Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Taste Toast Travel, Tara sits down with Lindsey Tague to share how she left corporate marketing after burnout and a 2018 layoff to build a freelance business and become a full-time digital nomad. Nearly six years later, she’s living what she calls a “slowmad” lifestyle across Latin America, currently based in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
We unpack the realities of remote work abroad, the freedom and flexibility of location independence, and what it really takes to design a life on your own terms.
We also dig into:
✈️ Transitioning from corporate burnout to freelancing and remote work
✈️ Taking aligned risks and shifting from fear-based decisions to intentional living
✈️ The real challenges of digital nomad life, from housing mishaps to safety and scams
✈️ Smart budgeting strategies, negotiating longer stays, and managing money abroad
✈️ Embracing the “slowmad” lifestyle and spending one month to one year in a single place
✈️ Building community through Latin dance, classes, and creative connection
✈️ Mindset shifts around beginnerhood, storytelling, and focusing on who you want to help
✈️ Practical advice for 9-to-5 professionals who want to turn their skills into remote income
This episode is for anyone curious about digital nomad life, remote work in Latin America, or creating a life by design that prioritizes freedom, community, and growth. 🌎
