How To Find Balance in a Slow Travel Lifestyle While Working For Yourself with Chelsea Riffe
TITLE
“Now, I’ve finally figured out my pace of travel after A LOT of trial and error... I think now it’s probably 3-6 months in a place and then move to a new place... The one month and then picking up and going somewhere the next month was way too quick for me.”
Have you ever struggled with wanting to do "it all" when it comes to travel or living an overseas lifestyle, but feeling like you don't have time (or money) for everything? Do you want to quit your corporate job but aren't sure what you can do to earn an online income to replace your salary?
Today's guest, Chelsea Riffe, has been there, too. From being "so broke" that she was cleaning houses and scooping gelato in Australia to becoming a successful online business owner, she's been on quite the journey.
Today, she's the host of the "In My Non-Expert Opinion" podcast, which she runs alongside her consulting business while traveling the world full-time as a digital nomad.
In this episode, Chelsea shares her stories from the road, including how she's overcome her struggles to make money online and find balance in an international lifestyle.
