We've all seen the Instagram posts: laptops on beaches, sunset co-working sessions, the #digitalnomad lifestyle that looks effortlessly perfect. But what's the real story behind leaving everything behind to work remotely from paradise?
In our latest episode of Out of Plaece, we pull back the curtain on our own journey: from the years of planning and sacrifices, when we discovered we were both planning to flee to different countries, to the reality check that hit us hard overseas.
Watch or listen to find out what we actually learnt.
After years of sacrifices, planning, and finally leaping into location-independent life, the biggest lesson wasn't what we expected.
It wasn't about Instagram-worthy laptop-on-beach moments.
It wasn't about "finding ourselves" in some exotic location.
It was about something much more fundamental—and much harder to achieve than we thought.
