Why am I talking about climate change on a digital nomad blog? Because nobody else is and we can’t avoid it any longer. And because I believe digital nomads are in a unique and privileged situation to take action. So to start the conversation, I will share my own climate story with you here today and what I plan to do next. The elephant in the room I’ve been wanting to talk about climate change in the digital nomad world for a very long time.  But I am also terrified. I’m terrified of getting it “wrong” and alienating my own community.  After all, my business is calle ..read more

This month I am celebrating the 7th birthday of my community, Digital Nomad Girls. I took this moment to celebrate this milestone, but also to reflect on everything I’ve learned. But first, let’s go back a few years.   Why I started DNG In August 2015, I had been working online for only a few short months, I was living in Chiang Mai, Thailand and figuring out this whole digital nomad thing. Before that, I was a scientist, but after receiving my PhD in 2013 I left the world of academia behind to travel the world. After backpacking through South and Central America and then doing a working ..read more

I’m so angry right now.   And I’m trying to filter it but I am sick and tired of trying to filter everything, to edit and format so the algorithms love it and Google approves of its “readability” and to make sure I don’t accidentally say anything that could offend anyone.   Don’t get me wrong, I do not want to offend or hurt anyone. But after I’ve edited and formatted and checked my language the anger will have dissipated and I’ll be so exhausted that I’ll binge 5 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy instead of allowing myself to share my anger.   So I didn’t filter too much. I hope that ..read more

Recently I’ve been struggling with a common issue for business owners and digital nomads: Decision Fatigue! ? I’d been trying to decide what kind of content I would like to regularly create for Digital Nomad Girls and I couldn’t decide whether that should be ? video content or a ? podcast. You might’ve even heard me talk about this before because I’ve been going back and forth about this for literally years and I’m driving myself insane. ? So instead of doing either videos or a podcast, I’ve been doing nothing because I’ve just been overthinking it, which led me to realize that this is somethi ..read more

I don’t know about you, but as a business owner and digital nomad, I often feel totally overwhelmed and out of my depth. So today I thought I’d share some tips on how I deal with overwhelm when it hits. So, yesterday I shared a little poll in the DNG Facebook Group because I wanted to write a blog post to get back into a content creation routine, but I was totally confused, overwhelmed and overthinking what to write about. Here’s what I shared: “OMG I’m in a total overthinking loop right now!! Help me!  ? I want to start blogging again and can’t decide what to write about first, ugh! Whic ..read more
