In this episode of the Expat Empire Podcast, we will be hearing from Gerri Detweiler. Gerri is no stranger to traveling. She traveled to Canada, Japan, and Haiti through various exchange and outreach programs all before leaving high school. As this was before the Internet became widely available, the resulting culture shock enabled Gerri to fully immerse herself in these diverse cultures and develop a passion for travel.   With her daughter moving on to further her studies in Norway, Gerri and her husband are now empty nesters. Making the most of this development, Gerri is prepared to fulfill her wish to travel and work remotely. Successfully reinstating her Lithuanian citizenship, Gerri is now free to move about the Schengen Zone. She recently took a 2-month trip around England, France, and Portugal with her husband and daughter to gain a better understanding of what it would feel like to move to Europe in the future.   In this episode, you’ll hear all about Gerri’s recent adventures, how she made it happen, and the tips and advice she has for others trying to follow in her footsteps!   LEARN in this episode:   ✔ How coaching/consulting can help you get past analysis paralysis    ✔ How to save money on travel accommodation by housesitting   ✔ Helpful tips and tricks as well as online communities to get you started as a digital nomad     FIND Gerri at:   ► Website: https://www.gerridetweiler.com/restartremote.html   ► Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/gerridetweilerer/   ► LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/gerridetweiler   -----   SCHEDULE your free consulting call: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireContact   DOWNLOAD our free Top 10 Tips for Moving Abroad eBook: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireTop10   REVIEW us: https://ratethispodcast.com/expatempire   DONATE to support the show: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireDonation   FOLLOW us on Social Media:   ► Instagram: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireIG   ► Facebook: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireFB   ► LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireLI
