digital Nomad Lifestyle? Honest Travel Stories and Takeaways with my Mexico City Roommate, Joie Lim
203: Romanticizing your life is a fun concept, but sometimes when it comes to travel, it can feel like we’re only seeing the rose-colored version of reality. Some aspects of a nomadic life are straight-up annoying. In the last year, I’ve bopped around to Croatia, Cape Town, Portugal, Spain, London, France, Mexico, Malta, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina.
So, today I’m joined by my roommate, Joie Lim, to bring you a fuller picture of the digital nomad lifestyle! I met Joie in a traveling group called RemoteYear and we came back together this summer in Mexico City.
Joie and I have been traveling for the same amount of time. And by the time this episode is released, we will be back in the US for the first time in a very long time. We’re recapping everything from flings and heartbreaks to hungover plane rides and FOMO.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What inspired us to travel for such a long period of time (over a year to be exact!)
- Navigating love and lust when you’re constantly moving (and how you’ll learn a LOT about your attachment style in the process)
- Practical tips we’ve learned while juggling work and travel (get your notebooks out for this one)
- Our honest advice for aspiring travelers
