Evo Terra and Sheila Dee describe themselves as opportunistic travelers. They are a couple of successful pros in their mid-40s who sold everything they had in January and are currently traveling the world -- wherever opportunity takes them. Because they've been on the bleeding edge of digital innovation since their early 20s, they're documenting their new lives as they live it, letting armchair travelers the world over live vicariously through them. This experiential style of travel and being digital nomads blends nicely with their catch-as-catch-can style of destination "planning" to create a unique experience for their listeners, readers, watchers and followers on various social properties. Join them on their journey here and make sure to check out their podcast here.I talk to them about how they are sustaining this type of digital nomad lifestyle and traveling all over the world.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Here's a crazy story for you! Last week at the Mid-Atlantic Conference I met a guy called Ivan Raiklin who had followed me on Twitter and Facebook a couple of days prior to us attending  the conference. We shook hands and he proceeded to ask me what my podcast was about since we were at a podcasting conference. Naturally, I responded with "it's about nomads, people with global mindsets entrepreneurs and international business people and how they communicate across cultures professionally and professionally." But before I could continue, he goes "when are you gonna interview me?" And I had the "I just met you look" on my face. Still unsure, I asked him what he did and he said, "don't worry about it and then said we can do the interview right now."  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
