  4. How do you cope with no WIFI? • When you work while you travel, you are your own boss so it’s good practice to have your own source of WIFI at the ready. Whether you travel abroad to a less developed area or find a café in a modern city centre, you’ll often experience a slow and choppy connection that impedes your ability to work. • You can get lucky with travel WIFI which is perfect when you find the ideal work environment and WIFI together. But it’s an even better feeling to know that you have 4G at your fingertips when you need it. • Hotspot is the best thing to happen to the nomad job industry. As long as you have a good provider such as T-Mobile, you can get 20-80GB hotspot for just a few bucks more - and you can also provide free hotspot to anyone else in need. What’s best is that T-Mobile offers this service when you travel abroad to Canada and Mexico.

  5. How do you balance work and downtime? • All work and no play is no good for anyone. Taking time to relax and re-charge the mental batteries is as important to ensure that your work is quality and to the best of your ability. In fact, I would argue that knowing how to balance your time is one of the defining traits of success. You’re wasting time if you work when you’re exhausted, as that same time can return 10x the results when you work properly rested, or clear-minded. It’s a valuable skill learnt over time. • Traveling means you’re constantly exposed to new and interesting spaces. Running, hiking or even walking around can be quite refreshing. A 30 minute break is more than enough to give your mental state a complete recharge.I start to exhaust at about midday so my go-to activity is a 45 minute run to switch off and be hungry for more work.

  6. How do you deal with the challenge of working across different time zones? Know who you are talking to and where they are based. Your clients are the most important variable here, and they need to be prioritized. When traveling, your work hours can be out of sync with your clients. It’s vital your operational hours are adjusted to maintain a smooth and efficient flow of communication between you and your clients. Adjust your schedule to fit theirs but setting multiple time zones into the clock function on your phone. Be proactive instead of reactive because you don’t want to get this wrong and anxious clients will certainly hurt the quality of your travels.
