Orest Zub is a true digital nomad; he's traveled to over 128 countries, and became a Digital Nomad in 2011 long before the term digital nomad was even mainstream. Since starting a simple remote job back in 2011, Orest paved his way through the travel and digital nomad evolution from a low budget backpacker to an established online entrepreneur with an audience of over 100k people.

At this moment, Orest has returned home to Ukraine with his wife and the males in his family to participate and support his country during the attacks from Russia, while most of the women in his family have fled the country.
