Can you really afford not to try the Digital Nomad lifestyle?

Ryan sits down with Chris Chera, founder of Digital Nomad Trip Reports and an email entrepreneur who's been living location independent since 2018.

Chris went from paying over $2,000 a month for a shared London flat to $600 for a luxury condo in Chiang Mai with three pools and mountain views.

He found a way to work for himself, travel with his girlfriend for nearly a decade, and build community in cities around the world. For Chris, the money savings are just a bonus compared to the richness of experiences and culture he gains.

Ryan and Chris tackle the real questions you might be struggling with: How do you know if this lifestyle is actually right for you? What's the smartest way to test it without blowing up your life? How do couples avoid driving each other crazy when working from the same space?

You'll get practical answers on Thailand's new 5-year visa, the routine-based system Chris uses to make friends anywhere, and how he tests locations to see if its worth staying longer.

At the end, Chris shares the one question you absolutely must answer before you leave. Get this wrong and you'll book a flight home within months. Get it right and you'll understand exactly why you're doing this and how to make it last.

Listen and learn how to build a life where location is a choice, not a prison.
