157: Working Remote From Spain – Chase Warrington

Today’s guest is Chase Warrington, an American expat currently living in Spain with his wife, Allison, and their dog, Koda. (I am told that Koda has a passport, too.) He’s the Head of Remote at Doist, a leading remote-first company, and a contributor to some of the top remote-work outlets, such as Remote-how, repeople, Future of Work, and others.  After calling half a dozen countries “home,” Chase is passionate about making location independence the new norm and helping others experience a life beyond borders.    

HERE’S WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN THIS INTERVIEW:

• Advice to the would-be digital nomad. What 2022 will look like? 
• Do you wonder who is suited for being a digital nomad? 
• Absolute best 3 tips for remote workers to get hired immediately!
• Swap stories of world travelling, what made them pack up everything and move to a new country, what drove them to see new lands, meet new people.
• Are your parents and friends still bugging you to settle down, have kids, white picket fence? Listen in to hear how Chase deals with it.
• Or about ‘being lucky’!! When people say, you’re lucky to get to travel and see new places and eat new food and make new friends...I wish I could do that! Does that make you mad?
• Chase talks about the sacrifices he made early on... loss of perks, low pay just to be location independent, and how now, those same things aren’t perks, people are demanding them. 
• Imagine this; surrounded by 3 oceans, the Pyrenees mountains, sunshine, amazing food and about 25% English speakers...heaven! Chase tells us where this is and how you can live there too!

CONCLUSION:

Fun conversation with Chase. I love swapping stories with fellow world travellers. Life is different today than when I started travelling 21 years ago. I backpacked, slept on people’s couches, and learned the local language because it just made sense. Now, everything is online and digital. What an amazing world we live in!

Join Me In Panama For Our Next Tour

I have great news. After many meetings and explanations, the Panamanian government has agreed to keep the Investors Visa at a $300k Real Estate investment instead of nearly doubling the amount required, as they said they would. This is a massive win for our community who wants to move to or invest in Panama, but I am not sure how long this will last… If you have been thinking about Panama, then I want to make an invitation to you today. Come join me for a special four-day tour to see if the country I call home is right for you and your family. We have just released the next set of trip dates. You can find out more at ExpatMoney.com/fly. Come visit me and the Expat Money team, get a feel for the country and see if Panama makes sense for investment or as a new home.
