How she manages to run her business as a nomad

For computer-heavy tasks, they book a co-working space once a week.

How they plan their travel schedule

“When you wake up in the morning, and it’s just you and nature, you sit there next to the van, the cat is trolling around, you just hear the birds, and it feels like you are alone in the world, everything is just beautiful.”

Daisy’s advice to people interested in starting a nomadic lifestyle 

At [22:19], she advises people interested in starting a nomadic lifestyle to first figure out the kind of nomadic lifestyle they want. In addition, they should expect to spend more money than they plan for.

“Living in a van and moving around all the time isn’t for everybody.”
