Escape abroad with help from Kristin Wilson and Mikkel Thorup, the Director of EscapeArtist.com
“You can’t be a one dimensional human in the new economy”
Mikkel Thorup is the Director at EscapeArtist.com - the oldest and largest offshore website in the world. He's also the host of The Expat Money Show podcast and author of the book Expat Secrets.
In this episode, Mikkel shares how he was able to travel full-time for 20 years - often with no job, no money, and no plan. He's visited 104 countries in that time and today he helps people pay zero taxes, bank and invest offshore, and acquire second passports or citizenship.
Today's show takes a deep dive into how to achieve and sustain an expat lifestyle, covering Mikkel's trajectory from broke backpacker to successful entrepreneur.
