Hello from the world!

Hola, I’m Lena! I’m a digital nomad at heart, constantly seeking new horizons with a deep love for exploring the world’s hidden corners (and yes, I often find myself returning to the same amazing cities because they hold a special place in my journey!).

I still remember my first solo adventure, trekking through the vibrant streets of Lisbon. The freedom, the culture, and the sheer possibility in every alley was intoxicating. That trip sparked a passion for travel that has only grown stronger with every destination.

Since then, I’ve worked from bustling cafés in Japan, remote mountain cabins in Georgia, and serene beaches in Thailand. Each place offers a new story, a unique culture, and a chance to push my boundaries.

Through Nomadso, I want to share the excitement, challenges, and lessons I’ve gathered from life on the road, hoping to inspire you to explore the world on your own terms—whether you're a seasoned wanderer or just setting out.

Nomadso is a blog dedicated to the digital nomad lifestyle—from practical tips on remote work to in-depth guides on destinations, and everything in between.

The idea for this site actually struck me during a long train ride through the mountains of northern Vietnam. With every curve in the track, I realized I wanted to document my travels and help others navigate this adventurous lifestyle.

I love packing up my laptop, grabbing my backpack, and setting off to explore new places, no matter the country, no matter the challenge. Learning about local cultures, tasting new foods, and connecting with fellow travelers around the world is what I live for!

My goal is to help you enjoy the nomadic life without needing a trust fund, a six-figure income, or endless planning. With some clever tips, a bit of resourcefulness, and a love for adventure, anyone can live this lifestyle.

My mission with this blog is to make travel more accessible, fulfilling, and meaningful for everyone. Learn from my experiences, uncover travel hacks, and dive into life on the road with ease!

And just so you know, my travel tips, destination guides, and gear recommendations are all based on personal experience. I fund my adventures on my own, test every app and tool, and navigate every twist and turn myself—so you’re getting honest, unfiltered advice.

I am here to help!

If you have questions about remote work, need destination advice, or just want to connect with a fellow traveler, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always excited to share what I know and help in any way I can!
