Why You’ll Epically Fail Within 6 Months of Being a Digital Nomad
Don’t make the same mistakes I did
6 months into being completely independent and I hit a wall. Sitting in my Mexico City apartment, crying, the dreaded truth that I failed loomed over me: I was failing as a digital nomad.

Travel the world full time? Check.
Make a paycheck I could finally live on comfortably? Check.
Start saving for retirement for the first time? Check.

The truth is that I utterly failed as a digital nomad. You don’t have to follow in my footsteps.
So how can you tell if it's going to all go down the drain?
