Hi, I'm Shlomo Kubitshuk, a digital nomad who has fully embraced the integration of work and travel into a single, fluid lifestyle. Originally from the United States, I now spend my time exploring different corners of the world while managing my career entirely online.

My journey into this lifestyle began with a desire to escape the conventional nine-to-five routine. I wanted the freedom to set my own schedule and the opportunity to see the world. Once I got a taste of working from a balcony overlooking the ocean, I knew there was no turning back.

I handle the challenges of working across various time zones by using tools like World Time Buddy to keep my schedule intact and ensure I'm always connected when needed. Discipline is key to my productivity, and I maintain a morning routine—starting with coffee and some exercise—no matter where I am in the world. Whether it’s a coworking space or a quiet cafe, finding the right place to work is crucial.

Lisbon, Portugal, stands out as my favorite work location so far because of its vibrant remote work community, great coffee, and fast internet. But I also enjoy quieter places like Chiang Mai, Thailand, when I need to focus deeply.

For anyone considering the digital nomad lifestyle, I’d suggest starting small—try working remotely from a different city before you leap into full-time nomadic life. Adaptability is essential; things won't always go as planned, but the ability to adapt is part of the adventure. Embrace the journey, and let each experience teach you something new about what works and what doesn’t in this dynamic lifestyle.
