(indecipherable - stream cut out)
We're live here!
Okay off to a slow start
anyway
This is not gonna be a long live stream because I just have an announcement to make and I have something to ask you guys for...
I have a favor to ask
So if you're new to this stream and this channel,
I'm Kristin and my channel is Traveling with Kristin and I do a daily livestream about the digital nomad lifestyle and traveling and
life and how to do whatever you want! Basically how to
live a life of freedom
Location independence and just make the world your oyster.
So I started this channel a year ago
because as many of you know, I've been a digital nomad for
like basically, I've been traveling around the world for like 15 years and
I've learned a lot and I own a relocation company and I've helped over a thousand people relocate to different countries and
All that great stuff, so I thought why am I not sharing all this information?
So I started a YouTube channel. I started a blog
I started a Facebook group to help people become digital nomads, and it's been awesome. It's been so much fun
Getting to know all of you guys and helping you with all of your questions about travel and remote work and
going nomadic and things like that, but
There's only so many hours in the day
There's only so many days in the year and there are hundreds of topics to cover
when it comes to the remote work lifestyle and location independent, so
One of the things I've been thinking of doing
Which I actually started doing in 2016
but haven't worked on it so much in the past year is writing a book about
how to
Actually become location independent how to transition from a traditional job to a digital nomad
lifestyle and
I've picked it back up again this month
Every single day I've been writing and I'm taking it very seriously
Because I honestly think it is
the most comprehensive way
to package all of the knowledge and expertise and information that I have on these topics and
Give it to you guys for the lowest possible price - like how much are books?
I don't know, ten dollars twenty dollars? So what I'm asking is for you guys to let me know
exactly what your most burning questions are about becoming a digital nomad and
I'll literally include them in my book
So the past year, I've been talking with a couple of publishers about it
but to be honest, I'm just gonna self publish it because
Going through publishers. It's just a huge waste of time and I don't need them. I have Amazon
There's other ways to publish it. So I
Could basically include whatever I want in it
I don't have to follow anyone's rules and so leave some comments
In the description or in the chat if you're here, I don't know if anyone's here... yeah a few people here. Hey guys
If you're just tuning in, I'm
announcing
That I am writing a book on how to become a digital nomad
Well, it's I've been writing it for two years, but I'm actually gonna finish it now
Writing a book is a huge project, but I'm motivated and I'm organized and I have at pretty much everything
almost done
But I just want to make sure that I'm answering everyone's questions on any topic that you have
Related to traveling or working remotely or how to quit your job or whatever it is. So
Let me know in the comments. If you have any questions, I'll include them in the book
you might even get a shout out in my book if you want to leave your name and
Yeah, that's my live stream for today is just to ask you guys for help - basically
crowdsourcing a book!
Crowdsourcing the questions that you guys have
To put into the books and I answer them for you. And of course I will keep answering on YouTube as well
but I love writing and
It is a very practical way of sharing information. I mean, good old-fashioned books
So that's what we're gonna do. Let me know your questions. I hope you guys are having a great Saturday
I'm gonna go venture out into the cold snowy icy dark Bansko and
See what's going on out there because I've been working a lot this week, but I did not go snowboarding today
No, I've been working, but I will go tomorrow. Did you guys catch the mountain stream?
I hope you liked the Mountain View live stream
You know, I might have to do another one of those cuz it's just so freaking beautiful out there
but if you missed it, it was all about how
If you're a digital nomad, you can live wherever you want and that includes spending the season affordably at a ski resort
because you can and
it's just funny because
There's a guy who I saw
two days in a row or like
Two different days within one week when I was on one of the ski lifts
And he recognized me and he still after two days of talking to him on ski lifts
He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that I was just living here for fun
He was like, "but you're by yourself, but you know people here and you have friends..."
"So you decided to spend your vacation here and work..." and I'm like no no, no - not vacation. This is life
This is real life
He didn't get it. He was
Like retired or something and I just don't think that he understood what what I was saying
He's like, "what about your family? Are you studying abroad?" - I get that a lot. No, I'm a little old for that
But yeah, it's just difficult to explain to people how this is an actual lifestyle
that you can do and not just me but
many people
Many of you so I want to help you guys see that because I think the world will be awesome
the more people that we have traveling around the more people that we have in our acting with people of other cultures and
the more people that we have working in jobs that they like
whether they're working for someone else are working for themselves and
The happier employees and workers there will be in the world contributing
their knowledge and their creativity in
better alignment
With themselves and not just being depressed working in jobs they hate so that's my mission in life
That's what I'm here to do. I
Hope you guys are having a great day and drop some comments and some questions and I'll answer them
Bye for now. I'll see you tomorrow on another live stream on traveling with Kristin
