In today’s episode, we’ve got the amazing Calen Otto back with us to dive into the super cool world of vegan travel. Calen, a queer, anti-speciesist travel blogger and author of The Art of Unruly Travel on a Budget, is here to share their experiences and give us some really practical tips on how to keep up with a vegan lifestyle while traveling and exploring different cultures.
We’ll be talking about how cultural practices and ethics can sometimes collide, the role of plant-based foods in different places, and how to explain your dietary choices without making it awkward. Calen’s stories—from wild adventures in Ecuador to finding surprising vegan eats in meat-heavy countries like Colombia—show how important it is to stay true to your values, even when you’re stepping into totally new environments.
So, grab your headphones and get comfy because we’re about to have an enlightening convo that shows you don’t have to give up your ethics to explore the world!

Upwork and Fiverr can be great starting points for new freelancers, but they’re often OVERRUN with people all bidding for the same jobs. It can leave you feeling frustrated and stuck, wondering why you’re not making progress. But don’t worry! In this episode, I’m sharing four alternative platforms you can start using today to find freelance clients—no need to pay for bids on Upwork!
Where to Find Freelance Clients:
Bonus Platform (bc ily): Ilovecreatives.com

This week I'm resharing part two of my guest appearance on The Maverick Show with Matt Bowles.
The Maverick Show is all about real, in-depth chats with some of the most interesting world travelers, digital nomads, and location-independent entrepreneurs. Matt Bowles travels the globe full-time, meeting fascinating people, uncovering stories of their wildest adventures, and breaking down the skills, tactics, and strategies they use to build remote businesses and design their lifestyles.
