Why take this course?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could work from anywhere and travel the world? There are now more jobs than ever where all you need is access to the internet. With more tools than ever available at your disposal, traveling the world as a Digital Nomad is now a reality

I designed this class specifically for people who want to travel the world but don’t know how to make the leap. Whether you’re an employee, freelancer, or entrepreneur, you’ll learn how to strategically transition your job into a location-independent career so you can live and grow on your own terms. You’ll learn the different ways of making money. you’ll learn how to explore the city as a local and make friends. You’ll even learn how to find love while traveling.

This is NOT a course that will tell you to quit your job tomorrow and start traveling.

That is a pipe dream and is not sustainable.

This is a course that will teach you how to use your strengths and passions to transform your career while keeping a steady income. In addition to getting a condensed knowledge transfer from me, you’ll get access to dozens of interviews of real people who have managed to escaped their cubicles and are now living their dream of traveling their world while working.

I’ve been an active Digital Nomad for years. I’ve traveled to over 30 countries was selected from over 50,000 applicants to be a participant in Remote Year, a program that brings together successful Digital Nomads from all over the world so we can work and travel together for a year.

I also have a passion for teaching. I’ve taught for Stanford University, UCLA, and General Assembly and have launched 3 online classes on Udemy with over 5,000 students enrolled from all over the world. You can tell how much value I’ve given my students by the hundreds of 5 star ratings and satisfied reviews left by my students.

Learn how to turn your dream into reality.

This course was a good course for me. I am thinking about being a Digital Nomad. I may have to dip my feet in uncharted waters. The guess interviews were amazing. Some of the content was cut short.

It is useful when it comes to example stories of how other people have made it as digital nomads, but it somehow falls short when it comes to the strategic aspects of running a business at distance. Personally, that's more what I was looking for rather than receiving tips on 'how to stay healthy' or 'how to find love'. It seems like filler material.

very few actual specific on what to do. what actions and steps to take. it's mainly all general background stuff.

To be honest I am 1/3 done with this course and I can't find here any valuable informations, only an omnipresent boredom. What you can find here are interviews with digital nomads and informations like that you can find easily on yt without having to pay any money. And parts of the course like "How to find true love"... are we serious right now? It was added to make course seems like a "complete". Instructor created a list with places where you can apply to work as a digital nomad but most of them are offers on the same payable website. I think we could have figured that one out by ourselves. I hoped that actually guy running a course might help me when I e-mailed him but no answer. I have found an on-line job without using any of the information from the course. I only paid 10 euro but still that was a waste of time. It had potential to be something interesting but reality is that I don't recommend you buying it.

Instructor really went out of his way to collect quality, real interviews with people living the lifestyle being presented in the course. Content was well sectioned in digestible chunks. Ultimately this course raised my confidence in my ability to work while traveling.

Although not every single part of this guide was equally exciting to me - just because it covers so much content - it gave me some amazing inspiration! Usually unsure what to do because of the many options and advice out there in the world, I had some kind of epiphany throughout the course about on what I need to focus next on my journey to become a digital nomad and achieve the kind of freedom I wish for my life. Great course. Highly recommended.

This course was not only helpful for fleshing out what type of digital nomad you might want to be but also gives great suggestions on how to find work. I've had the already started applying to a few jobs that would allow me to work remotely and it's all thanks to this course. I would have never thought I could do it before! Fingers crossed for the future!

It is giving a lot of practical advice, also you have different examples of how this could work to become a digital nomad, what things to think about if you want to take the leap and the necessary steps you have to take to make your dream come true. Very interesting, inspiring and informative course. Thank you Charles for sharing this great content!

I love how Charles breaks down how to find what you're good at in order to realize your goal on becoming a digital nomad. I also really like how he incorporates real life people who can give solid advice regarding working while traveling.

I like it how this introduction lays a good systematic ground for starting remote work. And I was surprised about debunking the myth of remote work = freelancers. I like the step by step approach and mindset to talking to your employer. That you should keep a postitive attitude and keep in mind the benefits for the company. Present your plan for working remote to your employer, instead of asking for their opinion. The more laid out your plan is, the more confident your will sound. The more they will believe it will work.

This is one of the best courses I've taken. It's helpful informative and easy to follow along. He tells you how to make this a new way of living not only financially but how to be successful overall as a digital nomad in all areas of life - which I thought was really unique. I also really loved all the interviews. This class was great ! I'm excited to get started !! Thank you Charles !
