Author: Kristin Wilson | Traveling with Kristin February 20, 2024 Duration: 1:44:55

Throwback to one of Kristin's favorite podcast interviews with Nick Fabbri and Terysa Vanderloo of the YouTube channel, Sailing Ruby Rose.

 

In this podcast, they share how they quit their medical jobs in London to sail the world and what they've learned from three years at sea.

 

They talk about overcoming burnout and how they've been able to find more connection, community, and balance in their freedom-filled lifestyles.

 

They also describe the many cool features of their sailboats, the highs and lows of living life on the sea, detoxing from social media, and the lessons they've learned while exploring the globe. 

 

Listen now to find the courage it takes to step outside of your comfort zone, take risks, and learn new skills to support yourself from anywhere. Plus, how to fund your travels while sailing full-time.

There's a certain rhythm to building a life that isn't tied to a single address, and that's the beat Traveling with Kristin moves to. Hosted by Kristin Wilson, a veteran digital nomad who has been navigating the world as an entrepreneur for years, this podcast feels like a series of candid conversations with a friend who's already figured out a lot of the logistics so you don't have to. Each episode digs into the practicalities and the personal shifts that come with choosing a borderless existence. You'll hear honest discussions about the financial realities of retiring abroad, the unexpected challenges of working from a new time zone every few months, and the cultural nuances that you only learn by being there. It's not just about destination highlights; it's about the mindset and the mechanics of designing a sustainable international lifestyle. Kristin brings a grounded perspective, stripping away the glossy social media filter to talk about what global living actually requires-from visas and banking to building community and maintaining relationships on the road. If you're contemplating a permanent move overseas or simply want to weave more extended travel into your remote work, this podcast serves as an essential, deeply relatable guide. Tune in for a mix of solo reflections, interviews with others who've made the leap, and actionable advice that makes the world feel a little more accessible and your dreams a lot more possible.
