Episode #238: Work-Travel Programs for Remote Professionals, Co-Living Around the World, and Finding Digital Nomad Communities with Nora Dunn

Episode Summary

Nora Dunn meets up with Matt at Gary Vaynerchuk’s “Veecon” conference to open a bottle of wine and record Nora’s second Maverick Show interview. They start off talking about building community through NFT holdings, and then move on to recount their month long train trip together through the U.S.. Nora recounts their time together in Chicago before embarking on the train journey, and reflects on how transformative it was for her to meet Matt’s digital nomad friends along that journey. She explains why and how she fundamentally changed her travel lifestyle after that trip. Nora then talks about her experience with co-living and co-working spaces around the world, including the Nomad Village on Madeira Island in Portugal. She then talks about her upcoming month in Estonia with Hacker Paradise and her upcoming 4-month all-Africa trip with Remote Year. Nora then talks about her evolution as a travel content creator, minimalist packing, and her upcoming trip where she will wear 100% Merino wool. She also explains how she uses salsa dancing to immerse locally around the world. Matt and Nora conclude by talking about their wine tasting experience in Oregon, eating beignets in New Orleans, and taking a 2am scooter ride through downtown LA.
