In this episode we speak with Daniela Carneiro from Portugal. Daniela left her job as an Environmental Engineer to follow her two passions; surfing and travel.

After going on a 7-month travel adventure she realised that she could not return to her old life. With her boyfriend Eduardo, they spent time travelling in a campervan and finding some great surf spots.

Whilst they were travelling, an idea developed for the Truck Surf Hotel; an amazing vehicle that converts into sleeping and living space which is now their full time business.

Daniela speaks all about her decision to leave her career, and how she now lives her passion every day.
