Going to become a digital nomad this coming fall/winter. My specialty will be drone footage. Can you recommend places with less regulations where police won’t bother me when flying?

[@M88ULV]

Would recommend being a digital nomad to anybody who enjoys travel. It's a great lifestyle.

[@ibizawavey8630]

I agree, i'm just so scared dude. Being black and being told about macedonia/albania etc. those people don't play lol

Thank you Alina for being your own kind of beautiful and blessing your viewers with positive, uplifting, relevant & meaningful content. Happy Women's Day. PS : Loved your sassy business attire & persona. Consider one day being a News media anchor for CBS news.

I loved your vídeo. Happy Internation women's day

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Hi Alina! Thanks for your concise and well-informed primer on working as a digital nomad. Many more of us are working remotely in post-COVID times, but not necessarily nomadically. One key challenge is finding one’s niche, that is finding the right opportunities and what works best for you. Happy International Women’s Day, Alina!!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Yes absolutely. Thank you very much!

[@NoahBolinder]

Thanks for answering my question Alina! 🙌. Great video.

Aw thanks!

[@samtee1752]

Being a digital nomad is hard, I'm trying this KZbin thing however making decent videos is very hard, reason being is a lot of motivation, skill, confidence and etc is needed. If you have decent savings/investments and can survive financially, you can try the nomad lifestyle and see whether you like it, it definitely beats working for an employer, that's for sure and I'm glad I'm not working anymore. Plus living in some countries is very cheap, especially in Eastern Europe if you like the culture and know the language. Whether long term you can sustain it, that's another story. Alina, you have definitely succeeded by putting in the hard work and being very positive from the beginning, good work and congrats. Towards 100k and beyond! :)

[@seniortourists7637]

Trading & investing in the stock market also can be added to the list of jobs that can be done by Digital Nomads.

[@andreearrusu]

This video it's so cool! Thank you for sharing these experiences here. Because of these videos like this, I got inspired and just started my digital nomad experience too! thank you

[@AlinaMcleod]

You are most welcome! Hope you enjoy the experience!

[@SyifaAdriana]

Great video, Alina. I was considering Safety Wing until you mentioned Hey Mondo. Sadly for an Indonesian passport holder, all of these such as Georgia Digital Nomad Visa or even regular visa to Bulgaria, North Macedonia, generally the Balkans (many others) require me to apply visa to the embassy which is a very frustrating fact to work digitally and having a limitation to my freedom of movement in the first place. Btw Estonia and Croatia have also introduced digital nomad visa, which I am sure you are already aware of. Safe trip! xx

[@AlinaMcleod]

Yes, it can definitely be more challenging depending on your citizenship :( let's hope they make the process easier and streamlined in the future for everyone.

[@gaurvp]

Things are changing rapidly. How will it look like in coming years, it will be strange. Video is excellent 👌👌 You are doing amazing Alina.

[@efimovv]

I'm suddenly went by company to first way. It just closed offices for almost all people right at March last year and we WFH since then. I moved to my hometown, but some people go to warmer places also. As I can see from inside of "IT" industry we will have kind of "new rules" this year, and for most of employees performance at least not less than from office but usually better than from office. Drawbacks which clearly seen - people tend to work more and a lot of people miss offline communication.

[@rahulrasam]

This is seriously a well-researched and informative video. Thank you for sharing your valuable tips and answering my question. I'm working towards becoming a business analyst with a remote work position before transitioning towards freelance, so this definitely helps. Congrats on 95k subs- only 5k more to go till 100k! Keep up the good work 👍

[@AlinaMcleod]

That's amazing, Rahul! I know you will reach your dreams :)

[@s.m6141]

[@frankmerriwell8339]

Thanks for the information! I love traveling and this kind of lifestyle seems really attractive. Btw I recommend you considering a trip to China, the price of living here is relatively low compared to those western countries. And the restrictions will loose as more and more people getting vaccinated.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Yes, I definitely want to check out China sometime!

[@grady4757]

Great video. My partner and me are so eager to get back out there after the last year+. We lived in Tbilisi for nearly 2 years and excited to travel further east this year to visit family. ✈️

[@AlinaMcleod]

haha thank you very much!

[@hollandgreen7555]

This is a really awesome video. Thank you.. I have an unrelated question. Why do you think people drink so much in Ukraine and Russia and what about the economic woes. I thought it might be weather but Canada is cold as is Sweden both have great economies and aren’t really known for drinking.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Hard to blanket statement, but of course many people drink to forget about their problems for a while and not deal with things they're scared to feel or do. That and it does become an actual physical addiction after a while since it's so commonplace to drink a lot, especially for men.

[@ivankruglov8664]

Sweden not known for drinking? Yeah, right...

[@hollandgreen7555]

@@ivankruglov8664 I go to a Russian Orthodox Church that has Ukrainians and Romanians there. Most people drink. Swedes probably drink too.

[@albusha5150]

You made one mistake in my country Alina. As a KZbin star you are, you should've inquired in one of TV stations for an interview. I think they owed you one for what you did for my country giving an overall positive picture for your audience. Hopefully, you will go there one more time (spring or summertime) and do it.

[@sherahpittman508]

Great video Alina, in addition to your list of digital nomad ideas. I found my niche in day trading stocks primarily penny stocks. You could do this anywhere in the world, just need a laptop and internet access lol. Of course you may need a good sense of investing skill, but it could be learned. So far so good 😊.

Work and life balance is important in nomad life. Sometimes we need to turn off our phones or cameras and enjoy the real life. :)

[@AlinaMcleod]

That it is.

[@brandonbh04]

Nice Video! Can you do a more specific video about different types of methods of income that other digital nomads that you have met are doing?

Love from North Macedonia to you. Keep-up the good job! 🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰

[@huboftruthbymichael1921]

Excellent facts you explained. Yes, the way a lot of us make a living is rapidly changing, and I think that is what makes the attraction even more desirable. Being involved in Internet marketing and investigations really is an exciting activity, and one thing it has really taken hold is my desire to visit other countries, hence being a strong supporter of your channel and the vast knowledge and caring heart you have, just makes it part of my days, there is the freedom that internet businesses give us the freedom to be anywhere, all we need is internet access. 20 yrs ago, it would have taken much longer to accomplish that, but as you know, when you get involved with using the internet as the heart of your activity, the sky is the limit. Happy Women's Day, Alina!!! As always, you have made a success in what you do, the best there is!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you, Michael! Yes, it honestly is just phenomenal what options are available to us now with being able to work online.

[@davidjohnston710]

Alina, I’m so blown away by your professionalism in this career choice. You certainly give validity to the career choice as more than just a hobby or vacation trip, as some might think. When you are willing to give it complete thought and time, and invest in the tools and personal development, sufficient to make it income-producing, that is some serious stuff. Have to say that your intellect is shining through. You probably just think “I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do to survive”, but you are obviously superior as an individual. I’m just amazed at how you orchestrate things and create great content! Worship!! (Yes, even though you think you’re normal.)

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you. Yes, before it was just about surviving but now I feel I’m actually quite stable and know what I need to do to keep growing my business.
