Hello! I'm Augusto Spineli — nice to meet you! 👋

I was born in Tabatinga, Brazil, back in ’93. I’m a Buddhist. Since 2021, I’ve been living a nomadic life, been to 20+ countries so far, and as far as I know, my current zip code is somewhere in Asia.

I used to be a miserable corporate drone (and not in a good way), got featured in Estadão de Minas as the founder of a tech startupteamed up with so-called “celebrity” influencers on campaigns, and I’ve worked on over 100 projects including brands like Nestlé, P&G, 99, BIC, and Porto Seguro all while traveling.

I was never comfortable with routine. Just the thought of following the script someone else wrote for my life gave me hives. So when discomfort turned into fuel, I left. Sold what I could, packed my stories, my fears and yeah, the kind of courage only someone who's really alive can feel.

I road-tripped along Brazil’s coastline for 140 days. Also got interviewed by SBT News about digital nomadism while I was living in Bali 🇮🇩

I rented a motorhome and drove across half of Japan 🇯🇵
I climbed Mount Fuji: 8 hours up, 4 hours down. It's like fucking C-R-A-Z-Y.

In 2025, I went through one of the scariest moments of my nomad life: a 7.7 magnitude earthquake shook the building I was in — 18th floor, Bangkok. For a second, I thought it was the end. It wasn’t lol

I also spent 7 full days in total silence at Wat Ram Poeng monastery, up north in Thailand 🇹🇭. Vipassana immersion. No phone, no talking, no contact with the outside world. Just silence.

I’m an SEO specialist I rank keywords at the top of Google and AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Manus and more. I mentor startups and international companies, and I teach people how to build a nomadic lifestyle with their feet on the ground no romantic BS. This life’s beautiful, but it takes guts (and money in the bank).

I don’t sell the dream of working with a laptop on the beach. What I share is freedom with strategy, comfort with consistency. Real bourgeois nomad life — with planning, smart routes, good coffee, great parties, strong connections, epic spots and, of course, solid Wi-Fi.

This whole “hardcore backpacker” thing living off struggle and stolen Wi-Fi that’s not my vibe. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m not the right person to guide you.

But if you want to build a life on the move without giving up brains, comfort, and the epic experiences this lifestyle can bring…Then yeah, we should definitely talk.

I run a podcast called Vida NĂ´made / Papo NĂ´madewhere I talk to travelers about real stuff. Zero filters.

Adventurer, marketer, writer, educator, Buddhist, content creator, part-time influencer, barstool philosopher, speaker, wanderer. Pick your label. Doesn’t matter the order.

At the end of the day, labels don’t really matter. I just want to keep moving inside and out. And if I can, show the way to others who want to move too.

Be a nomad not a tourist. By Augusto Spineli
