Do you ever dream about living a life of full-time travel but wish you knew where to start?
Today I am joined by the founder of The Nomad Experiment and my dear friend, Jason Robinson, who at age 39 had only seen 2 countries outside the United States. After a few years and a lot of trial and error, Jason published his first book, The Beginner Traveler's Guide To Going Nomad.
If you are thinking about becoming fully nomadic or have curiosity about long-term travel then you don't want to miss this episode. We cover tips and strategies to help you get started, why tough love is crucial to success, traveling with autoimmune disease, and so much more.
What are your travel goals for the upcoming year? I'd love to hear all about them and hope you will share by sending me an audio message.
Don't forget that if you want access to the private Zero To Travel podcast feed, a bonus episode every month (decided on by YOU), exclusive content, direct access to me to answer your questions, and more. Check out Zero To Travel Premium Passport.
