Travel is comparatively easy now with all the information at our fingertips, but this was not always the case. In this episode, we speak to OG globetrotter Nora Dunn from The Professional Hobo about how her nomadic journey started more than a decade ago when technology was not as advanced as we know it.
In hindsight, things were different back then. It wasn’t just travel that was boosted by technology but also job/business opportunities. Nora shares how she gave it all up in the early days and went in search of a new life. We dive deep into perception changes through travel, as well as how it is much easier to build a remote career today. Find out insights about the business of blogging as well as what might be installed for the future of digital nomads and remote workers.
