How to Build Wealth While Traveling
A Life of Purpose and Prosperity on the Road
In this powerful talk, Joaquim Miro, digital nomad and founder of Remote Work Villas, shares how he built a life of wealth, freedom, and purpose while traveling to over 60 countries. From $3,000 and a one-way ticket to Vietnam, to co-founding businesses, investing in Web3 startups, and creating vibrant co-living communities around the world—Joe’s story is proof that it’s not just possible, but deeply rewarding to build wealth on your own terms.
This session was recorded live at a digital nomad conference in Bansko and is now available here as a masterclass in designing your dream lifestyle.

The Three Foundations of Wealth While Traveling
Clarity &
Purpose
Discover how defining your personal “why” creates unstoppable momentum—and how frameworks like Ikigai and Simon Sinek’s Why–How–What can help you craft a meaningful life direction.
Environment & Community
Why who you live with, where you live, and how your space is designed can make or break your growth. Learn the six pillars behind Remote Work Villas’ thriving global communities.
Habits & Daily Systems
How small, consistent habits in breathing, eating, sleeping, movement, focus, and celebration are more powerful than any quick-win tactic. As Joe puts it: “You don’t choose your future—you choose your habits, and they determine your future.”
Real Tactics from the Road
Joe doesn’t just talk theory—he shares:
- How he survived (and thrived) on $5/day while building a digital skill set.
- Creative ways to earn through bartering, freelancing, and equity in startups.
- How slow travel and long-term stays stretch your budget while enriching your experience.
- How alternative investments and strategic equity led to financial freedom.
What Is Remote Work Villas?
Remote Work Villas is the culmination of this philosophy: a network of curated coliving spaces for entrepreneurs and remote professionals to live, work, and grow together in paradise. Our villas are designed around the six elements Joe discovered through years of testing:
- Growth-minded community
- High-speed internet & stable power
- Nutritious meals & healthy lifestyle
- Quiet deep work environments
- Inspiring natural settings
- Easy access to routines like yoga, fitness, or meditation
We’ve hosted experiences in Bali, Mexico, Los Angeles, and Vancouver Island, with more coming soon—including our next villa in the Dominican Republic this November.
