About this listen
This audiobook is divided into three sections:
- Section One - The Digital Nomad
We explore how, and why, being a digital nomad is a different type of lifestyle than being a tourist. In addition, we examine different ways to satisfy your dreams of travel, regardless of your age.
There are many challenges to living a nomadic lifestyle, even for only short periods of time. We talk about dealing with different cultures, languages, customs, and also practical considerations like electrical standards, SIM cards, and metric versus Imperial measurements.
We cover drugs (prescription and recreational), local transportation, sexual orientation, and numerous other subjects you need to think about before beginning your adventures in foreign lands.
Although many of the subjects covered are also applicable to expats looking to move permanently to another country, we don’t cover things like obtaining a second passports or tax considerations.
- Section Two - Pet/House Sitting
This is a practical look at how a digital nomad can include pet and house sitting in your lifestyle to help the high cost of accommodations. If you love pets, this is certainly something to consider. We show you where to find “sits”, how to apply for them, and what is expected of you when you are accepted for the assignment. All aspects of this fast-growing lifestyle are detailed, so you can decide whether or not it’s a good fit for you.
- Section Three - The Digital Part
This section is an introduction to online marketing. The goal here is to demystify the idea of making money online in order to earn enough income while enjoying your nomadic lifestyle. Our emphasis is on making enough money to enjoy the lifestyle, not on making millions as an Internet entrepreneur.
Throughout the audiobook, we provide many resources that provide even more information.

If you’re a forward-focused thinker, you may be dreaming about leaving the workforce to enjoy an easier life in retirement or you might even be considering retiring early. But a dream without a plan is just a wish. Passive income is money you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain. Some passive income ideas - like renting out property or building a blog - may take some work to get up and running, but they could eventually earn you money while you sleep.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Story
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
Thoreau gives an account of three canoe and hiking journeys - by himself and with others - through the mostly uninhabited forests of Maine in the 1850s. Identifying birds, trees and plants by their botanical as well as their common names, he also records the Indian names of lakes, rivers and plants. He investigates the connections between waterways and trails, and provides detail on camping, fishing and hunting in the woods, using whatever is at hand. Extolling the beauty of the wilds that he encounters, Thorough’s narrative is also imbued with elements of his philosophy.

Story
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.
