In the latest episode of The We Are Innovation Podcast, host Federico Fernández welcomed María Alejandra Londoño (COL) to explore the Digital Nomad Tax Freedom Index. As Research Lead at Liberty International and head of their Training Department, María Alejandra brought her finance expertise and seven years of business advisory experience to the conversation.
The discussion revealed findings about top destinations like Ecuador and Malta, examining what made these countries attractive to remote workers beyond tax rates. She broke down the methodology behind the index while addressing the relationship between libertarian tax principles and practical governance requirements.
The conversation highlighted digital nomad behavior patterns, particularly the preference for informal arrangements. This insight carried implications for countries developing nomad-friendly policies and sparked discussion about the future of digital nomad legislation.
As a finance and international trade graduate who has facilitated international events across multiple continents, María Alejandra offered perspective on how tax policies might evolve as digital nomadism moves from a niche lifestyle to a mainstream work arrangement. Her work at Liberty International focuses on building communities and conducting research on global mobility, lending practical context to the theoretical aspects of the index.
The episode provided context for understanding the intersection of taxation, global mobility, and economic freedom, offering value for digital nomads, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of work.
