How to Become a Digital Nomad with Elina Geller | Ep 36

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)

Elina Geller from @themissmiles is a Russian immigrant, digital nomad, and points enthusiast from NYC currently living in Amsterdam. By day, she is a travel rewards writer for NerdWallet, and outside of that, she has many side hustles including points and miles coaching, award travel bookings, and an Etsy shop where she sells digital products.

In today's episode, we discuss how Elina made a pivot from her high-paying New York banking career to getting a Master's degree from the London School of Economics to living her best life as a digital nomad.

Elina has also been a frequent attendee at our monthly Geobreeze Travel Masterclass Hangouts, and she's quite the expert at travel insurance coverage through different credit cards. If you would like to join our next masterclass where we dive deep into different award programs each month, you can sign up using the links in the shownotes. Also, if you opt to join the Geobreeze Travel Patreon community, you'll get access to all of the masterclass hangouts, and all-access members get access to the recordings and materials from each class, including past classes. We have recordings in there covering Chase strategies, airline programs, and hotel programs.
