How To Take An Adult Gap Year w/ Brooke Thayer Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

How many times have you thought of quitting your job to travel the world?

Have you given thought to taking an adult gap year?

What is the biggest piece that is holding you back from it?

Brooke Thayer quit her six-figure job in San Francisco at the age of 34 to travel solo for one year, an adult gap year if you will. Brooke is sharing her adventures (especially during COVID), tips & tricks, and how you can make this a reality for yourself and your situation.

While this may seem like just a dream to many, it is possible, attainable, and, maybe, one of the best decisions you can make for your life and future. Learning and growing doesn't have to only happen while you are between four walls (ahem...cubicle).

What were your thoughts on an adult gap year prior to this episode and how have they changed? Will you be planning an adult gap year for yourself soon? Share your thoughts by sending me an audio message.

7 Best Places To Live Abroad w/ Tim Leffel Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

Have you always dreamed of living abroad? What is your biggest hurdle (besides finances)?

I'm always so excited when my good friend, Tim Leffel, agrees to come back on and talk about all things ex-pat and today does not disappoint. We are getting into the nuances of living abroad, how moving overseas can dramatically change your day to day life, the financial impact of moving abroad, how moving abroad can give you more freedoms to create, Tim's best advice for finding a place that matches your interests, and who this isn't for.
