You’re staring at your laptop screen in a café somewhere between your old life and your new one. Maybe you’re in Bali, or Lisbon, or still sitting in your apartment, one browser tab open to flight deals and another to your business plan.

The Hidden Law of Nature: Cooperation
After ten years on the road — since leaving my rowing team near Noosa and tracing a trail through seventy countries — one truth keeps surfacing like the steady rhythm of oars slicing through still water: nature runs on cooperation. Not competition. Not conflict. Just cooperation — quiet, consistent, and life-sustaining. As digital nomads, we often think we’re solo rowers out on a vast ocean, but look closer — every connection we make becomes part of the same crew. Each shared café table, coliving dinner, or coworking chat is another stroke that moves the boat forward. Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”…

How a Visa Stuff-Up Turned Into the Best Detour of My Life
Ever had life serve you a curveball so wild you could either cry into your coffee… or laugh and roll with it? Spoiler alert: I chose the second option (with a cheeky glass of wine on the side). I’m Linda, Aussie-born, Northern Terra-torian (a bit of a terror some times) co-founder of Nomad Stays, and professional mischief-maker when it comes to turning chaos into adventure. My partner (in both business and life), our dog, and I packed up our lives in Australia, all fired up to relocate to France on this shiny thing called the French Tech Visa. We thought it’d be smooth sailing — two weeks of paperwork, tops.…

Unleash Your Inner Lion: 5 Superpowers for Ferocious Focus
Have you ever watched a lion on the African wild using their super power of focus on their prey? I was lucky enough to walk with the lions in Africa (with men and riffles) It was a masterclass in observation of single-minded determination and instinkt (also trust in the people who where in command of these beautiful creatures). I observed that as soon as you turn your back, the predator stands absolutely still, eyes narrowed, every muscle tense and ready. In those moments, nothing exists but the target—the hunt is everything. Pic: by unsplash Truth… Alright, full disclosure—I’m usually the first person in the room to get distracted and happily;…

The Most Successful Business Model in the World? Religion.
What do you mean? (scratching your head) When we talk about successful business models, we often think of Apple, Amazon, or Google. But if you take a step back and zoom out over centuries rather than financial quarters, you’ll see that the most enduring, influential, and wildly successful “business” model the world has ever seen is… religion. Before you click away—hear me out. This isn’t about faith or belief. It’s about structure, strategy, scalability, and sustainability. Because when you strip back the theology, what’s left is a business model that has lasted thousands of years, reached billions of “customers,” scaled globally without digital tools, and influenced every sector of society—from…
