Overlanding As Digital Nomads In South America With Martin & Amy of El Truckito | RVE 323

The RV Entrepreneur

Have you ever thought about overlanding in a truck camper as a digital nomad in foreign country? If the idea of combining your professional life with the adventure of overlanding has ever crossed your mind, then you're in for a treat.

Martin and Amy have been overlanding in South America, while working remotely, in their trusty GMC based truck camper they call, El Truckito. And their mission is to visit every country in the Americas!

They began their journey in Boston and have been on the road for 14 months. They've already conquered the southernmost city in the world, and now, they're weaving their way back to Boston, one slow and deliberate mile at a time.

In this episode, we dive into the evolution of their journey, from road-tripping in a Mazda 6 to upgrading to a truck camper, driven by a desire for a more cost-effective and flexible exploration of South and Central America.

We also discuss planning, logistics, border crossings, navigating the diverse cultures and terrains, their strategies for finding campsites and essential resources, and budgeting with the foreign tax exclusion.

And, of course, we dive into the day-to-day realities of remote work on the road. From securing reliable internet connections in diverse environments, to finding a balance between work and exploration, Martin and Amy share the highs and lows of maintaining a digital nomad lifestyle.
