Welcome to Oh, Nomad!
My name is Kate Zarb, born in beautiful Bondi, Australia.
I am a business owner, teacher, blogger and digital nomad.
After suffering heartbreak at 21, I made a sudden decision to leave my hometown and travel around Australia. A 15,000km journey around the coastline …and I was hooked!
Like many people in their 20s, I balanced work in hospitality and ‘temp roles’ with travel. I volunteered, WWOOFed, and cut costs. Later, as a qualified TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) teacher, I spent years in Mexico and Colombia.
Yet, I wanted even more flexibility in where and how I could travel.
Grounded due to the global pandemic, I threw myself into learning how I could be one of these mythical, fancy ‘digital nomads’ that I’d heard so much about.
I tried (and failed) to successfully build a nomad-friendly income, with my first attempts at freelance online teaching ending in only a trickle of interest and a casual gig tutoring for just under $20 AUD/hr. I knew there was a better way.
I persisted and kept learning. I built teachenglishonline.com.au in 2020 to help other teachers like me and slowly, over time, I began to be able to survive on my online income.
I was offered a part-time remote teaching position and started using all of my free time to teach myself how to blog and make money.
Combining multiple income streams, I am now able to live and work wherever I want.
It took more than three years to make my dreams of a location-independent lifestyle a reality… luckily, you don’t have to wait! Oh, Nomad! is written to fast-track your digital nomad journey.
