Digital Nomad Architect
What is a Digital Nomad and how do you get started as one, why remote work is the future of work and a whole host of other questions get answered by a Digital Nomad Architect from Israel, Shelly Agam.
Born and brought up in Israel, Shelly Agam is an Architect who completed her Bachelor of Architecture from Istanbul and then went on to work for Architecture firms for over a period of 8 years. Frustrated with the kind of work and work culture in Architecture firms, she quit and decided to pursue her passion which was Travel. It was during this transition phase that she came across the term ‘Digital Nomad’ and decided to pursue earning and living on the go full time. She has since traveled to over 21+ countries and is now presently at Turkey living the location independent lifestyle.
She takes us through her entire amazing journey and shares what it takes to become a Digital Nomad Architect aka DNA. This is definitely the future of work and we are already heading towards this direction. Tune in to this episode for more and one day, you too will live this lifestyle!
