About Me

Christen Scalfano about me

Welcome! My name is Christen, and I’m a solo traveling digital nomad here to help women see the world on their own terms.

I’ve been solo traveling the world for over 5 years across 45 countries. The journey brought me to building my own companies and spending 3 years a digital nomad working from over 30 countries. These days, you’ll catch me slowmading solo and sustainably by public transport from Europe to Asia, avoiding flights whenever possible and working from my anywhere.

It’s pretty simple. I’m here to make your travel dreams a reality.

Whether that’s getting location independent through remote work or planning your first solo trip, my Nomad Mentor Program’s travel consulting services can help. 

If I can do it, you can too. I started as a Texas kid with near zero travel experience who moved to D.C. with dreams of working in government. As fate and bureaucracy would have it, I ended up teaching English in China on a gap year after university… but never moved back. The travel bug caught hold of me and I haven’t stopped traveling since.

After two years of language teaching across Asia and building online side hustles, 2020 pushed me into full-time digital nomadism. Having lost my job, evacuated Asia, and settled down in Mexico, I was forced me to bet on myself. I still run that small e-Learning business that got me through the pandemic. These days, most of my time is dedicated to travel consulting, travel writing, and remote work advocacy. 

Here are some of the things I can help you with as a travel consultant:

  • If you’re an aspiring digital nomad, I help you get on the road and start seeing the globe. Whether that’s landing a remote job, starting your own online business, or getting a job abroad, we build a personalized plan as unique as you are. 
  • If you’re a solo traveler but need a little help to get you there, I help you plan spectacular solo trips. From choosing the best destination to building the itinerary and every nitty-gritty thing in between, I’m your gal.
  • If you’re hosting a digital nomad or digital tourism event, I offer speaker services and workshops on remote work topics. 
  • I’m a travel writer providing articles for various publications, including my own site

My purpose here is to help you navigate the nomad life. Let’s get you all of the information, inspiration, and support that you need to help make your globetrotting dreams reality.

“Live your life by a compass, not a clock.”
