"Kristin is an amazing host. She has extensive experience as a veteran digital nomad. Her episodes really hone in on what aspiring digital nomads want to know (when you don’t know what you need to know!) and topics and challenges more relevant to veteran nomads. I get so excited when another episode comes out! Definitely check it out!"
