Izzie and Zia, digital nomads

Welcome to The Portable Life

I'm Izzie, a software engineer-turned-digital-nomad. I spend my days working remotely and weekends exploring.

After years of travelling, I realised how hard it can be to find honest information — the kind that tells you what a destination is really like for remote workers.

I created this space to share genuine experiences (the good and the not-so-perfect), practical guides for aspiring digital nomads, tips on where to stay, work, eat, and explore, and what life abroad is actually like.

My goal is simple: to help you feel confident choosing your next adventure.
