The Weird Years

117 Countries, Zero Offices with Tess Pollard: "Travel Was the Catalyst for Going Freelance"


Listen Later

What if you’re not lost, you’re just meant to roam?


This week, I’m joined by my vivacious friend, fashion & travel writer and digital nomad Tess Pollard, who’s built a career across 117 countries, no office required. Tess didn’t go freelance to become a #girlboss; she did it because the idea of four weeks’ holiday a year was holding her back from her true calling.


We get into what it really means to build a life around freedom, why constant travel isn’t always glamorous, the tension between movement and milestones, and why living out of a backpack is far less romantic than it sounds (spoiler: she hates it).


If you’ve ever felt like life is nudging you to go, but fear, full calendars, or five-year plans are holding you back, this one’s for you.
