Christa Romano takes us on her journey of becoming a full-time digital nomad and financing her itinerant lifestyle for 7 years as a remote employee, a freelancer and eventually career coach. She takes us on some of her most epic adventures and misadventures around the world—from her euphoric moment of watching hot air balloons rise at sunrise in Cappadocia, Turkey to her most embarrassing moment of falling into the Ganges River in India during a Puja ceremony. She also talks about being a social media influencer and how she separates her real life from her Instagram life. She gives her tips on leveling-up your Instagram content, and then goes deep on how to do effective content marketing on TikTok. She explains how and why she is able to make over $100K/year on TikTok, and shares the best practices for replicating her success. She then offers her reflections on dating as a nomad, and also gives her safety tips for solo-female travelers. Finally, she talks about her new “Digital Nomad Starter Codes” course, offers the Maverick Show listeners a 20% discount, and also discusses the opportunity to work with her as a career coach for those interested in becoming digital nomads.
