In this episode, we meet Lazar Dimitrijevic from Serbia – one of the Nomad Summit Scholarship winners whose journey to Chiang Mai became the spark for his digital-nomad dreams.
Lazar shares how a simple Instagram post and a five-minute application video completely changed his trajectory. From being an aspiring nomad with a creative passion to spending a week surrounded by mentors, founders, and remote workers in Thailand, the scholarship gave him the confidence to build a location-independent career.
Christoph joins from Kyiv during his humanitarian mission to Ukraine, while Palle tunes in on his birthday to hear how Lazar's experience at Nomad Summit Chiang Mai opened new doors – from mentorship with Nomad Magazine to real client collaborations and a growing international network.
If you've ever thought about applying for the Nomad Summit Scholarship but weren't sure it could really make a difference, this conversation will show you what's possible when you take that leap.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
