  • After quitting her corporate job to travel and work for herself, then going through a bad breakup, Dinah wasn't sure what to do next in life. She was afraid to travel alone at first and didn't get much support or encouragement from friends and family. But she "took the leap" to solo travel to Paris and the rest is history! We met up in Tulum to chat about how her journey unfolded and tips for people starting out in a travel or digital nomad lifestyle.

Just bought your book, Kristin. I bought the audiobook. Thank you for your videos. I always enjoy them ❤

    I once stayed in an AirBnb house assuming the host was onsite. Turned out there was no onsite host. It was bedrooms with their own locks and pin pads and strangers. Someone was leaving the rear sliding glass door unlocked at night. I messaged the host about it and got out of that arrangement. The safety issues in short-term rentals are real.

      depends on where you are. Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia and so on are much safer than Latin America or the US. Also on the individual circumstances. The net is full with unexperienced ppl (some are used to a higher crime rate and project that onto other regions of the world (like the friend of the right girl in the video who warned about getting kidnapped in Europe. thats an huge lack of knowledge - that happens in many parts of Latin America, Africa but in Europe that is so rare that there should be other concerns came at first in mind. And your Airbnb situation also just depends on where you are. In many places in Europe it just doesnt matter if the door is open. and if you dont know that then you have a lack of knowledge due to a wrong projection. also one reason why I consider everyone as an idiot who talks generic about the world saying 'ok, this city has this or that crime rate and one should be careful - just like in all cities in the world'. just wrong stupid bla bla from idiots. the differences are huge. its always a lack of knowledge if people use such stereotypes - and a lack of reflection, because a basic educated one COULD know that there are differences ..

    Great interview! I am a digital nomad myself and I usually stay in the same place 20 days to one month. I agree with her about needing time to adjust to a new environnement. When I am changing place, I am looking for good wifi, kitchen (I prefer cooking), and a laundry room. You can feel home anywhere as long as you have what you need. The place has to suit your needs. Great tips for safety! Thanks ladies 😇.
