Maria has been in business since 2007. A travel company she co-founded at the age of 18 scaled to a nation-level tour operator in Russia with 5 office locations, and an 8-figure business, serving thousands of students annually and working in several countries. While working on the business, Maria frequently "ran away" to work remotely, pursue volunteering and community opportunities all around the world, from Nigeria to Costa Rica. The thought of living where she want and sharing her life with people she enjoyed, became very sticky. In 2015 she did an MBA at IE business school in Madrid and decided to pursue this nomadic idea further and start a coliving space in the Canaries. In 2016 Restation Coliving opened its' doors. Since 2016 Restation grew from 1 to 4 properties and hosted over 1300 nomads as residents. In 2017 Maria co-founded Nomad Train travel initiative together with two fellow nomads and Restation residents. Nomad Train brings digital nomads across Russia from Moscow to the capital of Mongolia and goes annually. Restation is a perfect year-round urban beach destination coliving for digital nomads. They are a strong communty, bringing together remote entrepreneurs and remote workers. And the strong part of the community is girls - 60% female! http://restation.co/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/msirotkina/

He shares stories of his entrepreneurial, nomadic and biohacking journey towards becoming a better human. I met Ben shortly before the Nomad Cruise at the Restation coliving space in Gran Canaria island. Ben was a pillar of the Nomad Cruise 8 community and has subsequently become a good friend via a weekly mastermind group he organized. In this interview I got a chance to sit down with him after the cruise and ask him questions about his entrepreneurial endeavors, nomadic stories from his 8 years on the road, lessons from biohacking his way to the title of fittest man in Thailand and the usual queries of gear, hacks, book recommendations and more. If you're looking for advice on how to do long-term, sustainable nomadic travel, look no further than this episode.

She provides tactical strategies for bootstrapping a lean startup, growth hacking, and paying attention to the right metrics and KPIs.
