The Life You Inherited (And Never Actually Chose) | S2 Ep 01

Solo Travel at 19: She Hid It From Her Family for a Year | 2.09

She started solo backpacking at 19 and didn't tell her family for an entire year. I sit down with Le, a Chinese travel content creator and digital nomad. We talk solo travel, digital nomad life, how she landed her first brand collaborations at 19, and what it's actually like to build an income across 41 countries and counting by age 22.

Taiwan Travel Guide: What I Wish I Knew Before I Went (After 1 Month)

I just spent a month in Taiwan teaching English through a work exchange. Here's everything I wish I'd known before I arrived!

I Asked Myself Hard Questions About My Travel | 2.07

I got a comment calling me out for exploitation, taking jobs from locals. In this episode, I talk honestly about the impact digital nomads and travellers have on local communities, what I actually do about it, and whether any of it makes a real difference. I don't have a clean answer. But I think not asking the question is worse.

How I Actually Decide Where to Go Next (No Plan, No System) | Ep 2.06

Everyone asks me how I decide where to go next. After ten years of solo travel and two and a half years as a full-time digital nomad, the honest answer is: there's no system. In this episode I break down what actually goes into my decisions, the practical things I check before booking, why I keep returning to the same places, and what I'd tell anyone who has no idea where to start!

Taiwan for Free: What a Real Work Exchange Day Looks Like | Ep 2.05

I found a listing on Worldpackers (here is the discount [https://www.worldpackers.com/promo/TALKSOON?utm_campaign=TALKSOON&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=affiliate]) two months ago, applied, bought a flight, and now I'm living in Taiwan for a month teaching English to kids in exchange for free accommodation. In this episode I break down exactly what a work exchange is, what my day actually looks like here in Taiwan, and whether it's worth doing as a digital nomad with remote work on the side. I've done three of these now across Taiwan, Italy and Poland, so I've got a clear picture of what works and what to look for before you book. If you're trying to travel longer without burning through savings, this one's worth your time.
