Episode 79: Answering Common Questions for New Digital Nomads with Polyglot Illeana Salvo
Hello listeners! Welcome back to the School of Travels podcast. My guest today, Illeana Salvo, has an incredible story of how she turned her love of languages at an early age into the chance to travel internationally, live in Japan, and then eventually become location independent through helping one of her online language students with a new project. From dealing with taxes when you’re not really based in one country to how to handle the feeling that you’re missing out on climbing the corporate ladder by being nomadic, Illeana and I discuss a number of issues that can come up for new digital nomads. I hope you enjoy Illeana’s story and find it useful for questions you may have about leading this nomadic lifestyle. Without further ado, here is Illeana.
