She then tells the story of how she pivoted again when online gaming regulations changed in the U.S. and she saw an opportunity to build a business helping professional online poker players physically relocate outside of the U.S.. She talks about how she founded and expanded that company, attracting the attention of ESPN, Bloomberg and other major media outlets. She opens up about her personal journey living primarily outside her home country of the U.S. since 2003, in over 50 countries, and shares the strategies and tactics she has developed for sustaining an itinerant digital nomad lifestyle over the long-term. She explains how to create community support structures, how to optimize work-life balance amidst the excitement of travel, and how to culturally adapt and form deep connections with each place you live to mitigate loneliness and travel fatigue. She then shares her personal morning routine, productivity hacks, and recommends a very remote travel destination with one of the highest concentrations of plant and animal life in the world, where you can see colorful toucans flying around and very few people.

The Maverick Show is a global travel podcast about what really happens when people cross borders and build lives across cultures. Hosted by full-time world traveler Matt Bowles, each episode features intimate, unfiltered conversations (often over a bottle of wine) exploring the human stories behind global travel and what the journey teaches us about the world and ourselves.  Guests include expats, digital nomads, women and diaspora storytellers, worldschooling families, and human rights advocates, all sharing travel stories that are funny, moving, and deeply human.  In addition to hearing about extraordinary places and the people who live there, you’ll learn what it’s really like to move abroad, build an expat life, or travel long-term, as guests open up about their personal journeys navigating culture, race, power, identity, and belonging in an unequal world. If you’ve ever felt that travel changes you in ways no one talks about, you’re in the right place.  The Maverick Show hit the Top 100 on Apple Podcasts (including #1 in Places & Travel), was ranked in the Top 1% of podcasts globally by Listen Notes, and was named the #1 Digital Nomad Podcast and #1 Remote Work Podcast by Million Podcasts — with hundreds of five-star listener reviews.
