Welcome to my video! This week is another Wanderlass interview. I'm really enjoying chatting to so many inspirational and varied nomad ladies on my channel! Marjet is a Dutch friend I made in Koh Lanta and she tells her story on becoming a nomad without having "any skills". Of course she quickly discovered she has a lot of offer and is now making a full time income online doing work she loves! I hope this interview inspires you to look again at your talents and see what hidden skills you've got :) Thank you so much for watching, and of course don't forget to subscribe!

❤ FAQs:
↣ Are you a full time KZbinr?
I work full time online as a 'Digital Nomad' which means I get to travel the world with my fiance (Ed) and not be tied to living in any specific country. I do Freelance PR, teach courses on Udemy (check out my profile here - www.udemy.com/u/louisecroft/) and of course blogging and KZbin.
↣ What does Pauper To Princess mean?
My passion is all about living like a fabulous Princess on a little Pauper budget. I visit beautiful countries, and buy fabulous clothes but I'm always looking for a way to save money and be thrifty!
↣ When did you start blogging?
I created my blog in 2012 when I was living in America. I was thrifting so much that I wanted to start sharing my outfits online and inspiring other people to look in charity shops. Now it's become all about my Digital Nomad journey and what it's like to be a female nomad.
↣ Where's your accent from?
I'm from the South of England but I currently live out of a suitcase travelling all over the world.
↣ Where is your favourite place in the world?
I fell deeply in love with Gili Air when we visited as a paradise getaway, but Chiang Mai is my favourite place to live. Plus of course, there's no place like home (Dorset in England).

I'd also suggest peopleperhour. Quite often I see translation jobs on there. Also Louise, I have a client that has a translation agency. Louise, I'll pm you ref that. Interesting to hear others experiences in getting started. Hope you're having a great week.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Awesome! Thanks for the tips Sean :D Peopleperhour is a good shout. I'd like to interview someone who can compare all the different freelancer sites!

[@thatsrich944]

I see others mentioned the low contrast titles with the questions. I agree, as I am always on a mobile platform, many times watching from the beach or other outdoor location, it's impossible for me to see those graphics. Usually, I don't like to critique other's style, but maybe a slightly darker pink, a dark stroke on the text or even audio of the question being read, would make it easier to follow, for me. I got super lost trying to figure out from her answer, what the question was. But of course, do it however you want, haha! Cheers! 😉

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Hi Rich. Thanks so much - super super helpful feedback! I'm editing right now actually so changing it immediately :D Thanks for watching! Enjoy the beach ;)

[@Holetsgo]

Thanks for making this video, Louise! I hadn't thought about offering translations on Upwork, but that's a really good idea for us non-native speakers :)

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Fantastic!! Happy to help :) Definitely reinforces the fact that a skill which is "easy" for you means you don't always see the value to other people! Sometimes the answer is right in front of you... What do you do for work right now?

[@melissaonirique]

Yay! So happy every time you upload a new video! 😊

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Awww you're so kind!! Hope you're doing well :D

[@praveennambiarashmira]

Great interview. Thank you for sharing..

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Thanks! She had such an interesting journey!

[@AysunY]

Loving your background!!

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Thanks! Gotta love tropical Thailand

[@sethelledge8447]

amazing!

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@mehzabinpinky]

[@NonStopParis]

What a lekker interview!

[@NonStopParis]

No :(

[@digitalnomadgirl]

YAAAS!! I'm so cultural ;)

[@katrinapayne3185]

Hello! I have experience running social media accounts for a digital marketing company but I want to do it more freelance to create a better schedule for myself. Where do you recommend to find companies or brands that are looking for people to run there social media accounts? Much love 💛

[@digitalnomadgirl]

That sounds brilliant! A lot of people I know do that as work :) I wonder if you could pair up with someone else - e.g. a PR who works with small brands, or a website designer. If their clients are the same as yours it could be a great partnership! Where are you based?

[@katrinapayne3185]

Thats a great idea! Thank you, I didn't even think about that. I'm based in the US, I could probably look for some connections on linkedin.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Yes absolutely!! So so thrilled you found it a useful suggestion :D Let me know how it goes!

[@krisballard541]

Everybody seems to love Thailand. I still haven't been to that part of the world.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

I am totally head over heels with it!! Where have you been so far?

[@krisballard541]

Many years ago when I was 21 years old, I visited Costa Rica for three weeks.

[@LethargicdogDotCom]

Too bad the road on the background was so noisy, I barely can hear anything. Not easy to keep up when you are not native english speaker and the audio quality is weak. Otherwise I'd have watched it all, as it seed really interesting. Sorry.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Hey - totally agree!! Thought I'd try filming outside (and I edited out the worst traffic sounds) but it's way too noisy still. Haven't filmed outside again since! Thanks for stopping by anyway - and check out my other videos for much better sound quality :)

[@LethargicdogDotCom]

Yep, don't worry, I enjoyed other videos that you've made and I'll keep following your channel. :-)

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Awesome! Really glad to hear it :) Thanks for the support!

[@mayurmore422]

I am no English because you interview is nice

[@digitalnomadgirl]

[@lauram2456]

Thanks for the video, was really excited... but barely hear you and the background noise is very distracting. Was really hard to read the questions, too. I am not native but usually never have problem with understanding.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Hiya. Thanks for the feedback! Since this video I have changed my set up and my text design so it's a lot easier :) Hope you'll enjoy my more recent videos!!

[@musavillarin6102]

Hi Louise...I am a Spanish native speaker...but I speak perfect English...I am keen to do the Digital Nomad...but that thing that said that it is difficult to get jobs through Upwork since you are not an English native speaker let me a little bit disappointed...Could you do a video regarding this???? Pretty sure will be too many viewers :)

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Hi! Sure thing :) What would you be thinking of doing as work? Translating?

[@musavillarin6102]

I used to translate from English into Spanish and Italian when I was working in Cyprus for a betting site but I dont hold a degree in that and I am not pretty good in that....Look my LinkedIn profile www.linkedin.com/in/diego-de-la-morena-0b523113/ now I am currently working in another top firm in Ireland doing the same as my previous role...But the Irish weather is terrible and I like the LOCATION independence term

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Haha - yep I can imagine why you'd want to leave the rain! lol. Do you think they would let you work remotely?

[@musavillarin6102]

No...No way....Which job you think that would be good for me?

[@alirahman4638]

How are you I am Ali
