In this conversation, I am joined by Magi. Magi is an avid traveler, photographer, and, more recently, digital nomad. As travel opened up this year and through conversations with like-minded travelers on the app Clubhouse, the idea of becoming a digital nomad began to take shape. One of the silver linings of the last year is that the world is more accepting of such a hybrid lifestyle. We cover Magi's most recent adventure of a month-long solo backpacking trip to Costa Rica!

Stephanie Garcia on Hostels, Travel and Connection

Jun 3, 2021

My guest, today on the podcast is Stephanie Garcia. Stephanie is a traveler who found herself working and living in a hostel in London for three years alongside this. She has spent a lot of her time teaching children and showing them there's more to life than books.

In this conversation, Steph and I really dive into her travels and the most important one being, or the focal point, the hostel, because from my own experience, the hostel really doesn't have a large play in what I thought about it. I hadn't realized how many different variations on a hostel there could be, and also around the stigma of it.

For someone like Steph, who basically said I'm going to live here and work here for three years, it is one of those moments that really shape and define how you view the world. Especially as someone who's grown and lived in a grown-up and lived in an area that is roughly where I've always lived, is it seems so out of the ordinary. We get into other stories that Steph finds meaningful throughout the conversation, from favorite travel places to stories.

Alex Ivy and Jordan Criss on Taking the Leap into the Unknown

Sep 11, 2020

Today on the podcast. I am joined by two of my returning guests and closest friends. Jordan Criss and Alex Ivy. And the reason I have them on the podcast today was pretty special to me. Jordan and Alex, at the time of this recording, are now living in LA. And this conversation took place roughly three weeks ago. As they were packing up to leave and we covered that.

But the whole point was I'm assuming many of you just had a wait, what, why would you leave right now? And that's the whole point. Because in the pandemic, the idea of moving sounds insane. But. The idea of moving at any point in your life, making a big drastic change. Be it a job. Be it a relationship, be it moving to a new place. Why now? Is always the question.

And the answer to that should be, why not?
