The Digital Nomad Dilemma
As avid travelers navigating the online business landscape, we often encounter narratives portraying digital nomadism as a perpetual vacation. The reality, however, is far from the fantasy. In these articles, a common theme emerges – many aspiring expats struggle due to a lack of understanding of how to run a genuine business.
Crafting a Real Business as a Digital Nomad
When envisioning a location independent lifestyle, we don’t merely think of freelancing or odd jobs. Instead, we contemplate building a business that functions like a well-oiled machine. Proper business structures, often overlooked by many, are the cornerstone of a sustainable location independent lifestyle.
The Pitfalls of Constant Travel as a Digital Nomad
A recurring complaint in these articles revolves around the relentless hopping from one location to another. As individuals who have traversed the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean, we understand the toll constant movement can take. To counter this, we advocate for ‘slow travel,’ an approach where one immerses themselves in a single location for an extended period.

The intention is not permanence, but a conscious decision to savor the essence of a place before deciding on the next destination.
Balancing Act: Real Business and Residency:
For us, the sweet spot lies in harmonizing the location independent dream with a tangible business strategy. By running a business like a machine and embracing slow travel, we find equilibrium.
