🫶How do you take care of yourself when nomading?
I love this question SO MUCH!!
Self-care is my daily ritual. I’m a huge supporter of the “fill your own cup first” theory, which I teach employees in my holistic happiness workshops. Only when our own batteries are supercharged, we can be fully present & give to others. No one can pour out of an empty cup anyways!
Therefore, I place high importance on my daily morning routine for a proper check-in with myself before I give to others, no matter where I am.
Starting with affirmations, then a 10 min meditation, a bit of gratitude journaling followed by a workout (surf, gym, run), and my holy morning almond latte.
I also schedule me-time date nights when I feel like my weeks have been overly social to ensure I always return home to myself.
I take my inner Digital Nomad on a little 3-day Digital Detox getaway with a bunch of books and green juices.
Bali comes in handy here because I enjoy joining any spiritual-energy workshops to tune in with myself.
Additionally, I make sure to self-care with an affordable spa pampering day now and then and around every two months.
>>> Sara, work and life is about supporting better wellbeing and health for Nomads.
✴️ How do you find community as a nomad?
One of my favourite quotes is, “Your vibe attracts your tribe,” therefore, I believe that when we do what we love, we attract our kind of people. I think the key is to show up consistently, genuinely care, and listen and do everything from a place of love and not the need to fit in. People can smell authenticity from miles away.
I’m all about connecting (with) people stronger than wifi.
For instance, my eye connect game can become handy for ditching small talk and meeting new people.
Additionally, I’m never one to put myself in a box and describe myself as more of a “Mambo number five” of different interests, hobbies, and communities.
Like a colorful bouquet, I love switching between my different personality bubbles from the surfer-gang to my Nomad entrepreneur friends, volunteering opportunities, gym fitness freaks, and spiritual woo-woo bubble.

🌱 How do you consider the planet and minimise your impact?
It might come surprising, but when I’m not on planes, I am very connected to nature and trying to protect and give back to this beautiful planet I call home. Similar to digital nomad Christen Scalfano, I like to raise money for charity and ran a half marathon across Bali to raise funds for a huge plastic clean-up.
When it comes to my daily habits, I do my “three for the sea” (collecting a minimum of three items of the trash whenever I go for a beach walk), always use my own refillable coffee cup and water bottle.
I also don’t eat meat and get my fruits and veggies at the local farmer's market.
