In this Valentines Day episode I talk to my favourite Digital Nomad couple, Dan from England and Saterra from Canada (SandyFeetMessyHair on IG). Hear the hilarious story of how they met by chance, the spark that wouldn't die between them, the long-distance love and finally booking the one way ticket to Bangkok with nothing but hope and full hearts. They share their process of how they quit 9 to 5 to travel the world while working to cover their expenses, and build their passion project. This episode is full of laughter, incredible stories and wisdom. If you listen to one episode only, this is it.

We talk to Gabrielle & Abhi, two brand new digital nomads. These ex-9-5'ers left the hamster wheel in exchange for a year of wandering the world and working along the way. Hear their entire journey: how they planned to quit their 9 to 5's, how they replaced their day job income and what their first month on the road in Medellin, Colombia has been like. This is a lesson in overcoming fear and living life to its fullest extent without breaking the bank. I'm sure you'll enjoy this story, from these two great guests.
