On today's episode of The Expat Money Show, our next guest has been a full-time digital nomad and expat for the past 15 years, travelling throughout more than 60 countries and has helped thousands of people move, retire, or work abroad.

She always struggled with the simple question: ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and decided that one day she would invent her own job and that she did. Today, her goal is to help others become location independent and stay that way, for as long as their heart desires.
