About Abroad

Linda McCall is the founder of Nomad Stays, a booking platform specifically for digital nomads who want to slow travel and find affordable accommodations off the beaten path. As a full time digital nomad herself - who also happens to be a pilot and has ridden solo across three continents by motorcycle while traveling to 70+ other countries - she knows a thing or two about what slo-mads are looking for. A native Australian, she’s currently calling the French Alps her home, and has previously lived in the Aboriginal Outback, Hong Kong, the US and Saudi Arabia, amongst many other places. She shares it all with us in today’s episode.

Erkan Munishi steps out from behind the scenes today and shares a bit of his story with us, which takes us from war torn Kosovo to building digital nomad visas alongside multiple governments around the world. Erkan became a world traveler at a young age as a refugee, and this experience propelled him into the digital nomad world, which eventually led him to working with politicians to create visas to attract remote knowledge workers to their countries. We focused on the details of these visas in Dubai, Greece and Albania today, as well as his work as the founder of the Digital Nomad Association, and the upcoming Digital Nomad Expo.

She and her team helped the local government create a program that allows digital nomads to come, work, live and stay in one of the world’s most popular destinations, for up to two years! Alongside this, she’s also developed E-Pioneers, a service dedicated to making it super cost-effective and easy to obtain this visa, and all the other elements of life you’ll need in order to make the move to Colombia.
