Query:
As a contributing writer for Business Insider, I'm looking to
feature someone who has been a financially successful (at least
6 figures) digital nomad -- defined as someone who uses
technologies to earn a living and often works remotely from
foreign countries, coffee shops, public libraries, co-working
spaces, or recreational vehicles -- and is sticking with their
way of working despite the global pandemic. While many would
find this lifestyle is trickier to maintain and/or less
appealing given that working in these types of public spaces
and/or traveling abroad to work in foreign locations isn't as
safe or easy during the COVID-19 era, this piece will feature
someone who is continuing to do it and is still making good
money, on track for 6 figures this year.

For consideration, please send details about how you are making
this lifestyle work, where you are working, and your projected
income for 2020 as a digital nomad.

hustle than you did at your full-time job, I'd love to hear
about what you are doing now.

Query:
I'm researching a story about young drivers and car insurance.
I'm interested in how Gen Z and Millennials view car insurance.
I'd love to hear from younger drivers on this topic. What are
your expectations, when it comes to auto insurance? Do the
newest insuretech products, which allow you to purchase and file
claims from a mobile device, speak to you? What attitudes toward
auto insurance are no longer relevant, in your opinion? I'm also
interested in hearing from insurance experts on this topic. Are
there any recent studies or polls that explore the differences
between generations, when it comes to auto insurance? What kind
of buying advice do you have for a younger driver looking for
insurance? Are there any products that you would recommend (or
not recommend)?

I'm working on a story about ways to speed up your home
insurance claim. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had a
claim processed quickly. What kind of claim was it? How fast did
it get processed? Were you surprised by the speed? From home
insurance experts, I'd love to know what's going on behind the

What are the benefits to insurance companies -- and to
customers? What is considered "fast" by today's standards, and
what is the goal?
