Today, I speak to Jessica about how she accomplished her incredible goal of traveling to every country in the world. I ask her about the important lessons she’s learned about life from her experiences, how she manages her fears, and how the pandemic changed her business and life. Jessica also shares how she became a “digital nomad” in a time when working remotely wasn’t a known option.
We also dive into a conversation about writing, specifically what the process of writing her book was like. And of course, I couldn’t leave a conversation with Jessica without asking her about the countries that surprised her, countries with the best food, and countries with the nicest people.
