Description

How to avoid income tax & ensure your cyber security while living as a digital nomad (with Dallas the Privacy Postmaster)
Have you ever wondered how you’ll get your mail or important documents while you’re traveling the world for months at a time?
Or how you can pay less (or no) income tax back home while you’re traveling to foreign countries?
Or how you can make sure your private banking and computer information is safe from cyber attacks while traveling?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then this episode is for you.
In this episode, Marisa interviews Dallas the Privacy Postmaster, a longtime digital nomad who is a resident of both South Dakota AND Lisbon, Portugal, in order to creatively (and legally!) avoid income taxes while he lives abroad and travels the world.
Through this episode, you’ll learn:

Why Dallas chose to get residency in South Dakota (even though he’s never lived there) in order to legally avoid state income taxes, what the process was like, the pros and cons of different states in the US that offer tax free benefits, and how you can do it too
How he got his residency in Lisbon, Portugal (in addition to his US citizenship), the reasons he (and so many other digital nomads) choose this particular destination, and how you can do it too
How he ended up living in Japan for 3 years teaching English in the 80’s, even though he “barely graduated high school” himself
The 3 most popular states in the US where you don’t have to pay income tax (and the caveats to each)
How living as a digital nomad can actually save you so much money, even if you’re living in amazing destinations or paying for flights around the world
How his mid-life crisis at age of 50 led him to run away to Europe for a 7 week “eat, pray, love” jaunt, including showing up at airports with no tickets booked
The benefit of having multiple passports from different countries, and how you can do this too
Why VPNs are an absolute must as a digital nomad, and how a private VPN may save your life in a bind while traveling
His best tip for you to figure out which country or destination you’d like to explore or live in longer term
