Tarek Kholoussy from Nomads Giving Back and Nomads Skillshare talks about how digital nomads can use their digital skillsets and influence to positively impact communities.
In this episode, Tarek shares his transition journey from corporate America to a traveling nomad and setting up bases — what were the events that triggered the change and the challenges/considerations he had during the transit. We also talk about the lessons that are learnt through experiencing different culture.
With the increasing debate about how nomads are impacting the places they visit, we dive deep into what nomads can do to make sure the positives outweighs the negative. What should nomads take note of and how they can contribute their skills for the greater good.
