    Thank you to Kiana for the 5-Star Review!
     
    I first started off by watching Kristin's youtube videos and later discovered the podcast. 
    As someone who is actively trying to move abroad (even just temporarily), I find the podcast very informative and entertaining. It's helped me to realize this dream of mine isn't that farfetched and totally doable. Keep up the great work Kristin!

    Sailing into the Unknown with Ruby Rose: Navigating Burnout & Mental Health in a Freedom Lifestyle

    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.

    TOPICS DISCUSSED/WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
    Why Nick and Terysa were drawn to the sailing lifestyle. How to overcome the lack of knowledge that holds people back from pursuing a nomadic lifestyle of full-time travel. The benefits and challenges of living on a sailboat. How society keeps us tethered to a certain work/life structure and what it takes to break free from the shackles of society. The defining characteristics it takes to step outside of your comfort zone and take risks. How to cope with experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness - even when you’re living a freedom lifestyle. The importance of staying in a country long enough to establish a community or friend circle and learn the local culture. What to do after the initial excitement of travel wears off.  How they learned how to make YouTube videos and how they come up with ideas for content. Their candid thoughts on quality vs. quantity when it comes to content creation. Why they transitioned from a monohull to a catamaran.  Where they’ve sailed so far and where they plan to travel next. Which countries have the cheapest mobile internet.  The near-death experience Kristin had on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico.  
    QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
    Why did you decide to quit your jobs to travel? How do you deal with being far away from friends and family? How did you learn your creative skills, like writing and making videos? How do you support yourselves financially? How do you find fast enough WiFi to work remotely from a boat? What advice would you give your past selves ten years ago? And much more!

Tips and stories you won’t hear anywhere else!!

Kristin and her guests are not only fascinating people, but very knowledgable and insightful about travel, business, and just life in general. Kristin is very real and authentic and it seems like she always strives to put her heart into every episode (and YouTube video!). Her effort has paid off for sure, this podcast is one of the best!!
