From Brooklyn Roots to a Global Career
Shlomo Kubitshuk has built a career that bridges his Brooklyn home base with work experiences across the world. As a digital nomad and remote work leader, he has proven that productivity and adaptability are more important than location.
“Brooklyn taught me how to focus in the middle of noise,” Shlomo says. That skill became the foundation of his work style. He learned early to concentrate in small apartments, crowded cafés, and bustling streets. Those lessons followed him into every city where he has worked.
The First Leap Abroad
Shlomo’s first major move was a one-way trip to Bangkok. “I was scared,” he admits. “I didn’t know if I could keep up with my work in a new place.”
In Bangkok, he adjusted his schedule to match clients back in New York. That meant late nights and early mornings — but also quiet hours for exploring the city. “It was a new way of thinking about time,” he says.
This trip taught him that the key to remote work is mindset. “You adapt your day to the work, not the other way around.”
Keeping it Simple
While many rely on complex systems, Shlomo keeps his toolkit minimal. “I use a notebook, Google Calendar, and Notion,” he explains. For him, discipline matters more than tools.
His routine is constant: wake up, take a walk, get coffee, start work at the same time each day. “That routine works anywhere,” he says.
The Reality Behind the Image
Social media often shows Shlomo Kubitshuk working from rooftops or beaches. But he is quick to share the truth. “Most of my work happens indoors, just like anyone else’s,” he says. In Lisbon, he spent days exploring cobblestone streets but worked late into the night to meet deadlines.
“You have to remember — you’re working, not on holiday.”
Lessons from Every City
Each city has shaped Shlomo’s approach. In Mexico City, he discovered how to balance work with cultural experiences. “I’d work from a rooftop with views of the city, then grab tacos downstairs,” he says.
From Bangkok, he learned to embrace time zone differences as opportunities rather than obstacles. “You can design your day however you want.”
Honest About the Challenges
Shlomo Kubitshuk doesn’t shy away from the hard parts. “Loneliness is real,” he says. “You miss birthdays, family dinners, and moments with friends.”
Still, he values the freedom. “I get to see the world, meet new people, and learn from every place I visit.”
Advice for Aspiring Remote Leaders
Shlomo’s guidance is clear:
- Start small. “Work from a nearby city before going abroad.”
- Keep a home base. “Brooklyn keeps me grounded.”
- Set boundaries. “Clear work hours stop you from burning out.”
“You’re not escaping work,” he says. “You’re shaping your life around it.”
Why Shlomo’s Perspective Matters
In an era where remote work is becoming the norm, Shlomo Kubitshuk stands out for his honesty and practical approach. His story blends discipline, adaptability, and cultural curiosity — qualities that define leadership in the modern workplace.
“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where you are,” he says. “What matters is doing work that matters to you.”
