The Guidebook

Shelbi Polk left newspapers to nerd out about books


Listen Later

Shelbi is a freelance writer, book nerd, and world traveler. She’s traveled with friends and solo both internationally and around the US.

We talked for TWO HOURS, so I’ve split our casual conversation up into TWO episodes! The second episode will air next week.

In this episode, we talk about:  

  • How Shelbi got started freelancing
  • Our opinions on low-paying freelance work
  • What really gets our goat
  • How she budgets for travel (she visited 4 other countries this year and took 4 domestic trips too!)

  • On the next episode we take a deep dive into travel, budgeting, and her tips for freelancers who want to travel – you’re not going to want to miss it.
