Rhiannon Cook has visited 15 countries while working remotely in marketing over the last five years.
Cook, who most recently worked from a tiny Italian town, likes programs catering to digital nomads.
She talked to Insider about her adventures abroad, including what she's learned to do and not to do.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Rhiannon Cook, 34, about her experience working as a digital nomad abroad.

She most recently lived in the 2,600-person town of Santa Fiora, Italy, for a month via a digital-nomad program called Kino that aims to bring remote workers to towns "off the radar for most people."
