Imagine leaving everything you know behind to embrace the life of a digital nomad. That's exactly what Rocko did, and he's here to share the exhilarating chronicle of his transformation from a Memphis local to a globetrotting adventurer. You'll journey with us through his tales of discovery, from his initial trip to Belize to his appearance on HGTV's House Hunters International in Costa Rica, and learn how he's woven travel into the fabric of his life over the past three years. His story isn't just about the places he's visited—it's a profound look at the choices that have led him to a life without borders.
Now, let's talk money, but not in the way you'd think. Rocko pulls back the curtain on the financial realities of a YouTuber's life and the myth of easy earnings from online stardom. We'll compare the cost of living in Thailand, to the steep prices of cities like San Francisco, and Rocco will share how an online job can sustain a nomadic lifestyle. From managing expenses to navigating local transportation, his practical tips will prove invaluable whether you're considering a move abroad or just curious about the cost benefits of such an adventurous life.
Our final leg of the episode takes us to Thailand, where Rocko talks about riding the waves of tourist seasons and offers sage advice for dealing with the tropical climate. We also tackle common misconceptions about beach life and give you the inside scoop on currency exchange and ATMs. You won't want to miss these life hacks for making the most out of your travels, and be sure to catch Rocko's escapades on his YouTube channel, duoUwander, as well as on Facebook and Instagram for a daily dose of adventure.
