I am a prior – and future – digital nomad who being part of the financial independence and retire early (FIRE) community, the digital nomad (DN) community and to a lesser extent the real estate investor (REI) community have decided to create a website to combine all of these community resources in one place for easy lookup.

By trade I am a software and data engineer with a bent to data science and operations who spent a lot of time in the marketing world.

My goal with FINomad is to combine elements of FI/FIRE, Digital nomad-ism (geoarb) and REI into one and use methods from all three communities to craft my own path. Not being married to one discipline I can mix and match from each. There are a lot of interesting paths and financial models I want to explore.

This site will be tracking my development, my methodologies and my progress towards hopeful financial independence using tools from REI, FI and DN.

Therefore:

The goal of F.I. Nomad is severalfold.

• Collect tools, spreadsheets, links, books and podcasts and so forth for (I’ll coin it now: FIREIDN):

  • Digital nomads (travel, credit card churning, living frugal etc)
  • Financial independence and early retirement (investments, retirement accounts, frugality and taxes etc)
  • Real estate investing (financing and mortgages, property data engineering, housing hacks)

• Provide unique and in-depth analysis and tools for a journey that uses the tools and techniques from all three of these communities and combines them in interesting and innovative ways to try to become FI (financially independent) faster.

• Collect and track the progress of the author.

• Provide cookbooks for building blogs, affiliate marketing, email marketing, tools, data scrapers and parsing tools, data analysis, machine learning with real estate data using H2O, Spark, and potentially AWS Sagemaker.

• Documenting my path to getting a real estate license if it is determined that it is needed.

and maybe, just maybe, make the world a bit better in the process.

note that I will provide links to affiliates to maybe help offset some time invested here.
