Aspiring to explore the world, whether it be for vacation or long-term? Today, we share how to make it happen. I'm joined by my dear friend and fellow global backpacker, Carey Carpenter, otherwise known as CareBear Abroad.

I chat with Carey about the lessons, triumphs and challenges of life as a female nomad.
