S2 - E19 - Marta - Being alone is not the same as being lonely

This week I am happy to finally be sharing my face to face conversation with Marta. We met back in May when we both got invited to the pop up opening month of beautiful Burgas Coliving in Bulgaria. I opened up about my podcast project and Marta volunteered :-) I am so glad she did because her story is worth sharing! It is an inspiration for anyone looking to start their digital nomad journey on their own. Marta is an IT Project Manager and Full-time Digital Nomad for 3 years now. She started working remotely and traveling before the pandemic - or how she likes to say: "before it was sexy";) . She loves traveling and she has always dreamt of being able to do it every day. In 2019 her dream became possible once she started freelancing and working remotely for the US company. At the same time she was intensively taking part in Erasmus+ projects which enables you to travel for free around Europe. After couple of months she decided to take a deep leap and see if she could equally well manage her work and travels from more remote destinations - and so she went to SE Asia where she spent 7 months traveling and, of course, still working remotely : ) Last year she discovered the world of colivings and immediately fell in love with the concept. For her colivings are all about the people - the great community of digital nomads, who share similar values, are open-minded, curious about the world, and who inspire her to develop both both professionally and personally. At the moment she is living a life that she has always dreamt of, and  she is proud to say that she created this life by herself and is the happiest that she has ever been. : ) Follow Mara's journey: https://www.instagram.com/karkosikmarta/ Erasmus + programme: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/projects Burgas Coliving: https://burgascoliving.com/
