Season 3 is all about travel jobs, but this term has several connotations. Travel jobs can move you to new places, they can be seasonal roles in cool places with an off season that allows you to travel freely, or they can be positions that require travel as part of the gig. There are so many possibilities out there so this season is meant to give you some ideas and inspiration if you want to travel more but feel like those two weeks of annual vacation are your only chance (they're not!)

My guest today is Loni James, a writer, storyteller and adventurer. She quit her job almost 1 year ago and started traveling full-time. She decided to go on a date in every country as a way to meet people and learn about local cultures. She accidentally started writing about it, created a blog and now she's planning to write a book full of her stories and everything she's learning along the way. On top of dating, she also goes on a hike in every country and this has been a unique way to experience the beauty of these places she's dreamed of for so long.

Loni's story has also recently been featured on CNN and Good Morning America.

As the host of this podcast, I dedicated this episode to sharing my story with an emphasis on the two career breaks I have taken. I touch on:

• My background in Chemical and Biomolecular engineering
• My job in the oil field
• The burnout
• My exit
• My trip around the world
• My re-entry into the workforce and transition to a completely new industry
• My minor identity crisis and short-lived return to the world of engineering
• Career Break #2

At this point, I have experienced a very non-linear career. I have an unwavering belief that life is meant to be lived and the world is meant to be explored. My career breaks were the necessary stepping stones for me to rediscover myself and my passions and to open my eyes to the travel possibilities that are available in this world.

In this episode, I continue my personal story from Season 1 and share all about the remote jobs I've held over the course of my travels. There were reasons they worked at the time and reasons I needed to move on from them. Remote jobs can be tricky in the sense that they seem ideal. Any job that is remote and allows you to travel sounds SO exciting, but that isn't reality. When the grandeur of landing the remote job wears off, you are stuck with a job that could potentially be unfulfilling if you didn't approach your job search mindfully (something we talk about at length in my upcoming course: Remote Work and How to Find It...join the waitlist below)

Interested in a cool travel job at sea? Today I am talking yacht life with my guest Janessa Klatt.

Janessa is a Canadian who has always had a desire for adventure. From studying abroad in Australia, backpacking solo in Europe, driving across the country alone for a job, and moving to a new country with just a carry-on, yachting seemed like the perfect new challenge for her. This might have sounded CRAZY for a girl who grew up completely land-locked, but she navigated the pandemic and fought gender stereotypes to land her first job as a deckhand. Since then she has been paid to travel the world by boat, rent-free! It is definitely not a glamorous lifestyle.

In this episode we talk all about the ups and downs plus how you could get started too.
