Dating Abroad & The Real Cost of Living Your Dream Life as a Digital Nomad
Five years ago, Lindsey Tague bought a one-way ticket to Mexico and transformed her life into something most people only dream about. As a full-time digital nomad who's built a thriving content marketing business across seven countries, Lindsey pulls back the curtain on what nomadic life actually looks like—beyond the Instagram highlights.
This conversation gets wonderfully raw and real. Lindsey shares stories from living on a Colombian island without electricity or running water, navigating romantic relationships across cultures and language barriers, and the unglamorous reality of Airbnb disasters that nobody posts about. She opens up about the complicated dance of being an independent American woman in cultures with traditional gender roles, and why that's both attractive and challenging.
What makes this episode so powerful is Lindsey's honesty about not having it all figured out from the start. She wasn't rich or fearless—she simply took one step at a time and learned as she went. If you've ever wondered whether the digital nomad life is truly accessible or just another curated fantasy, this conversation will give you the unfiltered truth you've been looking for.
