Digital Nomads: A Traveling Life

How many times have you dreamed that your workplace was anywhere but a cubicle in an office? Perhaps a beach somewhere? On this edition of Up To Date, we speak with people who have given up their permanent residence for a laptop, a passport and a travel guide.

Guests:

  • Shawn Hansen is a Kansas City native. He’s lived and worked in South America and Mexico.
  • Chris Baran travels the country and the world, but frequents Miami, Kansas City and San Francisco.
  • Jason Rehmus was in Kansas City this summer for a few months and now has moved on to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate. Email me at lisa@kcur.org.
