Sounds awesome! I have more than 12,000 hours at Upwork as a unreal engine developer. I started my career in 2009 when it was named Odesk and Elance and later they emerged into Upwork. I am going to start my digital nomad life from Azerbaijan. Thanks for the video!

I'm working remotely around last 20 years. Nice to hear that this way of living become more and more popular!

[@stam.markoglou]

Here are some questions I'd love to have answers to: 1. how do you deal with the income gap between yourself and the rest of Bali? 2. What's your biggest concern(s) for the 'things' you left behind in your home country? 3. In which ways do you think you could bring real value to locals? 4. Would you be up to showing exactly what you do during your work day? 5. What thing you should definitely learn from locals? What have you learnt so far and how do you deal with that? 6. How do you balance work/life as a remote worker? 7. How much % of money do you save per month?

[@macbook4474]

8. How much money did you have when you got to Bali? (Saved or unsaved)

[@mouquette05]

Hi, I watched all three videos on Digital Nomads and I thought it was very interesting! Well done for picking that subject! Am also a Nomad but a bit older so I didn't really get to enjoy the Digital Nomads lifestyle only the physical Nomad lifestyle! I usually travel where I want to than found a physical job!

[@TravelPhuket]

I have really enjoyed this 3 part series and think it would make an excellent You Tube channel! I also think you are an excellent interviewer! Thank you!

[@travelwithrafa]

Thank you so much!!! 🥰 I really appreciate that, stay tuned for more content soon :)

[@nafismudhofar]

Wow, your KZbin channel just popped up on my home page and after watching few of your videos, I just amazed by your content. It such a hidden gem for me. As indonesian who live in Jakarta, when I travel to Bali, I always wonder how foreigners living their life here in Indonesia. Do they rich in their home country so they can spent their money for years to live in Bali? And after watching your videos, my curiosity finally answered! I already hit subscribe button and looking forward for your next inspiring videos! Please upload more good contents like this 🥰

[@ThinLineMedia]

Maybe 1 out of 100 gets their money from parents, but most people gotta work :)

[@himanshudas52]

Great videos. Really liked the content. It would inspire all those wannabe digital nomads. Thanks a lot

[@Oleg_Ya]

You shouldn't say on camera that you work in Bali (not online). Because Balinese people hunt (searching) such people this year and often hand them over to the authorities, because it is impossible for a tourist to work officially according to their laws..

[@jayapranahurip1271]

Digital nomad for foreigners without working visas are allowed as long they are not engaged with the local companies ..

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

This sounds like sheer paranoia. What makes you think they are breaking any laws?

[@Oleg_Ya]

@@RenegadeShepTheSpacer This is not paranoia, a few years ago, no one really cared about this breaking law (is it forbidden work offline for example, a photographer, etc.). There were only rare cases of deportation when a foreigner clearly took a job instead of local people, for example, if he worked as a surf coach, or in any other profession and offended a local who works the same nearby. But during the pandemic, almost all the locals lost their jobs, and they became very jealous of those who work offline on the island, even after the borders were opened, and there was a lot of work again. This is not paranoia, the locals really have chat rooms where they search for and share those foreigners who work offline, because they believe that they are taking jobs away from the locals. They can't understand that the locals can't give the same quality.. And they inform the police about such people, there were very, very many cases, especially the half year ago there was a real hunt, a lot of foreigners working offline were forced to leave the island because of this.

[@ChibimokuInternational]

This is true. We know of this directly. Client photography on location requires a visa, and there is a task force seeking out photographers breaking this.

[@1977-i1h]

@@RenegadeShepTheSpacer They are competing with the online jobs that are supposed to be meant for the people living in developing countries. They use local infrastructure yet, they're always boasting they can work without paying local taxes. They should be arrested and deported as usually they only have tourist visas despite living in those places to work.

[@NomadicRuss]

Finally someone went into detail about what they do as a digital nomad 😀 great video!

[@travelwithrafa]

Thank you!! Glad you liked it :)

[@Shuniverse]

Interesting lifestyle. I'm interested in being a nomad, but still at the beginning on my journey. One question I have is: How does a digital nomad invest into the future? Like, do you think about spending a partly income money into a depot for retirement? How does a digital nomad think about his or her future for maintaining basic essencial needs like housing, food, etc. when hitting 60 or so? Love to read an answer to that, or resources on that topic!

[@ferose1008]

Ótimo conteúdo Rafa. Poderia fazer depois os trabalhos mais comuns e remunerações para iniciantes, pelo que percebeu ai.

[@virgilludwig]

GREAT VIDEO!! Staying afloat financially is not as taxing as most people make it out to be.Personally,i think it is vital to have a standard and reliable financial plan. Personally, I work with a fixed income planner and portfolio manager.

[@celexamarco5061]

This is very true! A lot of people downplay the role of a financial planner until burnt by their mistakes. After my last job layoff, I had to stay afloat, hence researched for licensed fiduciary advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge and experience. My reserve fund of $225k has yielded nearly $1.3 million after subsequent investments so far.

[@celexamarco5061]

I’ve shuffled through a few financial experts in the past but settled with Mr. CHRIS RYAN STEWART.

[@celexamarco5061]

His strategy is recession proof, more specifically profit-oriented and most likely you’ll find his basic information on the net. He’s a very well known advisor.

[@MrsMarchisio]

I’ve heard quite a great deal about this portfolio manager. Chris Ryan Stewart is making quite the wave in the current financial space.

[@nicholaslinetti]

I’m very well inclined. I have turned over more than $250k investing with him on a wide array of options and finally sticking to a few that have been favorable in the past 2 years.

[@jusantisteban]

Thank you so much for providing this inspiring content! It's truly motivating and has given me the confidence to pursue my own dreams. I have two questions: What type of visa did you obtain in Bali to be able to work there as a photographer? And do you know any community of photographers in there?

[@MicaelaBicudo]

Hiii !! thank you for the content. I love it. I realy want to be a digital nomad , i have started it but I am payed per hour and i depend on clients time zones.

Having monitored my portfolio performance, Expert cardone has made me a jaw dropping $370k from just the past two quarters alone. I have learned why these experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market

[@WendyNova-vy3fn]

I met Mr Cardone last year for the first time at a conference in California, I invested $15,000 and traded in one month, making up to $173,000.

[@Transfernotification55]

It's amazing how people are trading without fear of making losses, while so many people out there are patiently waiting for Bitcoin price to skyrocket...😂

oh god he's marvelous story is in everywhere, i still remember the first week I got in touch with cardone , His strategies was so easy to adopt but I made $89,000 worth of bitcoin directly to my bitcoin wallet, thanks so for your great performance

[@joolsd1]

What platforms do you recommend for a portfolio? A free option would be preferable. 😅

[@l.b.1952]

How about taxes? Do they pay any? Like, as a tourist photographer you get a lot of cash payments, so I assume they do not pay taxes on it...

[@Setiadi078]

Well, Excellent videos. As an Indonesian who can't work remotely and going to Bali, I'm still curious how to make money as a Novelist like your boyfriend because I want to start as a Writer.

[@winningvid3326]

The is no place for writers anymore. AI will take your place easliy

[@learn.ai99]

How did chatgpt impact his field of writing, id love a video on that, how to use ai to become a better freelance writter. Great video

[@manse8039]

yes AI will make disappear a lot of digital jobs, proofreading, writing, analysis, metadata, and many others that is done in a flash by any program like chat GPT now. I think you need to have an unique expertise in an specific niche and get the help of the different natural language models to be more effective in the collection and distribution of information., because all non specific work can be easily done by the great natural language models that are getting better by the day.

[@travelwithrafa]

His writing field is very specific (medieval, novels, sci-fi) and so far Chat GPT is not affecting as it is this kind of very specific writing (yet, we don't know in the future)

[@travelwithrafa]

@JesseTate

[@JesseTate]

Hey (I'm Jesse) this is a good question! I've considered making a video on this on my own channel, but I'm not yet sure if it matches my typical content closely enough. I still need to decide! Anyway it's a great question. It has definitely impacted the field, but hasn't yet had a very big impact on my life. I guess I'm very lucky to have a few stable long-term clients already. I don't apply for many jobs nowadays, and those I do apply to are usually quite specific to philosophy, outlining novels, or line-editing. Programs like Grammarly do a great job at catching simple punctuation erros, repeated words, syntax patterns, and so on. But they DON'T really have that "organic" or "fluid" feel an author is going for in a novel. If you listen to audiobooks and how they are narrated, you'll notice the grammar/punctuation is more of a guide to help the narrator into a flow. The focus isn't so much on technicality, more on painting a picture the listener's mind can easily follow. I guess I'm kind of lucky to work in that specific area! I think ChatGPT has affected copywriters (articles, essays, blogs, marketing) much more than me. Any essays I do are usually on quite abstract philosophy topics and ChatGPT isn't so good at those yet. It's good (very good) at summarizing, but not presenting new ideas. Anyway I am rambling too much. Idk if that's helpful to you but it might give an idea as to my experience! As far as using AI, to be honest I'm a bit behind on that. It's funny because I love AI and tech and futurism; but I haven't really integrated ChatGPT into my actual writing process. Maybe I'm old-fashioned or arrogant or too rigid to move with the times. I use it a lot for research, just to guide me to academic papers or literary works or whatever. I've found it makes errors if you prompt it too directly. Example: Why did Hegel write Sickness Unto Death? It then gives an explanation, when really Hegel didn't write Sickness Undo Death.It seems to think you are looking for a certain answer and it will give you that answer even if it's false. It doesn't do this always but does it often enough to be concerning. It reveals the true core of large language models: they train on PREexisting patterns, not true external data. This means they reinforce the content humans have already been putting out. They can probably come up with original ideas by extrapolating and choosing lower-percentage connections; but they will generally confirm the mainstream idea. So I use it a lot for research, planning, as well as some basic coding, asking it about how to use more techy software and programs that I am unfamiliar with, and so on. I hope that answer wasn't too long! Thanks for the question. There are probably lots of videos on youtube about how to use AI as a freelancer. They could probably say more than me. I may do one on Machine intelligence in general though, so stay tuned.

[@learn.ai99]

@@JesseTate that was very helpful, thanks for answering. Im asking professionals these questions because i want to see if theres already a siginicifant impact on how people do their work. I cant even imagine how things will look like in 3-5 years...one thing is for sure tho, increasingly higher pace of change, which means humans will need to find ways to adapt quickly to these changes than in the past. I kinda feel like a new internet or google was invented, but now its on steroids 😄 my wish is for ai to end boring robotic routine work, and let humans do more creative work.

[@denny180]

Why so many people come to Bali for digital nomad?is it the country policy?or have some perks? I’m just curious 😂

[@travelwithrafa]

There are a few reasons: 1. the visa options are quite easy for most of nationalities -- you can stay long term, having to do visa runs sometimes but it is still better than other countries. 2. the cost of living is low and many people who are starting a business or becoming a digital nomad need a cheap life so they can have an easier start. 3. It became famous for its culture and beauty so that attracts people from anywhere -- these are the main ones

Re Upwork - I tried it for a short time for psychotherapy, life coaching astrology and translation services, only got one good collaboration for a few sessions and a few ridiculously cheap offers for astrology apps which I declined. None for translation (Russian English), however I did not promote anyhow my account, I find interface there confusing. Maybe I gave up too early.
