What happens when you quit your stable job, leave everything behind, and chase a life of travel—only for a global pandemic to change everything?
In this episode, I sit down with Dain Luka, who went from working as a social worker in England to building a completely new life as a digital nomad in Australia and around the world. We talk about his journey to sobriety, how he took the leap to quit his 9-5 job, the challenges of having his travel plans disrupted by Covid, and what led him to start a YouTube channel.
Dain shares the highs and lows of freelancing, his favourite adventures in Australia, and what home means to him now as he works towards residency. Plus, he gives some great advice for anyone thinking of breaking free from the traditional path and creating a life on their own terms.
Listen in for an inspiring story of resilience, reinvention, and the freedom of the digital nomad lifestyle.
