WHY I AM DAILY VLOGGING IN COPENHAGEN (Day 1)

Hello guys!

Right now I just arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark. So, I wasn’t recording anything last week because I was so busy with work but this week I don’t have that much work and for the next few days I will be attempting to do daily vlogging. Hopefully, it works out.

Yeah, right now first day in Copenhagen. Um, I just arrived at my Airbnb apartment and then I need to go get some snacks or cereal and milk at a supermarket or grocery store.  Yeah, we will see how it goes.

“You can never have too much Coca-Cola.”

So, I wanted to talk about the reasons why I decided to do daily vlogging for this week. I am a freelancer and as a freelancer sometimes you have work and sometimes you don’t have work. This week I don’t have work.

Becoming an Estonian E-Resident & Business Owner

TLDR? Skip to the end of the post to see the Timeline.

In 2017, I spent most of the year traveling across Europe. I really liked it. The freedom of travel within Schengen, diverse cultures and the way of living is way better than Malaysia. So I set out a goal to set up a base somewhere in Europe.

While digital nomading with Hacker Paradise, I discovered the Estonian E-Residency program. After a ton of research, I decided that I would apply for to become an E-Resident of Estonia.

Why Estonia? Their E-Resident program provides access to a borderless digital nation. They are like the Silicon Valley of Europe. They are the most digitally advanced society in the world! The government network even runs on blockchain technology so even if the nation comes under attack, the government will still exist and history cannot be rewritten by anybody.

Apart from being apart of an advanced digital nation, being an E-Resident would allow me to run a company remotely (since I now travel the world full-time) and utilize banking services within the EU. This means my business would all the benefits and protection the same with any EU company. Plus, it would be easier to deal with businesses globally with all the fintech solutions available with an EU-based business.

Leaving We-Roam, Atlanta Speaking Gig, Mokrin House

I’ve been traveling with groups for a while now and felt like I needed a break. Being on a travel program and having someone take care of all the logistics is excellent but it gets expensive because I also travel for conferences, volunteering, and work.

Most of the time would need to fork out additional expenses for flights and accommodations. It just didn’t make sense financially anymore. Travelling with We Roam was excellent but I needed to be more flexible, so I can pursue new opportunities while also being mindful financially.

We Roam Review – Polaris 2017

Unfortunately, We Roam (WY_CO) has gone bankrupt and are no longer in business. If you’re looking for a remote year or remote traveling program, consider Hacker Paradise instead. Last updated 28 September 2018.

Earlier this year, I joined the We Roam work travel program. The program is catered specifically for people that have remote jobs or freelancers. They take care of all the accommodations, coworking space and all the logistics of moving to different cities each month.

I could’ve traveled independently but decided to join the We Roam work travel program for the community and professional development they offer. Our group consists of around 30-40 people. This number fluctuates as people may pause or come and go each month.

As this is an ongoing review, some of the details will only be published once I leave the program. In the meantime, this is what I have so far:
