The digital nomad movement appears to have hit a tipping point, with professionals ditching the commute for the continent-hop. No longer just a trend for freelance backpackers, experienced professionals are prioritising experience and work-life balance over equity.

Debbie-Ann Jollie, a Marketing Consultant and Business Coach originally from Trinidad and Tobago, who is also known as the Stammering Communicator on LinkedIn, has been based in Viet Nam since the latter half of 2025. In this podcast episode, she joins us to discuss, among other things:

* Why did she choose Viet Nam as opposed to more popular locations or one closer to home?

* How has the cost of living to quality of output affected the rates for her services?

* Does she see opportunities for South-South collaboration between Southeast Asia and the Caribbean?

* And what advice would she give to someone considering becoming a digital nomad?
