Borders Optional
by Elizabeth
Borders Optional. We have honest, relaxed conversations with digital nomads, expats, remote workers, and travelers who have built lives outside their home countries, or are in the process of doing so.Each episode dives into the real side of living abroad: the wins, the challenges, the culture shock, the money, the logistics, and the personal growth that comes with choosing a different path.Whether you’re already living abroad or just starting to explore the idea, Borders Optional is here to show you that there’s no single “right” way to live — and that borders are optional.
