Asking Digital Nomads What They Do For a Living (Bali, Indonesia)

[@ChristopherChiu]

I've been a nomad since 2013 bc of the Tim Ferris 4-hour Work Week book....watching your video has been a nice refresher from others that have gained experience & wisdom. Each one of your guests really shared insights that rings so true to me. If you are new or thinking about becoming a nomad, learn from these entrepreneurs & their success! Really enjoyed this video brother. Thank you.

[@liquidfluid11]

I love to hear that man! I definitely felt I was meant to hear what these people said as well as I sat down with them. 2013? Dude that's impressive honestly. I really am not sure what kind of opportunities were available at that time to be a digital nomad. I know the book came out a long while before that but still. Good for you brother!

[@muharathataron8731]

Being a nomad was one of my dreams. I met one guy in Krabi Thailand who teaches IELTS online and have been living around the world for a few years. How cool is that you can travel around the world and earning enough money for living.

[@liquidfluid11]

Super cool! What's IELTS?

[@muharathataron8731]

It's the British English proficiency tests. It's required if a student wants to apply to universities in English speaking countries. @@liquidfluid11

Hello everyone! I am a canadian citizen living in Canada. I am currently applying for remote jobs from USA companies. During the application online the question: "Will you now or in the future require sponsorship to work in the U.S.? " often comes up. Being that the job is 100% remote do I require sponsorship or a visa to work for these companies from Canada? From my understanding if I'm not physically working in the USA I should answer NO. Can anyone advise on this please. Thanks!

[@liquidfluid11]

@@Aidenstravels I believe that your correct that you don't considering the circumstances of other online workers but I can't be sure. Hopefully someone with more experience can answer this question. A lot of US companies use online workers and they definitely aren't required to have a visa. Unless your job requires you to enter the country at some point.
