| 74) Child of Expats: How Delaney was Exposed to the Digital Nomad Lifestyle | 08 Oct 2024 | 00:51:43 | |
Today’s episode is being recorded from my annual trip on the Nomad Cruise where I met another digital nomad entrepreneur, Delaney Thompson. Unlike most of us, Delaney actually grew up in a non-matrix lifestyle with expat parents in Costa Rica. She grew up with teachers who surfed, freedom-focused parents, and living as a traveler in nature. I think this episode is such an important discussion on exposure to the digital nomad lifestyle whether you were born to expats, travel, and meet other nomads who inspire you or you fall into this podcast- the first step to becoming a digital nomad is to be inspired by others. I hope this episode shows you how you can live a life as a digital nomad with just a little inspiration and how Delaney’s serial entrepreneur journey and hustle proves anyone can do this. 🎧 Ready to take action?
