If you could take off tomorrow and work from anywhere in the world, would you do it? Most of us would probably hesitate over that question, even the 20-something-year-olds like me who are relatively unencumbered, but it’s pretty safe to say that globetrotting with your laptop under your arm is the future of work and has been for a very long time. I’ve been dabbling with the idea of becoming a digital nomad since I first read The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss in 2017, but the question remains how do you actually become a digital nomad in 2022? In this episode I sit down for a chat with digital nomad and author of Global Natives, Lauren Razavi. We talk about a bunch of practical and actionable tips for how to become a digital nomad, some of the history behind the movement, ethical implications of nomadism and Lauren’s mission to try and build a country on the internet. 🔗 CONNECT WITH LAUREN 💻Website - https://lraz.io/ 💌 Newsletter -https://globalnatives.substack.com 🐦 Twitter -   / laurenrazavi   🦅 Safetywing - https://www.safetywing.com/a/24904075 📕 Global Natives by Lauren Razavi - https://geni.us/rDbf Season 3 Episode 2 00:00 Intro 00:00 What does it mean to be a digital nomad? 05:52 What’s the history of digital nomadism? 09:32 What are the pros and cons of being a nomad? 20:27 When did you first hear the term digital nomad? 23:17 Is being a digital nomad lonely? 28:31 The problem of wanting to travel when you’re renting 34:32 What is Safetywing? 52:22 What do you think about hiring across boarders? 01:06:15 Concerns and ethics of nomadism 01:22:12 Is building an internet country safe? 01:30:11 Takeaways 🔗 CONNECT WITH ALI 💌 Sign up to my weekly email newsletter - https://aliabdaal.com/friendzone/ 🎥 YouTube Channel -    / aliabdaal   💻 Website - https://aliabdaal.com 📸 Instagram -   / aliabdaal   🐦 Twitter -   / aliabdaal   👥 Linkedin -   / ali-abdaal   💙 The Friendzone Discord -   / discord   📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss - https://geni.us/pfJ5w Packer Paradise - https://www.packerparadise.com/ Paul Graham - http://www.paulgraham.com/siliconvall...
