Ep.12 Exploring life, routine, and visions with Leon Cheung

11/14/23 • 54 min

For this episode, I sat down with my good friend Leon Cheung. I met Leon in Florianopolis, Brazil. We very quickly bonded over being digital nomads, our obsession for the sun and our love for good food, it was a match made in heaven. Leon is relatively new to the digital nomad life. After graduating from University in Scotland, he took a leap of faith and started travelling. He found a remote job whilst on the road and has never looked back. Leon is now a Corporate Operations Coordinator at Modulex Group.

Leon has a really interesting perspective to the digital nomad lifestyle and I really enjoyed getting deep with him. We chat why routine should be your ride or die, real thoughts on the Amazon and what's next for Leon. He's also got me to create my own vision board off the back of this conversation, so make sure you give it a listen.
