Bori Vigh takes us on her journey growing up in Hungary, being an entrepreneur, and eventually becoming a digital nomad with no permanent base. She shares some techniques for creating ‘deep connections’ and explains how important that is in a full time travel lifestyle. Bori talks about the event space in Hungary that she runs remotely and her “Belong Camp” Retreat for digital nomads that she organizes. She also takes us on her travel journey, starting with family trips as a kid, then studying abroad in Spain, and then solo traveling the world while building one of the largest backpacker blogs in Hungary. Bori then shares the transformative impact of her first solo trip to Buenos Aires, how that inspired her to hand-write her first bucket list, and how that has guided her life ever since. She shares some of her travel highlights, and also reflects on the evolving nomad eco-system and how she balances local travel experiences with nomad-community-building. Bori also talks about her business mentorship program and shares some of the techniques she personally uses for business success including the current mastermind group she is in. She offers Maverick Show listeners a 10% discount on both her Belong Camp retreat and her business mentorship services. FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
