🎙️ In this episode of the SAFAROTO podcast, I sit down with my good friend Emiliano, who has been traveling full-time for the past three years while working remotely as a software engineer. We dive deep into the digital nomad lifestyle—how he got started, the challenges he faced, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
We cover everything from choosing destinations and managing a travel budget to balancing work on the road and navigating visas. Emiliano shares insights on traveling solo vs. as a couple, the hardest and most rewarding travel moments, and even offers practical advice for landing a remote job and embracing the digital nomad lifestyle.We also touch on housesitting as a way to travel affordably, the importance of family in a nomadic life, and his latest project, The LoveRitual.com.
