Episode 1: Shiv from India, Expat & digitale Nomad
Join me in my new (and first, yes, everyone starts small) video series “Beyond Borders: Stories from Abroad,” where I interview expats, digital nomads, and entrepreneurs living far from their home countries. In this first episode, I chat with Shiv, who originally hails from Delhi, India, and lived as an expat in Bangkok, Thailand.
In this approximately 45-minute video, we discuss his reasons for leaving his home, cultural differences, the impact on his life, friendships, and much more!
