    One "simple" way to transition from a normal office job to remote work, is to work hard and be(come) skilled at what you do. That's why my employer at the time decided to continue my employment, when I wanted to go remote. And later decided to continue hiring me as a contractor. Had I been less proficient earlier, when I still had no plans about going remote, I'm sure that he would've made another decision.

    I am a total homebody who is just started traveling within country to visit family after many years. I do enjoy working remotely from home. I think it is so interesting to see people's different jobs as nomads. I think you should do a lot more of these types of videos. I tire of the digital marketing entrepreneurs and social media influencers saturating the space. It's refreshing to see others manage other types of employment to power their lifestyle that is more suited to private or camera-shy people. Thank you!

Ive only been at this lifestyle a few months and still back and forth from home base trying to transition into it so that im away for longer periods. But this really helps the new nomads feel a sense of reassurance. It’s exciting to see where the world is headed. What I know is my few months the first time were the best months of this year. I went as an experiment to try it out. Realised it worked. :) Taking a leap of faith and just diving in.

    As an employer, it is actually quite difficult to hire people to work remotely. You either have to have a registered company in their country of residency or you have to hire an EOR. I would be really interested to hear how nomads who work full-time as an employee (not a consultant or contractor) do this as the employer is obligated to pay taxes (social security, disability, etc.) on behalf of the employee.

    • @TravelingwithKristin
      @TravelingwithKristin  ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Hi Melissa, yes that can be a complex topic but there are many remote and traditional companies who do it. There are also some companies that offer services to help companies staff remote workers. I talk about it a bit on my podcast, Badass Digital Nomads

    • @wootboop666
      @wootboop666 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Hey Melissa. I've worked for over 5 years remotely. It depends a bit on the situation of your employees. If they're registered in the same country as yoy, you dont have to change anything. If they reside outside of the country however, its better to switch type of contract from employment to consultancy.
      But if most of your remote workers work from a certain country, you could set up a company in that country that you employ them through.

      Just hire them as freelancers. Just like you pay any service in the internet, you don't care where are they located. They actually lose the benefits and for you as an employer its a plus ( no need to pay extra or follow some regulations). some even accept crypto which makes its easier when reporting and moving between countries (like me). Report anything you like :-)

    It's so interesting to hear different perspectives on working like a nomad. It's something I've been considering, but I've never taken the step. As a Dutchie, I was living in Sweden for 7 years, but I always worked for companies in the same city, and never became my own boss. That's something I'd love to achieve in the near future. This video definitely makes me motivated to take the step! Thanks for sharing this Kristin!

    The first guy, Hans, actually has a physical, in person business that was already operating before he was able to do management remotely. He also advises people not to go to uni, but he certainly used his job as an engineer (which he qualified for by attending uni) to get the capital to start his business. Or his parents just gave him the money. It's very difficult, though not impossible, to start anywhere with just $1000 a month if you have nothing.

    It's the first time when I watched the video about digital nomads. It's so interesting how people change their careers very quickly and start doing something new from the beginning. As I could see for becoming a digital nomad you should have some specific profession that gives you the chance to try yourself in a new field, in remote job. As a former microbiologist I can't imaging myself working remotely. But I'd like to try to find myself in this field.

    I'm focused on becoming a digital nomad within the next 6-12 months, starting off locally and then moving out into the world- I'm doing so much research right now, getting ready to launch my online income streams, preparing myself for only having to take care of one child after raising 7 (youngest is 14, 19 year old is also learning how to run online businesses and is planning on moving out to the nearest city with friends this year). I'm making sure that I'm financially, emotionally, mentally and physically prepared for being an empty nester within the next 4-5 years- my youngest has a passion for Japan and Ireland, I have a passion for those places and France (Europe in general really), as well as discovering new things about myself and the world, so digital nomadism and the freedom it gives suits me perfectly.
