This interview is part of my 4 question series where I ask successful digital nomads from all over the world and all walks of life to answer the 4 questions we all want to know the answer to.

  1. Who are you? Tell us about what you do and how you got where you are.

00:09
answers to so we’re coming in here with
00:10

00:11
lindsay could you tell us a little bit
00:13
about what you do and how you got into
00:14
digital marketing sure
00:16
and digital nomad working specifically i
00:18
mean i’m more of an education
00:19
ed tech owner so i have a company called
00:21
allers english
00:23
we teach english as a second language to
00:25
adults around the world
00:26
uh and how i got into digital nomad i’m
00:29
not a traditional digital nomad i
00:31
haven’t really worked in vietnam like
00:33
like you have i’ve i’ve lived in japan
00:36
um
00:36
but you were japan yeah but not as a
00:38
nomad actually so my work has been more
00:41
within the us
00:42
so i lived in la for a couple of months
00:43
lived in boston for a long time and now
00:45
have relocated to denver
00:47
i’m very happy about the choice killer
00:49
so for a lot of people out there you
00:51
don’t necessarily have to start on like
00:52
a digital marketing i shouldn’t even
00:54
said digital yeah i’m not sure i have to
00:55
start on a traditional digital nomad
00:57
lifestyle
00:58
sometimes you kind of work your way into
01:00
that okay so what is your favorite place
01:02
that you’ve worked abroad
01:04
so probably japan i have to say japanese
01:06
it’s awesome
01:07
or uh argentina okay argentina is
01:10
awesome
01:11
and what are two tips you would give for
01:14
one of our aspiring or existing digital
01:16
nomads
01:16
who would like to work in japan well i
01:19
would
01:20
say work with the population you want to
01:22
work with i wanted to work with adults
01:24
and i didn’t really want to do the jet
01:26
program the jet program is the typical
01:28
thing a lot of people think they have to
01:29
do that to go to japan
01:31
but look at other options i wanted to
01:33
live in tokyo so think about the
01:34
lifestyle that you want
01:36
in your actual life i wanted to be in a
01:38
cosmopolitan area so that jet
01:40
was going to send me to the countryside
01:42
so look at other options beyond just
01:44
what’s in front of you
01:45
for sure yeah so for a lot of people
01:46
let’s think about the lifestyle first
01:48
and then kind of reverse engineer what
01:50
you want from there
01:51
exactly because that’s what it’s about
01:52
right the poor value so actually
01:55
don’t just fall into all the typical
01:56
buckets yeah i would say yeah
01:58
absolutely so what are your two biggest
02:01
fears around
02:02
when you are traveling kind of digital
02:04
nomadic working abroad and how do you
02:06
handle it yeah i mean just last week we
02:08
are just last month we went to arkansas
02:09
so
02:10
this is not your sexy like let’s go to
02:12
vietnam or anything but we went to
02:13
arkansas
02:14
rented a um just an airbnb house to get
02:17
away and work abroad have a workation
02:19
so i was certainly concerned of how well
02:21
the internet how how
02:22
well the internet would work absolutely
02:24
uh things like that so
02:26
i guess internet connection actually is
02:27
still something how do you handle it i
02:29
have a hot spot that i use
02:30
so um just verizon i added to my phone
02:33
plan
02:33
okay i just turn it on and it’s always
02:35
reliable so just mentally knowing i have
02:37
it there i don’t have to use it but i
02:38
can
02:39
i can have it in mind for sure and is
02:41
that verizon hot spot international or
02:43
just national uh
02:44
well it’s only national right now
02:46
because i’m not bouncing around the
02:47
