Nomad Life
Outsite Member and digital nomad Sung Kim shares about his experience working in business and navigating remote work.
After a long time of working to maintain a very comfortable life, I realized that I wasn't fulfilled and wanted more. I decided to part with my material possessions, make some big changes, and travel the world looking to build meaningful connections and make lasting memories. This eventually guided me towards the digital nomad community and helped me get to where I am today.
I've just joined a startup in Dallas called NicksonLiving.com as Chief Product Officer to help them automate their process and raise Series B. Once I get the new roadmap approved in January, I'll be back on the road and working remotely.
One day I would like to leave the tech world and learn physical skills like fixing houses and pick up a couple of new languages as I continue to travel around the world.
I loved the setup in Lisbon so much – work friendly cafe right on the first floor, great food and drinks at cheap prices all around, fun people to hang out with, all the exciting activities and beautiful sceneries that are close by.
- When you go somewhere, try to stay for at least 2 weeks to really feel what it's like to live there.
- Freedom comes with price. You better be willing to work around the clock as needed.
I'm hoping I can actually pull off the responsibilities I have been given at this new job. At this point, I'm not sure if I'm excited or terrified, but we'll see!
