    I am a professional digital nomad, currently in Asia, but planning to visit as many countries as I can manage. My wife and I sold our guest house in South Africa and are now living the dream. A skilled and accomplished captioner, I also have extensive content writing and search engine optimization skills. I currently spend a minimum of 40 hours per week working online and would like to broaden my income base. I am quick to learn, with great research skills and advanced linguistic skills. I have extensive life experience, am a published author, have produced a full-length feature film and was a commissioned officer in the then South African Defense Force with combat experience in the mustering of Company Commander and Staff Officer (Force Application). My income expectations are modest: We have some savings from the sale of our guest house but just want to support our travels and nomadic lifestyle. Oh, and eat a lot of seafood.
