Sheila working from Palma coliving Mallorca
Sheila is a full-time digital nomad and content creator. Her work is to travel the world and stay in beautiful coliving spaces sharing life experiences and user-generated content on her social media accounts. She managed to make her hobby become her full-time job and main income, and we think this is something very valuable!! If you are thinking about finding a job that can help you travel and know new places, her story could be very interesting for you.
The breaking point: how to get out of your comfort zone
She is originally from Barcelona, but when she was finishing her university studies she realized that she did not want the same thing for her life as her classmates. “One day, I saw an ad on Instagram with an incredible landscape and a kangaroo: it was a photo from Australia. I was amazed by its beauty and I said… I have to see this place some day. I didn’t know how to do it so I started looking for information and I found a program to study English and work in Australia with a student visa. And I went for it.”
Living in Australia was her first experience away from home and allowed her to keep her mind open, learn a new language, make her first small company named “Sport Experience Australia” and do important networking in the hotel & travel business. This is when she met her future business partner, David Draffin, with whom a few years later she created “Btique Nomad”.
The power of personal branding
As Sheila began to delve into the world of digital marketing and content creation, she realized that she could help other people or companies position themselves within the digital world and social networks. This is how he began his journey as a freelancer, understanding that it was the perfect way to combine it with travel, being able to do it from anywhere on the planet.
She started her own travel guides and Instagram profile named @sheilaflores__where she posts regularly about travel tips, locations, accommodations, and local culture. She also posts on her business account @btiquenomad and, combined, she has almost 40.000 followers supporting her journey.
