The 7 Unexpected Cons of Traveling Quickly as a Digital Nomad
Marisa just wrapped up a trip visiting 10 different countries in Eastern Europe over a period of only 2.5 months.
After a month in Bulgaria, she traveled a bit quicker through Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Spain.
While social media tends to showcase the positive highlights of travel, here at Beach Commute, we love to share the real ups AND downs of travel, and everything in between. 
So, in this episode, Marisa shares the honest truth of how difficult it was to travel this quickly while also working full-time.
In this episode, you’ll learn…

The 7 specific hardships of traveling quickly as a digital nomad
Why Marisa sometimes travels quickly from country to country, and why Jeff and Diego almost never do
The most recent times Marisa woke up and didn’t know what country she was in
3 reasons why Marisa occasionally travels quickly, even though it’s difficult to do while working (and why she’s planning to do less of it moving forward)
Why Marisa sometimes chooses to live in or visit countries she’s not that excited about (why?!)
Why working while traveling quickly is completely different than traveling as a backpacker or full-time traveler (and how traveling quickly can take a massive toll on your creativity and work productivity)
The 4 aspects of fast travel that can have a HUGE effect on your physical health
Marisa’s favorite, unexpected benefits of staying in one location for at least 3-4 weeks (or longer), and what you may miss out on when staying in one location for only a short time
Why it’s harder to build a community when you’re traveling more quickly

If you have a dream of living as a digital nomad (and/or visiting many different countries in your lifetime), then this episode is for you! You'll find out if the pros of traveling quickly (and visiting many different destinations) outweigh the cons…
And what to consider when traveling quickly while working a full-time job.
