We got the chance to sit down with Pauline Paquin for this episode. 

Pauline is a digital nomad - originally from France and now living most of the year in Guatemala. She hustled straight out of the gate in her teenaged years that translated into massive success as an adult. Massive success being a fairly robust nest egg and a healthy passive income stream, of course. She now travels when she wants and get to do only things she wants to do. 

You will love her story!

We also chat about...

-Dog sitting in Guatemala 

-Building a rental property in Colorado
