The reality behind the digital nomad lifestyle

<p><strong>Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s the true good, bad, and ugly of digital nomad life. Hosted by Frances Cook.</strong></p> <p>I’m sure we’ve all considered it at some point – whether we could chuck in the office job, and go make a life on the beach somewhere, maybe getting in some freelance work from a laptop to make sure the pina coladas keep flowing.</p> <p>And there’s plenty of glossy Instagram content urging you to do exactly that.</p> <p>To go travel while you can, become a digital nomad, live the best of both worlds by travelling and working at the same time.</p> <p>It’s hard to know what the reality is behind the scenes though, because not many people want to admit if they give it a crack, and then find it really hard.</p> <p>Luckily, I’ve found someone who’s actually willing to share with us, the good, the bad, and the ugly of what it’s actually like.</p> <p>For the latest podcast I talked to Sarah Kelsey from The OneUp Project.</p> <p>If you have a question about this podcast, or a question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.
