Learned the digital nomad dream was a scam lol

I quickly realized the "dream" is nothing like you see on social media. I managed to string together a few client projects and even earn more than I did at my previous job (WOOTWOOT), but my income was inconsistent, I was burned out from working 12+ hours daily and sometimes I went weeks and months at a time without any new projects. After moving back to Brooklyn from Medellin, paying rent was a struggle and I found myself burned out and in debt.
