SuperAMA with Saurav Arya a.k.a Indian Digital Nomad

The core idea of SuperAMA series is to dive deeper into unexplored areas of talented creators & try to find that nerve as in 'what makes awesome creators, awesome!'✨

Saurav Arya is the founder of Small World, WorkStays and Cultural Immersion and Impressive Infographics. He’s also a Digital Nomad and had visited 91/195 countries in the world. How amazing is that? 🥳

This week we spoke with Saurav Arya about his life, work, interests & soo much more... with no further delay, lets get started! 👇

✈️⛺What motivated you to become a Digital Nomad?

Living a year full of sundays motivated me to pack my work in my backpack and get on this life quest to visit all 195 countries. 💻🌴🌎

👨‍💻 Remote work culture has opened doors for many towards adopting digital nomadic culture, how do you see this trend shaping up in the future?

I believe we would witness an exponential rise in the number of people embracing DN lifestyle this decade. Earlier it was a choice, now its a new normal. We'd see employers encouraging their employees not just to work remotely and work async but also work from anywhere and travel around if they prefer it that way.

🌍 Going by the geography, economy & demographical norms, what is the best country you had visited so far and why? (We'd love to see some pictures📸)

I can't decide which one is the best but some of my favorites are : Guatemala, Kyrgyzstan, Colombia, Vietnam and Japan

⛺ How should one think about getting started with Digital Nomadism?

Join my bootcamp 🙂 (JK)

To get started, start with short workcation trips. Meet DNs who has been living this lifestyle to understand pros and cons of being a DN. It's different from what we see on Youtube and IG.

Join clubhouse rooms to discuss about different aspects of DN lifestyle. Read books - 4 hour work week, $100 startup, Vagabonding.

Your Digital Nomad Bootcamp sounds fun! What is it about?

It's a two week remote bootcamp which prepares you to live, work and travel around the world.

From building lifestyle businesses, passive income source to travel tips, tricks and hacks, we discuss A to Z of DN lifestyle.

🎥 What motivated you to become a content creator?

Creating content has been an outlet for me to let out all my life experiences and learnings. I still feel guilty for not writing about travel experiences that often but I try to make up for the same by hosting clubhouse rooms and bootcamps.
