The Final Frontier – An Interview with Digital Nomad Kyle Del Bonis

*Interview Highlights*

Kyle’s cheap travel tip: Join a training program that requires it.

Why travel? Make international friends.

Kyle’s path to the location independent lifestyle:

   1) Get a portable home – like his van Cassie

   2) Negotiate a remote working agreement with your company after you have proved yourself to be a valuable player.

   3) Pimp out your vehicle with solar panels, and use a wheel chair battery to store the power or YOU COULD DIE.

   4) Document your life with a blog and connect with people on a real level using social media sites like Couchsurfing.com, FourSquare.com, and Twitter.com.

   5)  Meet the altruistic people on Couchsurfing.com and travel more.

   6) Change your life and do what you want while things are not exactly ideal.

Justin Wright – How to Become a Digital Nomad


(While waiting on Youtube…I posted to Vimeo)


(Should have known to use Vimeo after four YouTube fails.)

I just noticed that I have been adding little to no commentary on some of these video so if you don’t have twenty minutes to learn how Justin Wright made the transition from wage slave to digital nomad and entrepreneur, here are the highlights and summary of the main points.

Highlights:

  • Justin’s Story     [0:12]
  • What do you use your Vibram Five Finger Shoes for?     [3:10]
  • Why minimalism?     [4:29]

  • Advice for the aspiring digital nomad     [11:38]
  • Future Plans: Bloghelp.org & Justin’s book Coming Soon! [15:23]

Justin’s Advice:

  • Decide what you really want to do with your life.
  • List the obstacles.
  • Stay at your job while you conquer the obstacles one at a time.
  • Wait until you have replaced your working income through other means.

    •  

I should note that Justin and another entrepreneur I recently interviewed both had skills for the new economy. Justin is the expert on WordPress and is dangerously knowledgeable about SEO. Colin (interview to come), is an expert at personal branding and web design and graphic design. I study internet marketing and copywriting and I know a little bit about SEO, but I when I reach expert status in these areas I will be able to live where I want and do what I want.

What do you love or what have you decided to be the expert on?

Justin Wright is the founder of ZoopMedia, a company devoted to all things WordPress. He runs a digital nomad blog called Life of Justin and offers a variety of paid WordPress services.  He also has free WordPress tutorials available to help those just starting out. His mission is to live a life of minimalism, adventure, and to help others do the same.
