I recently got back from a three-week trip to Medellin, Colombia. My first time in the country, I was lucky enough to meet a few other young expats and digital nomads from the U.S., albeit in their 20s ā the next generation of Road Dogs.
These guys were totally unique and interesting in their own way, with different backgrounds, motivations, and goals, but collectively they assured me that there are still some cool people worth celebrating out here.
So, I had the chance to sit down and chat with Jay āThe Worldā as I call him, or Jay Caviel.
Assigning any definitions to Jay is a foolās errand, but we might as well try. Heās a Portland skater, creative genius who hated school, and went from selling weed to the iron workers union to corporate sales and tech recruiting.
Jay just recently moved to Medellin, Colombia on a whim, where he bought the biggest computer monitor Iāve ever seen and jumped into the world of FX or forex trading (I had no idea what that was, but itās a foreign currency trading ā quite a complex and daunting undertaking).
Now, heās 100% locked in and focused on becoming an āall-star FX trader.ā He speaks limited Spanish but will soon start an immersive nine-month course. He lives with locals and rides a bike around the city.
Jay is ready to learn how to surf and asked me extensively about Costa Rica, but admittedly canāt swim that great yet.
Heās fearless, disciplined, and balanced but with the wisdom of an old soul - a true lifestyle architect.
Try putting him in a box, I dare yaā¦
It would need to be as big as the world.
Itās encouraging for me to see that there are people who travel and live abroad for the right reasons ā not just to leverage comfort and pleasure at low prices, but to explore the world, experience other cultures, learn every day, humble themselves, and increase the vibe no matter where they are.
Enjoy this podcast interview with Jay, who doesnāt know where heās going yetā¦but is on the exact right path.
