How I Use AI to Run My Digital Nomad Business (While Traveling the World)

I run my online income streams while bouncing between cities, hostels, and sometimes hammocks. Here's the AI stack that makes it possible β€” no coding required.


🧳 My Real-Life Problem as a Nomad

Imagine this: you're in Vietnam. It’s 2AM. The Wi-Fi sucks. You’re on deadline. And you forgot to invoice your client in USD. That was me.

After 6 months of chaos, I built a minimalist AI stack that now runs most of my content, scheduling, payments, and marketing β€” so I can focus on traveling, creating, and sleeping (sometimes).


πŸ› οΈ The Tools That Run My Nomad Life

🎬 1. Fliki β€” AI Video Generator

Fliki helps me turn my travel tips and blog posts into short-form videos with voiceover.

Use case: Repurpose content into YouTube Shorts & TikToks β€” no editing needed.

✍️ 2. Promptimize β€” Prompt Tuning for AI Writers

PromptimizeAI improves my prompts before I feed them to ChatGPT or Claude.

Result: More accurate, SEO-friendly posts with less editing.

πŸ’Έ 3. Wise β€” Multi-currency Banking

Wise lets me receive client payments, pay in local currencies, and avoid huge conversion fees.

Example: I saved over €250 in fees during 2024 just by switching.

✈️ 4. WayAway β€” Flights + Cashback

WayAway finds cheap flights and gives me cashback for every booking.

Bonus: You can earn commissions if you promote it as an affiliate.


πŸ” My Workflow Today

  • Outline in Promptimize
  • Write & edit in Notion or Markdown
  • Convert to video with Fliki
  • Post to Medium + Substack + LinkedIn
  • Share on TikTok, Pinterest
  • Manage finances with Wise
  • Track clicks/conversions via PostHog

πŸ’‘ Key Lessons

  • You don't need a huge team. Just smart automation.
  • AI saves time β€” not just for devs or marketers, but for creators, educators, freelancers.
  • The less you manage manually, the more time you have to actually live.

πŸ”’ Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. I only recommend tools I actively use in my daily workflow. If you sign up, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
