Taking Your Career on the Road as an Expat and Nomad with Al Elliott

In this episode of the Expat Empire Podcast, we will be hearing from Al Elliott. Al and his wife Leanne were living comfortably in Manchester, England but couldn't shake the feeling that they wanted to see more of the world. Al's work could be done all online while Leanne's employer ultimately agreed to letting her continue to do her job remotely, so they set off for Spain in 2013. Once they knew Brexit was coming in 2021, they decided to leave Spain in 2017 to become digital nomads with the goal of visiting every country in the European Union before Brexit happened.    After a few years of incredible travels across Asia and Europe, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Al and Leanne were stopped in their tracks, forcing them to reevaluate their plans. They eventually applied for the brand new Digital Nomad Visas in Croatia in May 2021. With the end of the residence permit's 12-month duration approaching, they are currently in the middle of planning their next move to Portugal!   Listen to this great conversation with Al to hear how he and his wife took their careers on the road, lived and traveled to some amazing places, and made their ambitious international dreams a reality!   LEARN in this episode:   ✔ How you can approach your employer to get permission to work remotely   ✔ What the difficult process of applying for Croatia's Digital Nomad Visa was like   ✔ Tips for remote working, staying productive while on the road, traveling with your partner, and much more   FIND Al at:   ► A Sideways Life Podcast: https://asidewayslife.com/ ----- SCHEDULE your free consulting call: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireContact   DOWNLOAD our free Top 10 Tips for Moving Abroad eBook: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireTop10   REVIEW us: https://ratethispodcast.com/expatempire   DONATE to support the show: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireDonation   FOLLOW us on Social Media:   ► Instagram: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireIG   ► Facebook: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireFB   ► LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireLI
