In this episode, we meet Lazar Dimitrijevic from Serbia – one of the Nomad Summit Scholarship winners whose journey to Chiang Mai became the spark for his digital-nomad dreams.

Lazar shares how a simple Instagram post and a five-minute application video completely changed his trajectory. From being an aspiring nomad with a creative passion to spending a week surrounded by mentors, founders, and remote workers in Thailand, the scholarship gave him the confidence to build a location-independent career.

Christoph joins from Kyiv during his humanitarian mission to Ukraine, while Palle tunes in on his birthday to hear how Lazar's experience at Nomad Summit Chiang Mai opened new doors – from mentorship with Nomad Magazine to real client collaborations and a growing international network.
