A Field Guide to Leaving the Corner Office Without Losing Your Mind, Finding Work That Works, and Occasionally Finding the Right Bus.
From Chapter 1: "Let's Circle Back" — the moment everything changed.
"I was standing in a field in Croatia at 2AM, holding a passport and a flip-flop, wondering how I got here. Not in the existential sense — I knew exactly how I got here. I'd missed the last bus because I was checking email from a client who would forget my name by Friday. The question was why I was still checking email at all."
— Corporate Nomad's Guide to the Galaxy, Chapter 1
Developed through 20 years of consulting at Hitachi, BDO, UCG Partners, and Oracle. Five specific, predictable failure modes that destroy both corporate careers and the trips meant to save you from them.
The "Let's circle back" syndrome. You stay because leaving might look like failure.
When protecting the dream kills the dream. You optimize for safety over truth.
The rookie tax in every negotiation. You overpay because you undervalue yourself.
The corner office that became a cell. You built infrastructure that owns you.
Losing yourself in the performance of freedom. You travel but never arrive.
Deep-dive operational guides for specific regions and skills. Each dossier is a complete playbook — tax residency, banking, visa rotation, gear, checklists, and templates that actually work on the ground.
The most underrated 90-day Schengen reset in Europe. This dossier covers the full operational stack: opening a local bank account as a foreigner, navigating the 10% flat corporate tax regime, registering a sole trader (d.o.o. alternative), visa runs to Montenegro and Serbia, and exactly how to structure your exit from Schengen so you never overstay.
The packing philosophy that lets you travel for months with a single carry-on. Born from 20+ years of being both in boardrooms and border crossings, this dossier is a complete audit of what actually goes in the bag, what never should, and how to make the 40L system work across Nordic winter, Southeast Asian humidity, and desert heat — without a single checked bag.
Stay in Europe indefinitely — legally. This is the operational playbook for the 90/180 rolling rule, showing exactly how to time your exits, which non-Schengen countries work as pivots, and how to structure your digital nomad visa pipeline so you never hit a hard reset. Includes the spreadsheet tracker, country-by-country entry/exit matrices, and the legal boundaries most nomads accidentally cross.
Part travel memoir. Part consulting playbook. Part field guide to not dying at your desk.
"The best book about corporate burnout and geographic freedom since... honestly, there's nothing like this."
