BACKSTORY

Paige and I met while we were both working remotely from Bali in 2018 (hear the funny story about how I shamelessly slid into her DM’s in this episode!). Since then, we’ve become great friends and even have a weekly mastermind meeting.

She lives in Germany and travels often around Europe/North America, whereas I’m Bali-based but also travel around SE Asia on the regular. Between the two of us, we’ve worked & travelled from 3 continents, countless countries and cities, and who knows how many time zones.

We’re a couple of Canadian cuties who have major cases of wanderlust but we also love to fatten up our bank accounts while we’re on the road.

We don’t let our globetrotting get in the way of running successful websites or online businesses either- in fact, we’ve both been able to grow our businesses while working & travelling, and we know you can do the same!

In this podcast episode, we share our stories, backgrounds and how we got started working and travelling. But there’s so much more to our chat than that.

Here’s a quick look at some of the other practical topics we cover during this (really fun) conversation:

Picking a destination to work from
How to plan for your work & travel stint
What to do before you get there - packing up your stuff, subletting your apartment, purchasing insurance, etc.
How to actually build & grow your business while travelling
Costs, banking & other money stuff
Coworking spaces
Community, making friends & not being a loner/antisocial weirdo
Tips for when you arrive - finding a place to live/stay, transportation, phone plan, etc.
Dealing with time zones and meetings for client work
Pushing past your fears and actually going for it
And one very entertaining story about an electrocuted monkey - don’t worry, everyone survived!
