Had a zoom call from a beach in Costa Rica that totally backfired

I was talking to a client from a coworking space in Tamarindo last week, trying to look professional with the ocean in the background, but a howler monkey started screaming so loud he thought I was at a zoo. He laughed and said 'maybe you should just tell people you're working from a jungle instead of a beach' and it made me realize how much we all try to fake this perfect digital nomad image. Has anyone else had a moment where the reality of this lifestyle just completely broke through the Instagram version?

Oh man, I totally used to buy into that whole polished digital nomad thing too, lol. But hearing how that monkey just wrecked your professional vibe honestly made me rethink it.

Wait, a monkey actually got into your stuff during a video call?
