Do you ever wonder whether the idea of long-term travel or the nomadic lifestyle matches up to the reality of it?

This is another episode in my Transition to Travel series where I interview someone before they head off to travel and catch up with them months later to see how it panned out!

In today's audio journey, I'm joined by my friend, Maxwell Lee. During the first part of this episode, you'll learn why they decided to travel through the US and Mexico and move to Taiwan. You'll hear about their anxieties going into the trip and how they've been preparing for this huge life change. We'll then fast-forward to almost a year later and talk about their experience with being a nomadic family and what it was like to settle down in Taiwan. 

What fears can you tackle first to build momentum toward your travel goals? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.

Are you considering a trip to Eastern Europe?

For this week's episode, I'm pulling one of my favorite shows from the archive!

Francis Tapon has a travel resume that inspires all of us to get out there and explore. He is the author of many renowned books, is an avid backpacker and slow travel junkie, and someone who has never owned a television, couch, bed, or spaceship (and is most disappointed about the last one).

In this episode, we dive into Eastern Europe, the beautiful benefits of slow travel, and why connecting with locals (not your phone) is so important to your overall experience.

What hidden spots have you added to your list? I'd love for you to share them by sending me an audio message.
