Manage episode 480741980 series 3478295
🦂 What happens when a bark scorpion crawls into your compression shorts and stays there for five minutes while you're driving a scooter?
In this episode, we kick things off with a true "only in nomad life" story that had us squirming — literally. But that's just the beginning.
We’re diving deep into the real, unfiltered truths about living as a digital nomad. No Instagram gloss here — just raw, hilarious, occasionally painful, and deeply honest moments from the road.
🎒 Here’s a taste of what we unpack:
Why the first scorpion sting might not even be the worst part…
The emotional crash of going home to Costco chicken conversations
The surprising emotional toll of visiting home after long-term travel
How fast travel becomes a sneaky addiction — and why it burns you out
What happens when your closest friends are now scattered across five continents
Why finding a frog in your bathroom (or a gecko the size of your forearm) might be the least weird part of your day
The heartbreak of goodbye after building a pop-up community you love
And yes… we even get into digital nomad dating — the beautiful chaos of falling in love across time zones, borders, and flight schedules
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or dreaming of your first “quit your job and go” moment, this episode is your unfiltered guide to the messy, magical, and sometimes mildly venomous realities of nomad life.
✈️ Come for the scorpion, stay for the truth bombs. You’ve been warned.
