Digital Nomad Experts - Beach Commute

Julie Kornfeld has one of the most interesting backgrounds out of any of the digital nomads we have interviewed.

Julie was a refugee lawyer representing people throughout the globe who were looking for a legal path to finding a place of safety.

She represented people from Burma to Guatemala, Nicaragua, and everywhere in between. She’s quite literally worked with clients throughout the world.

As part of her career path on a trip to Uganda that she caught the travel bug. A spark was lit inside her. She knew that travel had to be a major part of her life.

While working as a refugee lawyer, she put “become a digital nomad” on her bucket list. And Julie is not a person to dwell on things that she wants - she charges forward into life headfirst.

Julie has now been a full-time digital nomad since 2021.
