Adaptability in Motion: Thriving in a World That Won’t Stop Changing
If there’s one constant in the modern world — especially for digital nomads, remote workers, and entrepreneurs — it’s change this is something I have learnt over the past 10 years of a digital nomad lifestyle and being a founder of a business while traveling. What I notice now is the speed at which technology is evolving, markets shifting, the great white shark of uncertainty and lifestyles transforming, for me it has never been faster moving than it is today. It can give you a feeling of being a deer in the headlights; I get it! Not knowing, what to do next what to learn or where to put your…

Business Is Built on Relationships: From Breath to Bytes
For digital nomads, remote workers, and full‑time travellers, and founders business doesn’t live in an office. It lives in conversations across time zones, in shared tables at cafés, in messages sent on platforms/ social networks and communities we interact with and from airport lounges, and in the trust we build we without ever shaking hands. At its core, business is not about transactions.It’s about relationships. And the most resilient businesses — especially nomadic ones — are built on a deep understanding that everything in life is relational. Not just clients and partners.But our relationship with ourselves.With our body.With money.With technology.With nature.And even with something as simple — and profound —…

Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable: Your Adventure Awaits
Hey there, beautiful soul! Let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind lately—and probably yours too if you’re reading this. You know that cozy little bubble we all love to live in? The one where everything feels safe, predictable, and wonderfully familiar? Yeah, that comfort zone. Here’s the truth bomb: it’s probably the very thing standing between you and the most incredible version of yourself. The Comfort Trap (And Why We Love It So Much) I get it. Comfort feels good. We are creatures who like the familiar. It’s like your favorite worn-in jeans or that coffee shop where the barista knows your order by heart. But here’s what…

Breaking Free: How to Combat Self-Doubt While Building Your Digital Nomad Business
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 dream of freedom calls to you—working from anywhere, building something of your own, living minimally and traveling the world. But there’s a voice, isn’t there? That persistent whisper that asks: What if I’m not capable? What if I fail? Who am I to think I can actually do this? Welcome to the battleground every entrepreneur and aspiring digital nomad knows intimately: self-doubt. After years of building…

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.”…

A Lesson in Detachment: A Digital Nomad’s Practical Guide to Letting Go
When Loss Teaches You How to Really Live Let me tell you something—loss has kicked my butt, torn my heart apart, and somehow continues to teach me the most important lessons of my life, being that you can… turn your challenge into opportunity. Recently, I lost my mum (my best friend and the bravest woman; having brought me into this world with grace), my dad (who I always said was my angel on earth, now is my spirit angel), close friends, family, and even my dog (who I spent more years with then my siblings growing up) so his loss was really very deep also. Each loss stripped me down…

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…
