About Abroad

Chris Cherra joins the show today from Malaysia to discuss the rapidly changing digital nomad world. Chris has been a perpetual traveler himself since 2017, and after years of over-paying for expensive Airbnbs, he decided to build a service that would help people unlock great deals around the world, at affordable rates. As someone serving the needs of slomads and running a location independent business, Chris also shares some of his learnings along the way, as well as the ups and downs of a nomadic lifestyle, and where we see opportunity for further development.
