Listeners of Freedom In Scrubs Podcast that love the show mention: travelers, love your energy, traveling, healthcare, even if you're, i'm also, choice, freedom, thanks so much, love these guys, career, earth, motivating, starting, relationship, great listen, raw, journey, fun to listen, helped.
The Freedom In Scrubs Podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in the travel world or working in healthcare. As a full-timer with dreams of entering the travel world, this podcast provides valuable insight and a sense of community that is hard to find elsewhere. The hosts, Kim and Erran G, have a wealth of knowledge and experience as nomads on the road, and their conversations with each other as a couple are both entertaining and informative.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the wide range of topics covered. From travel stories to advice for healthcare travelers, there is something for everyone. The hosts do a wonderful job of giving advice and insight into the travel healthcare world, sharing their passions and goals in an relatable way. As someone who has been a healthcare traveler for several years, I can always relate to their experiences and feel inspired by their stories.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the authenticity and humor brought by Kim and Erran. They speak their minds on all things life-related, which can be refreshing in a world that often feels closed-minded. Their discussions on big life stuff make you feel like you're talking to friends, which is especially helpful if you don't have a close-knit friend group or other couples to discuss these topics with.
While there aren't many negative aspects to this podcast, one thing that could be improved upon is diving deeper into certain topics. For example, it would be great to hear more about how to jump into traveling for the first time or the logistics of finding housing while traveling. While they touch on these subjects briefly, more detailed information would be beneficial.
In conclusion, The Freedom In Scrubs Podcast is an incredibly valuable resource for anyone interested in travel or working in healthcare. With its mix of humor, insight, and practical tips, it provides a sense of community that is hard to find elsewhere. Kim and Erran are engaging hosts who share their experiences and adventures in a relatable way. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for inspiration, advice, or just an entertaining listen.
We've been on a nonstop rollercoaster of Do we want kids? Do we not want kids? for years! For the longest time, we were perfectly happy as just the two of us—soaking up the freedom of our travel lifestyle, building Travsessed, and pouring all our energy into our dreams.But as we get older, the question keeps coming up: Are we really sure about a kid-free life? Or is there a part of us that wants kids—and what would that even look like with our crazy travel adventures?In this episode, we dive into the heart of this debate, sharing stories we've never shared before. It turns out, we're not alone—so many couples and individuals we meet are navigating the same question. Both lifestyles come with their own set of pros and cons, and figuring it out is anything but simple.We're getting real about where we're at right now, how we're feeling about the future, and the possibilities we're exploring.

We are completely obsessed with Bali—this island holds our heart and soul! From the moment we first landed there 8 years ago, we were hooked. But with all the buzz, people often ask us: Is Bali overrun with influencers and tourists? Is it still worth it? Spoiler alert: We've got a lot to say about this!After a dozen visits and seeing how Bali has evolved, we've realized what makes this island truly special: the people, the culture, and the rich traditions that breathe life into every corner. If you don't take the time to immerse yourself in that, you're missing the magic entirely.In this episode, we share our honest thoughts on whether Bali is still worth visiting, along with personal stories and insider tips to help you experience the real Bali (and the surrounding areas).
