We often dream of starting over in a new country or city — leaving everything behind and becoming someone entirely different. But does changing your location really change who you are? Or do your fears, habits, and hidden parts find their way into your new life anyway?

This episode explores the illusion of clean slates, the layered self that travels with us, and the quiet grief of outgrowing places that once felt like home. It’s about the stories we tell ourselves when we move, the parts we try to shed, and the versions of us that only certain places allow to surface.

🎧 If you’ve ever hoped that a plane ticket could rewrite your story, this one’s for you.

Russel flies solo in Episode 17 while Eliza’s off exploring Portugal—and he’s got thoughts. Big ones. This week, we dive into the messy, magical, and often heartbreaking world of springtime travel romance. Why do we fall so hard, so fast when we’re far from home? Why do April flings feel like love stories, even when they barely last a week? And most importantly… what do they leave behind when they end?

From spontaneous kisses under cherry blossoms to ghostings that hit harder than your return flight, this episode explores the beauty of the brief and the weight of being seen—if only for a moment.

🎧  If you’ve ever met someone on the road and felt something that lingered longer than they did, this one’s for you.

You've seen the photos—laptops on beaches, meetings from mountaintops, and a life lived out of suitcases. But what happens when the dream of working from anywhere becomes a trap of constant motion, disconnection, and quiet burnout?

In this episode of TripplCast, Eliza and Russel are joined by Daniel, a remote worker from the U.S. who spent over three years living the digital nomad life across 20+ countries. Together, they peel back the glossy layers of #WorkFromAnywhere and reveal the emotional, logistical, and psychological weight behind the lifestyle.

From vanishing routines and rootless friendships to visa stress, identity shifts, and the myth of “finding yourself” through travel—this episode asks the harder questions about what we’re really chasing when we chase freedom.

🎧 A must-listen for anyone dreaming of remote life abroad—or already living it.
