In this episode, Drs. Fred and Riyad dive into the world of travel optometry—what it is, perks & challenges, and how to get started. Dr. Fred shares stories from practicing in rural Newfoundland and Manitoba, where eye care is often scarce but deeply impactful. From iceberg views on the way to clinic to unexpected emergencies, he reflects on how this career path reshaped his perspective on work and fulfillment.

We also introduce our new segment, Monday Fuel, where we share small but meaningful moments that help kickstart the week—from latte art to conversations with strangers.

Whether you’re an optometrist curious about travel work, a student exploring career options, or simply someone looking for inspiration on designing a meaningful career, this episode offers both practical insights and stories.
