That passion eventually shaped her career path, leading her into recruiting—where commission-based work taught her an important lesson: she didn’t need an office to succeed.She walks through the transition from agency life to running her own fully location-independent business, and how the pandemic helped normalize a lifestyle she had already been living for years. Christine also gets practical about the realities of nomad work—navigating time zones, choosing when and where to work, and why she prefers being based in Europe to align her mornings with productivity before North American clients come online.The conversation dives into the complex (and often misunderstood) topic of taxes and residency. With multiple citizenships and years on the road, Christine shares how she’s restructuring her tax setup and exploring options like Panama and Paraguay—offering valuable perspective for long-term nomads thinking beyond short stays.Christine is also candid about the broader impact of digital nomads on popular destinations. She talks about rising costs, the importance of supporting local businesses, and why seeking out less-crowded locations can lead to more authentic experiences—for travelers and communities alike.Her message to listeners is simple but powerful: don’t let fear or limiting beliefs keep you stuck. You don’t have to commit forever—just try it for a month and see what’s possible.💬 Subscribe on Substack or YouTube for more honest conversations with experienced nomads over 50 who are redefining work, freedom, and what a “normal” life can look like.
