Last Day Of A Travel Contract + Getting Ready For Kilimanjaro

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446036/fan_mail/new] If you’re interested in joining our FREE live travel training, you can grab your spot here: SIGN UP FOR TRAVEL EVENT HERE [https://www.travsessed.com/travel-training] In this week’s episode, we talk about the fact that tomorrow is Erran’s last day at his longest travel contract ever and what it feels like transitioning into PRN life after being in a long-term assignment for so long. We also talk all about gearing up for Mount Kilimanjaro, which will officially be the highest elevation and hardest hike we’ve ever done. We get into the excitement, the nerves, and honestly the stress of trying to get packed and organized for a trip like this — especially when we have super limited weight restrictions and still somehow feel like we need to bring everything 😅 We also talk about one of the things we love most about these kinds of trips — the type of people they bring together. The people who are drawn to experiences like this usually value growth, challenge, pushing themselves outside their comfort zones, connection, adventure, and really experiencing life fully. And honestly, there’s something really special about the contrast of a trip like this — going from hiking through gritty conditions with no showers, no Wi-Fi, no electricity, bathroom tents, and being completely unplugged… to then celebrating afterward in a luxury glamping camp in the Serengeti and staying at an incredible five-star resort. There’s just something so rewarding about doing something really hard and then fully enjoying and appreciating the comfort, celebration, and fun afterward. Overall, this episode is just a really honest conversation about travel, challenge, growth, transitions, adventure, and everything we’re feeling heading into this next season.

Things We Tried That Failed Epically, Why We’ll Unexpectedly Both Be in Florida at the Same Time, & It's Safe to Change Your Mind About Anything

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446036/fan_mail/new] On today’s episode, we’re talking about all the things we’ve tried over the years that failed… epically 😂 As we’re coming up on 10 years of entrepreneurship, we realized just how many times we’ve put ourselves out there, tried something new, announced big plans, pivoted directions, changed our minds, or had things completely not work out the way we expected. And honestly- that’s just part of the process. We talk about why it’s safe to change your mind about anything at any time, why pivoting isn’t failure, and how trying new things inevitably means some of them won’t work out — and that’s okay.  Sometimes things flop. Sometimes they evolve into something even better than you imagined. And sometimes you realize you want something completely different than what you originally thought. But if you’re never changing, pivoting, or reevaluating… you’re probably not really putting yourself out there or trying anything new. We also talk about the random fact that we’re both unexpectedly going to be in Florida on the exact same weekend…and we won't be seeing each other at all 😂 This episode is honest, reflective, chaotic in the best way, and full of reminders that life doesn’t have to look linear to still be working out.

Erran is officially in single digits of finishing his contract here in Colorado and transitioning into PRN, which is a huge shift for us. We talk through that decision, what led us here, the journey behind it, and how we’re both feeling stepping into this next phase. We’ve also been “home” for the past seven months—our longest stretch in one place in the last 14 years. It’s been really grounding and honestly so nice to be settled… but if you know us, you know travel is in our blood. And we are sooooo ready to go!!  We’re itching to get on a plane and head somewhere new. We also break down what the rest of our travel year looks like (which feels a little wild but so exciting), including gearing up for our next big adventure—heading to Tanzania to hike Mount Kilimanjaro.

When the Honeymoon Phase Ends on Assignment and Reality Kicks In: The Reminder Every Traveler Needs

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446036/fan_mail/new] We’re talking about something that’s been coming up for us lately—this idea of “beginner’s energy” as a traveler. You know that feeling when you start a new contract? It can be a little nerve-wracking, but it’s also fun, new, and full of possibility. There’s a lightness to it. You’re there to help, make good money, learn, and then move on. You’re not wrapped up in the politics, the PTO drama, or all the day-to-day stuff that can make full-time jobs feel heavy. This topic has been on our minds especially lately because Erran is coming up on a year at the same facility, and we’ve been chatting about how different it feels when that newness starts to wear off.  You begin to see more of the day-to-day realities, the decisions, the dynamics, and the things that start to feel heavier when you’re there long enough to really be in the trenches of it ALL!!  It’s been a really good reminder of how unique the traveler perspective is.  No matter if a department is tough, super busy, or not the best fit, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. You're contract will be up and you will be able to to move on when you are ready.  In this episode, we also talk about: * Why going into each contract with a fresh perspective matters * Why you shouldn’t rely on other people’s opinions about a facility * How to protect your energy in tough or busy work environments * The #1 thing we’ve done that’s helped us have better experiences on every assignment If you’re a traveler—or thinking about becoming one—this is a real, honest conversation about how to keep your energy clean, stay focused on why you’re there, and make the most of this lifestyle.

Why We’ll Never Have a Six Pack: Finding Balance Between Fitness, Travel, and Actually Enjoying Life

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446036/fan_mail/new] After 14 years of traveling full-time, we’ve learned a lot about trying to stay healthy while constantly being on the move—and it’s not always easy. In this episode, we talk about the real challenges of balancing routine, fitness, travel, and actually enjoying life (because we’re definitely not skipping the food or the wine).

We also get honest about what’s worked for us, what we still struggle with, and how we’re thinking about health as we move into our 40s and want to feel our absolute best.
