Nicole Caba joins About Abroad today to discuss her move to Lyon, France, and how her personal experience traveling the world with her dog, changed the trajectory of her life. She's now the founder of Avvinue, a company hoping to reshape how we travel with our pets, which can unlock a life abroad for so many of us who feel this lifestyle is inaccessible because of our furry friends. We laugh through some pet-travel horror stories, and talk about the realities of moving abroad, finding community in a foreign place, and the paradox of choice that hovers over perpetual travelers.  "This episode originally aired on November 2022 and taxes in foreign countries in an ever-changing situation.

Originally from Cyprus, she made her way to Greece years ago, and today she specializes in helping digital nomads and aspiring expats take advantage of the opportunity to come and live in this incredible country.

As we come to learn, many remote workers could easily obtain the Greek DN visa via a predominantly virtual process, stay in the Schengen and Greece for multiple two-year stints, eventually obtain permanent residency, all without having to pay Greek taxes.

The Netherlands “just works”, and for that reason it is (perhaps surprisingly) one of the most popular countries in the world to move to. From exciting cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam, to the great infrastructure and social safety net, to the massive international community where nearly everyone speaks English - there are a lot of reasons to consider spending significant time here. But navigating the system can be challenging, and there are, of course, cultural and bureaucratic aspects of a transition to Holland that only someone who has actually done it, can attest to. So in this episode we sit down with Jelena Mikic, a Serbian expat who made that move and now helps other foreigners follow in her footsteps as the Co-founder of Move To NL.

Chase Warrington is Head of Remote at Doist, a LinkedIn Top Voice on Remote Work, Global Top 20 Future of Work Influencer, Future of Work advisor, and host of the About Abroad podcast. Chase discusses his more than 15 years of remote team leadership. He shares insights, strategies, and tactics to elevate culture and connection—with a strong in-person strategy—across a fully distributed company. Chase explains how they select and onboard people effectively and teach employees how to work well asynchronously with a foundation of a culture of documentation.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   [02:40] Chase has moved to Crete for a few months for a new work/life environment and experience.   [03:27] At college, Chase's international studies pair him with students in Shanghai to work on a project.   [04:34] Chase enjoys an internship experience working in media in China.   [05:10] Learning a different language, with different expectations around work, and a foreign culture.   [07:14] How Chase figured out working in a cubicle was not for him.   [07:56] How Chase's mother turned her nursing career into a remote job working 4 days a week in 1999!   [09:02] Chase starts looking for jobs that will allow him not to be office-based.   [10:14] Negotiating with a prospective employer to be on the one team that works remotely.   [11:34] Learning early how to work asynchronously.   [12:42] Experiencing firsthand, the disadvantage of being remote from a great office culture.   [14:54] Chase takes a gap year with his wife, traveling and working.   [16:16] Missing being part of a team, Chase looks for a rare fully-remote non-engineer job.   [17:52] Chase joins Doist heading up their international marketing team.   [18:58] How to make Doist a company synonymous with remote work—part of the wave of the future.   [19:59] After the pandemic hits, how can they stay at the forefront of the remote evolution to help build the Future of Work?   [22:30] Doist finds most people in N. America and Europe work in similar ways, resulting in an inward focus developing new products.   [24:51] Chase focuses on culture and connection to improve Doist's already high remote working standards.   [26:01] Chase does internal and external research to figure out how to build more meaningful connections.   [27:28] With a culture of strong documentation, they rethink their central source of truth approach.   [29:32] Chase restructures and formalizes the focus on culture and connection—their IRL Strategy.   [31:19] How Doist employees work hyper asynchronously!   [32:25] How to connect people socially who work very asynchronously.   [33:47] The purposeful way Doist handles onboarding—in-person and online.   [34:40] New hires are assigned a mentor for six months.   [35:58] Doist tries to schedule two synchronous activities a month and two whole company trips a year.   [37:38] The people that come to asynchronous companies, and those who leave them.   [39:38] The role of local communities in supporting remote working employees.   [42:41] Changing the way we work is not easy, Chase encourages leaders to think about if they are building for yesterday, today, or tomorrow.   [44:42] A strong in-person strategy—including offsites and retreats—is key to building strong remote companies.   [46:58] On About Abroad, Chase's podcast.   [49:05] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: The ultimate goal is for asynchronous work to be the default. Put a stake in the sand for what percentage of asynchronous work you are committing to. Then start optimizing the way your company works. Question every single work-related activity to see if it fits the async or synchronous model better. Create a culture of documentation and meetings become the last resort, not the first.     RESOURCES   Chase Warrington on LinkedIn Doist.com About Abroad Podcast aboutabroad.com     QUOTES (edited)   “This proximity bias is something that just happens even in the best, well-intentioned companies.”   “There's plenty of data to back up the fact that while all these CEOs are worried about remote workers not working, they should probably be more worried about burnout and overwork than they should people not showing up to work.”   “Nobody reports having, on average, more than five hours of meetings per week!”   “We urge people to get out to disconnect from work. You don't get rewarded for working long hours or being the first or the last one online. We want people to show up fully and disconnect completely.”   “We fund people! If you need a co-working space, it's covered. Gym membership? Covered. Activities outside? Learning and education and social groups? Covered.”   “There's plenty of research out there from unbiased resources that show that while we're seeing a dip in work-from-home days compared to in the middle of the pandemic, we're still five, six, seven times where we were pre-pandemic.”   “There's this whole mentality that remote first means remote only, but everybody that has been in this space for a while believes that not to be the case.”   “Incorporating a really strong in-person strategy is becoming a core element of doing remote really well.”  

Nick Hahn has been leading remote teams for two decades at companies like IBM, Invision, and Meta - but like many people, now that he has location independence, he's starting to map out a long term move abroad with his partner and their three children. Today Nick and Chase sit down to reflect on their recent experience traveling together in Greece, as well as Nick's family's recent “summer test run” of a life abroad, and all the push/pull factors, concerns, and plans, associated with moving their family to a foreign country. Finally, we also dive into the concept of citizenship by descent via Italy and Hungary, which can provide many non-Europeans with a path to long term residency in Europe.  Connect with and follow Nick here:  https://www.nickhahn.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickhahn/ For more information on citizenship by descent in Italy, listen to our interview with Anthony here: https://pod.fo/e/139e46 Super charge your team's mental health with Kona and get 15% off your subscription via this exclusive About Abroad affiliate link using the code “CHASE”: https://shorturl.at/djtvM If you're enjoying the podcast, please consider taking 2 minutes to leave a short review at: RateThisPodcast.com/aboutabroad

Stephen Heiner has been living abroad in France for the past decade and as the creator of TheAmericanInParis.com and many other courses, services, and content related to moving to France, he can quickly dismiss any notion that France is not “open for business” when it comes to attracting foreigners.

Whether you want to move to the French Alps, Paris, the Mediterranean, or wine country - no doubt this country has a ton to offer, and Stephen's personal story might inspire you to follow in his footsteps.

Today he joins About Abroad to share his perspective on making that leap, the pros/cons of life in the US vs France, and fully immersing in a foreign country. We also chat about Brittany, an incredible coastal area in northwest France that has become his home away from home, and how the local language and celtic influences have become a core part of what he loves about his new life.

Dan Brotman obtained four citizenships by the age of 36, but that's far from the most interesting aspect of his journey. Dan's travels have taken him through countries such as North Korea and Afghanistan, allowed him to vote in foreign countries ranging from South Africa to the US, serve in a foreign military, and later fly helicopters with his previous sworn enemy. A fascinating discussion that takes us around the globe and eventually lands in Canada, where we chat about the new Canadian digital nomad visa and the launch of Rootless Mobility.

On this special episode the tables are turned and Chase Warrington interviews Matt Bowles on the About Abroad podcast.  Matt starts off talking about spending his birthday in the Portuguese wine country and then about delivering the opening keynote at the Bansko Nomad Fest in Bulgaria.  He then shares his backstory of losing his job, starting his own business, becoming location independent in 2007, and eventually becoming a full-time digital nomad with no base in 2013.  Matt then talks about his experience doing a 12-month “Remote Year” program in 2016—traveling the world with a community of remote professionals and living in a different city each month across 4 continents.  He then talks about why he is doing another Remote Year program, this time a 4-month all-Africa itinerary.  Matt explains what he loves about West Africa, shares his experiences nomading in Africa, and reflects on the pros and cons of Remote Year.  Next he talks about founding his company, Maverick Investor Group, that helps people buy “turnkey” U.S. rental properties—fully renovated single family homes with tenants and local property management in place.  Matt talks about the best U.S markets for buying rental properties and the process for how Maverick helps everyone (including foreign nationals) buy them from anywhere in the world.   Chase and Matt then talk about the future of work, the evolution of the digital nomad lifestyle, the value of location independence, and why Matt started The Maverick Show podcast.  Full Show Notes Available at www.TheMaverickShow.com  Listen to more episodes of the About Abroad Podcast at: https://podfollow.com/aboutabroad

Season 7, Episode 2. Chase never wanted to work in an office, although he works in the corporate world. From the outset, he sought jobs where he could work remotely. Back when he started about 15 years ago, that was rare, to say the least. Now, it's quickly becoming the norm.

In this episode, Pilar speaks to Chase Warrington, Head of Remote at Doist. Chase shares how he is challenging how remote work is approached at his organisation, and what he has learnt in his new position that can be used to improve the business and its people.   You can find the show notes below, and there's a transcript over at https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/podcasts/head-of-remote-doist  Chase discusses his new position as Head of Remote and talks about how as a community we can help each other learn and grow, and figure out what is the best way to overcome the challenges remote teams face. 24.36 mins Chase discusses the importance of bringing a team of people from different departments together to socialise and work on a new project, to help overcome feelings of isolation, loneliness, disconnection and disengagement.  Working remotely does have its own set of challenges to overcome, not in the way of changing the entire system, more so that we have systems in place to implement when facing these challenges. Having a social calendar can benefit remote work as there can be a time set at the end of each month for people to come together and connect. However there are ways to make these gatherings more impactful. (You can read Chase's article “How to Build Human Connections in an Async Workplace” from Doist's website.) Chase has created a “social crew” to have these gatherings be more structured,create innovative ideas and have a sense of leadership. Having a place  where individuals can come together to connect can be beneficial to not only the members involved but to the business as a whole. With these social crews there has to be intention behind the crews and the intention has to come from being connected at work, but not in the sense of being in the same departments. There are other factors that can connect people in the workplace, even when it is remotely.  Connecting members from different departments to work on a project each month can help prevent feelings of isolation and disconnection. The most important aspect of the crews is to create this feeling of connection and get members of the business outside of their “bubbles'', to make them get to know each other under a common goal.    45.45 mins Chase hosts the About Abroad podcast separately from his work at Doist, and it's the result of him being an American expat in Spain. During his travels he's met many other expats and digital nomads facing similar challenges to him. So he's created the About Abroad podcast to discuss these various challenges, help other expats, or people travelling outside of their country for the first time.  The podcast was originally set up to discuss living, travelling, and working abroad, but as his travels and discussions with people grew, the topic of remote work came into the discussion as well, as many expats do work remotely. There are a multitude of people from around the world who come on to the podcast and tell their own amazing stories, from building a community of nomads, to what it is like living in the South Pole. 42.57 mins As for Twist: Future of Work, this is a video  series that promotes the use of various products and services that can help with the future of work. Twist is one of the products that Chase encourages listeners to use (it's part of Doist, of course!)but  there are numerous products and services out there that seek to benefit the future of businesses. They have creators behind those products and services as well, and Chase is keen to feature them. Another aspect of this podcast series is to bring in founders of companies and discuss the ethics of the company, why they chose to start their own companies and any personal stories they want to share about the company and product.  51.55 mins Finally, Chase coversthe Estonia E-residency, which gives entrepreneurs and freelancers an opportunity to set up their own business in Estonia, and do business with other EU companies as well. Estonia E -residency does allow individuals to work remotely as an individual can live in another part of the world, for instance in Hungary, but they are seeking to do business in Estonia, they now have the means to accomplish this.    Working remotely does have its own set of challenges, however there are advantages to it as well and ways to overcome these challenges. If there are any questions that remote workers, entrepreneurs, and freelancers have regarding remote work there are ways to find the answers to them.You can connect with Chase on LinkedIn, and listen to About Abroad on all podcast apps, or from the show's website. 

In today's episode of The Expat Money Show, you will hear my recent interview with my friend Chase Warrington on his podcast called About Abroad. I really loved this episode because we talked about some important things, like travel, mindset, taxes, citizenship, 2nd residencies, my school and so many other things. Back in 2021, Chase Warrington was on my podcast, https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/chase-warrington (episode 157), so if you enjoy our conversation today, go and check out the episode I did with him.   HERE'S WHAT CHASE AND I TALKED ABOUT IN DETAIL: Why there is not just one way to do things, and why it's so important to find what's good for you, find your peeps, your tribe and when you do, how it can change your life! Listen in when I talk about the very best thing I have ever done in my life, what that is and how you can be a part of it. I talk with Chase Warrington about how I started travelling over 20 years ago and why it became part of my life, the reasons why I can do what I do in this crazy world. The most important lessons I learned from spending time in a government-run school and what made me so passionate about starting my own international school based on totally different concepts and ideas. Listen in as I talk about my superpower! Why I am able to do the things I do and why I've accomplished so much in my life. You can have this too! The benefits of having an international family. What does that look like in 2022 and what will life look like in 20 years for my children? Why it's so important for your children to speak multiple languages and how that is even possible for a 5-year-old child to speak English, Spanish and Mandarin fluently with German on the way, that has never stepped foot in a school. The 3 most important ways to recreate the social aspect of a child's life who attends school in a virtual world. How and why I became a freedom fighter and how I help my clients legally reduce their tax bill, using creative strategies and the benefits it has for their net worth and their investments. Chase and I talk about how our entire life is based on experiences, what those experiences have been and if you haven't had great ones yet, why travelling the world can change your life forever!  For those of you listening today to my interview on Chase Warrington's podcast or any of my episodes with any of my guests, and you've heard the story of my childhood and how horrible my education was, you may wonder -  why am I so confident? Where does his confidence come from… listen to this episode, we talk in detail about how and why this happened, especially at such a young age when things could have gone so horribly wrong. My best tips after working with private clients for years on educating children and the best ways to deal with living overseas. What you can do to escape the matrix this year Chase and I discuss my business, Expat Money, the type of client I work with and how I help these clients every day and how you can work with me too.    PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/webinar-expat-international-school (163: Expat International School - With Mikkel Thorup) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/chase-warrington (157: Working Remote From Spain - Chase Warrington) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/michael-strong/ (115: The Solution To Educating Your Children Abroad – Michael Strong)   How To Reach Us: https://expatschool.io (ExpatSchool.io) https://expatschool.io/schedule-a-call (ExpatSchool.io/schedule-a-call)   Conclusion There is just a ton of really great information in this podcast.

For remote employees and digital nomads, organizational abilities can make or break offsite work experience. Without physical supervision, peer pressure, and the experience of walking into the office, even small tasks can seem daunting, and motivation can plummet. How you structure your remote workday has a huge impact on how you spend your day and thus, how much you get done. And that's what Chase Warrington has been really passionate about - keeping a remote worker's day organized and structuredChase joins hosts Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in this episode of The New Nomad, talking about how important it is to get your tasks organized and the tools that you can use. Our three nomads also discussed the beauty of Valencia, Spain, and how they enjoyed paella (take note, the authentic paella does not have seafood). They shared their challenges and experiences in their nomad lifestyle where you can pick gold nuggets of information that can help you in your laptop-wielding lifestyle.
