The people who live with us and the material possessions with which we furnish our home space are essential aspects of the place where we dwell.

As we emerge on the other side of the Covid crisis, one thing is clear: remote work is here to stay. Employers were finally awakened to the advantages of enabling work-from-anywhere for knowledge workers, which includes access to a global talent pool without the hassles of relocation; the flexibility afforded employees directly translates to productivity and job satisfaction, and the reduced need for corporate real estate. Technology has made it easier for employees and employers to interact, and there are also many benefits for both parties.In this episode of The New Nomad, Ixo Szapar, Co-founder of Remote-how, joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in discussing remote and hybrid work and why it's here to stay. They also talked about why businesses need to listen up and look beyond today to build more progressive workplace policies that will help employees thrive.

Have you ever gone sailing? How about living on a boat? Well, it's not for everyone. While many people think sailing is all smooth seas, sunshine, sunsets, and beautiful beaches, it's also a lot of hard work and can be incredibly challenging. Sometimes we just need a little inspiration or some friendly reminders about why we continue to battle the seasickness and the fear and the storms to reach that personal nirvana and freedom that comes from being one with the sea.In this episode of The New Nomad with Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski, Erin Carey, founder of Roam Generation, regales the audience with her exciting adventures in their boat life.

Many professionals and employees have realized that the newly implemented remote and flexible work policies have allowed them to work free from the anchor of a company office or workspace. This has given birth to far more remote workers and digital nomads seeking freedom of movement while still building a career. Of course, stable internet connection, distraction-free working spaces, and access to necessities are a must. This is where Mark Phillips of Nomad Stays is an expert.Mark joins our hosts, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in this episode of The New Nomad. They talked about how important accommodation is for the laptop-wielding workers and what are the things to look out for when finding a place to stay. They discussed their adventures as nomads themselves and their experiences in countries budding as digital nomad destinations.

If you feel dragged to a Zoom meeting in the middle of the night when most of your colleagues are fully awake because it's daytime where they're at, you are not alone. The lack of real-time communication is becoming increasingly prominent in the workplace. For this reason, asynchronous communication is becoming a preferred means of communication in the workplace - making it easier for employees to work remotely without fear that they're missing out on critical conversations happening at the office. Tyler Sellhorn, Head of Customer Experience at Yac, is your go-to man when it comes to this type of work communication.Tyler joins our hosts, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski, in this episode of The New Nomad as they talk about the evolution of communication at work. Since most companies opened their doors to working remotely, communication has to be adjusted as well. They discussed why both synchronous and asynchronous meetings are important and the benefits employees and businesses can get from them. It won't be surprising if companies adopt this shift as well. Truly an enlightening and timely conversation between our three nomads! [3:41] People are people long before they are workers[7:40] Success in the internet[12:04] Asynchronous meetings maintain remote team alignment[14:53] Synchronous: Bond, Asynchronous: Work[23:19] Transitioning to remote work is an individual's decision after all[25:20] Trust in remote work is vitalGUEST BIO:Tyler Sellhorn is the Head of Customer Experience at Yac. However, Tyler didn't begin his career as a “location-independent” advocate. Tyler actually has over 10-years of experience in secondary math education under his belt. However, after over a decade of educating young minds, Tyler pivoted sharply to a fully-remote role in B2B SaaS in 2019, working for Hubstaff. Not only was this an industry change, but also a career change as Tyler went from educator to Customer Success Manager and then shortly to Director of Customer Experience. Since then, Tyler's enthusiasm for remote and async-first work is clearly evident.In Tyler's short time in the remote and async landscape, he's talked up a storm – interviewing the best and brightest in async on his Remote Show podcast, amassed a tidy remote-centric following on LinkedIn and Twitter, and taken up the remote gauntlet at Yac.Tyler Sellhorn Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tyler-sellhornTwitter: TSell89Website: tylersellhorn.tech/Follow Insured Nomads at:Instagram: @insurednomadswww.insurednomads.com

Digital nomads are professionals who can work from anywhere - all they need is a decent Wi-Fi connection and a smartphone or laptop. They work in foreign countries, coffee shops, or shared spaces.

Aurelie Krau, a consultant at Festive Road and public speaker, can definitely attest to that.In the absence of Andrew Jernigan, Allen Koski joined by Aurelie in educating and entertaining our audience in this episode of The New Nomad.

Traveling is fun. You can experience a whole new culture and learn about the place first hand.

There's a reason why professionals from almost every industry have jumped onto the bandwagon of internet marketing. It's because they realized the ability of the internet to build brands.

We're currently seeing the rise of digital nomad visas worldwide as well as entrenched communities of remote workers and ex-pats settle in hotspots and hubs across the globe.

We all like music, one genre or the other. I don't believe there's a single person that actually dislikes all types of music. Some people love music to a concerning degree like it's the only thing they think about and want so constantly that it feels like an addiction. It's far more than a want, it's a need. Ultimately, music has changed our lives and still changes us every day. That same passion drove Kia Orion to where he is right now - running Beat School and teaching how to create cool music.In this episode of The New Nomad, Kia joins hosts Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in exploring the world of beats and what it took to thrive in it. From making 10 years' worth of mistakes and failed tries, Kia finally pursued his passion for music by creating and teaching his students good ole' ground thumpin' beats. Our trio of nomads also discussed the challenges in this niche and tips on how to be successful in it. This is a fun-filled (and music tips-filled) episode that you wouldn't want to miss.

Originally from New York, he grew up as the guy hustling his mixtape out of the backpack. After college and a brief stint working at Island/Def Jam, he realized the major label life was not for him. Kia spent four years in Philly, and then after hitting an all-time low got fed up with how life was going. So he sold everything he owns, quit his job, and bought a one-way ticket to Northern Thailand.These days, Kia makes music, creates content, runs Beat School, and obsesses over the process.Kia Orion Links:Website: https://www.kiaorion.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kiaorion/?hl=enSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/kiaorionFollow Insured Nomads at:Instagram: @insurednomadswww.insurednomads.com

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.

Whoever said that a community is a way of life could never be more correct. As human beings, we need a sense of belonging, and that sense of belonging is what connects us to the many relationships we develop. Communities are also rich in resources, that is where their collective aspect comes into play. No matter where you go, there will always be a group of people who share the same passion and interests. If there is none, build one! And that is exactly what Gonçalo Hall does. He builds communities and helps them thrive in remote work life.In this episode of The New Nomad, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski joined by Gonçalo in a very passionate discussion about Portugal, remote work, and the importance of communities. While it's so tempting to just get lost in a new country and find your way by yourself, it is also good to know that there are communities of digital nomads and remote workers who have local knowledge of the place and can help you out. Our trio of digital nomads discussed experiences and gave gold-nugget tips on how to thrive in this laptop lifestyle. This episode is really an episode that is not to be missed out on![3:41] Building communities in “cold” places[7:19] Activities that keep digital nomads grounded[11:01] Fast internet: a non-negotiable[13:42] All about remote work visa[18:39] How communities help[23:55] The future for remote workers of Africa: learn moreGUEST BIO:Gonçalo Hall is a remote work evangelist who works to make remote work the new normal by educating people and companies about the best strategies to plan and implement remote work. In the last 5 years, Gonçalo spent time in Europe and Asia, from Germany to Bali, Vietnam, and Thailand as a digital nomad, and has been enjoying the amazing connections and inspiration that this lifestyle allows him to have. Launched in 2019 The Remote Work Movement Podcast, where you can hear from the top leaders on the remote work movement, Remote Shift conference in Lisbon, Portugal, and several workshops around the world, from Budapest to Brazil. When he is not talking about remote work he is organizing events about it, the first one was Remote Shift in Portugal followed by several smaller events around the world. In 2020 Gonçalo is organizing conferences in Brazil and Portugal, always focused on the movement he is building. Remote work is more than a passion, it became a mission to help everyone who would like to have this lifestyle to achieve it.Gonçalo Hall Links:LinkedIn & TwitterWebsite: Digital Nomad Village Madeira Islands, Digital Nomads Caparica & Remote Europe  Follow The New Nomad, click here.Follow Insured Nomads at:Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, Twitterwww.insurednomads.com

Balancing thought and action will always be a challenge for many people. When you spend too much time studying and picturing what a project is going to be like, too much time thinking about how awesome it will be, and too little time actually making the thing, you make no progress. It doesn't hurt to research but is there a thing like too much research? Yes, there is. So just take the action and get your plans rolling. That's just what Mitko Karshovski did. He majored in the fields of Microbiology, Biotechnology, Art History, Journalism, and Creative Writing then eventually put all the collective wisdom he gained into action.Mitko joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in another knowledge-filled episode of The New Nomad. They discussed the pros and cons of passion and why it is better to pursue something that sparks your interest and turn it into a raging fire. Our three nomads share their experiences and give away kernels of helpful tips on how to thrive in the world of location independence.

What better way to appreciate what you have than giving back to those who are in need? It is true that we find happiness and contentment in helping others reach their dreams, may it be as simple as rebuilding their houses or as grand as traveling the world. It is innate to us as humans to have this urge to be of service to others. That is exactly what David Richter did, as is still doing to this point. Being one of the board members of Tabitha Foundation, a foundation that helps enable Cambodia's poorest of the poor to recognize and develop inherent skills that will allow them to live a respected and dignified life.In this episode of The New Nomad, David joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in sharing what it really means to give back to the world. Working with their hands in building houses and educating people, our three travelers with big hearts spared no detail in regaling their experience in Cambodia and other places too.

He spent the early 1980's working in a refugee camp in Phanat Nikom, Thailand, and met hundreds of Cambodian refugees.  Hearing their harrowing escape and survival stories was devastating, David supports their cause whenever he learns of an organization that is working to rebuild their country and mend their hearts.David went to Cambodia with his family in 2004 and returned seven times to build houses under the auspices of the Tabitha Foundation, a community development nonprofit based in Phnom Penh. Dave serves on the Tabitha U.S.A. board and, in March, led a 16-member team back to Cambodia. Through this foundation, Dave has been leading groups of volunteer “builders” to Cambodia to build houses for families who can't afford them (prior experience not required).  For the past 7 years, Dave works together with teams of volunteers and he says, “this is an incredibly moving experience – both humbling and exhilarating.”David Richter Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-richter-0ba148/Website: https://www.richterintl.com/Website: https://tabitha-cambodia.org/programmes/family_partnership_list/sort:name/direction:ascFollow Insured Nomads at:Instagram: @insurednomadswww.insurednomads.com

How do you really know a culture? Immerse yourself in it! Travelers are increasingly seeking these authentic, immersive experiences in new places. Being unfamiliar with the basics, like how to get around, how to speak the language, which restaurants serve the real deal, and which serve a touristy rendition of local food, can be very difficult to understand the bigger picture. But there's no need to fear because immersing yourself in other cultures is the best thing you can do for yourself.David Mcneil of Expat Empire joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in another meaningful and educational episode of The New Nomad, discussing what it really means to be a modern nomad.

Do you have an idea how it feels to be a citizen of one country but raised in another? If you are one of the people who were raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their country of nationality, and also live in a different environment during a significant part of their child development years, then you are a Third Culture Kid. Exposure to various cultures is a beneficial yet somehow traumatizing experience for children as they become confused with their “mirrors and anchors”.In this episode of The New Nomad, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski are joined by Ruth Van Reken in talking about the benefits and challenges of the TCK experience. As a citizen of the USA raised for thirteen years in Nigeria, Ruth E. Van Reken is a TCK and openly shares her experience and stand when it comes to cross-culture upbringing. Our three nomads provided tips on how to cope with challenges and explain the repercussions of this rewarding though confusing experience to anyone, children and adults alike. It is definitely an episode not worth missing![5:53] Born in one country, raised in another[9:05] Dealing with repetitive cycles of separation and loss[17:28] Raising awareness about TCKs[21:04] First of all, your kid is a kid[22:21] Of anchors, routes, and mirrors[27:26] Not stupid, just out of my contextGUEST BIO:Ruth E.

When you think of remote work, you can almost always relate it to having a drink with a tiny umbrella on a beach somewhere exotic while tapping on your laptop or having a Zoom meeting in a cozy mountain lodge in front of a roaring fire. That is not always the case. Some people are just grateful to be working remotely because it is a necessity for the health of their child and family. In this The New Nomad episode, Rowena Hennigan joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski. Becoming a mother at 40, Rowena regales the audience with her experience as a digital nomad and tips on how to balance work and family.
