Hooper269 ,

Really fun and informative!!

I’ve loved listening to to all of Katie’s insights and I’ve already implemented a lot of her tips into my travel. Really thoughtful, funny, and heartfelt podcast.

Madison Mama ,

Not just for travelers!

This podcast is awesome! I’m not a digital nomad but I am a human yearning to make more meaningful connections with others and the world around me. Katie’s easy-going banter and heartfelt sentiments make you feel like you’re sitting at her table sharing stories and the beans she’s hopefully not burning.

Katie’s insight is unique and relatable and I can’t wait to hear what else she has to say about living life abroad and growing deeper in our own identities.

Ellen SP ,

Real, fun, and inspiring!

I love getting to hang out with Katie Katie J as she shares openly about her travels, thoughts, and experiences!

Her encouragement and insights make me feel like I could make my dream of incorporating travel into my work a reality!
