Mariza Monteiro is the Founder of RevMachine.ai, where AI automation and smart systems transform sales into profit engines. An MBA graduate with Fortune 50 roots, she left corporate life behind to become a digital nomad, scaling e-commerce and digital ventures to millions worldwide.
In this episode of Nomads 50+, host Chris Kalaboukis talks with Mariza , who has spent the last decade living as a digital nomad. Her journey began as an expat in Brazil and evolved into a fully location-independent lifestyle, long before remote work was widely accepted.
Mariza shares how she overcame the early skepticism she faced when leaving the U.S.—concerns about healthcare, safety, and infrastructure—and how she discovered that life abroad often meant lower costs and a higher quality of living.
Her career path as a nomad is equally inspiring. From launching a podcast production company, to building an immigration consulting business focused on Spanish entrepreneur visas, to running a successful e-commerce venture selling saunas during the pandemic, Mariza has consistently reinvented herself. Now, she’s embracing AI to streamline sales and marketing, and she encourages others—especially those over 50—not to fear the technology but to use it as a powerful tool.
We also talk about the personal side of nomad life, including the logistics of traveling with a pet, choosing the right destinations, and why flexibility and open-mindedness are the keys to thriving. Mariza’s advice for aspiring nomads is simple but powerful: start small with a 2–4 week trip, stay long enough to adapt, and let the experience guide your next steps.
If you’re curious about building a sustainable digital nomad lifestyle, especially later in life, Mariza’s story offers a blend of practical wisdom, entrepreneurial creativity, and encouragement to keep evolving.
