Embark with us as we traverse the globe alongside our very special guest, Kristin Wilson from "Traveling with Kristin" ( YouTube and website),  a sage of the location independent lifestyle, who brings her tales of surf, soil, and soul-searching to our ears. Her voice, a beacon for wanderers, guides us through the intricate dance of life as a digital nomad. From the rush of catching waves in faraway waters to the entrepreneurial spirit that drove her to establish a relocation company, Kristin's journey is a testament to the allure and practicalities of a borderless existence. She shares her treasure trove of experiences, having set foot in 63 countries, and imparts wisdom on embracing the vibrant tapestry of cultures that has fashioned her path. Our discussion meanders through the lives of audacious expatriates, who have woven their homes within the rich fabric of unfamiliar cultures. We celebrate the courage and adaptability of those who have opted for the road less traveled, whether a Midwestern family's rebirth in Costa Rica or a tech-savvy wanderer's leap from Austin to Budapest's embrace. By sharing compelling anecdotes of life abroad, we unveil both the challenges and triumphs of establishing roots in distant lands. The concept of slow travel emerges as a golden thread throughout, a narrative of individuals opting for a pace that allows deeper connections and more sustainable living. We round off our globe-trotting session with a mindful gaze at the footprints we leave behind. Sustainable travel isn't just a buzzword—it's a practice that threads through our discussions, from supporting local entrepreneurs to choosing genuine experiences that echo the heartbeat of a place. As we anticipate embarking on a group voyage through the historic allure of Portugal, we reflect on past escapades and the vision of a life lived across a mosaic of global destinations. With the promise of sharing not only the waves we crave but also the resources for listeners to chart their own courses as digital nomads, this episode is a compass pointing towards a world of discovery and responsible adventure.
