About this episode

Liz Long shares her journey from a traditional career to becoming a full-time traveler, emphasizing the importance of building a life you love.

Liz Long didn’t set out to become a full-time traveler. After graduating college and starting a publishing career in Boston, she found herself burned out, anxious, and questioning the version of success she had been chasing. What started with pet sitting and budget travel eventually turned into a lifestyle built around freedom, wellness, meaningful relationships, and intentional living. Since then, Liz has traveled across more than 25 countries while finding creative ways to make long-term travel financially sustainable. In this episode, we talk about the realities of solo travel, loneliness, money, community, wellness, and what it actually takes to build a life you genuinely love instead of waiting for “someday.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/globetrotters-podcast--5023679/support .
