In this episode of the Expat Empire Podcast, we will be hearing from Ülane Vilumets. Ülane is from Estonia and created her first company in the country when she was 23 years old. She was building her Baltic tours and travel platform businesses for several years before the pandemic hit and she had to think about what she wanted to do next. With her love for international travel and meeting people from around the world, it was a perfect fit for her to start working for the Estonian government to promote the e-Residency program.
Estonia’s e-Residency program is an excellent way for location-independent entrepreneurs to run their businesses digitally from anywhere in the world. With full access to the EU market and everything managed completely online, it is one of the top choices for business owners who want to run a company while traveling the world.
