My First Ever Podcast Interview with ‘City Girl Talks’

Super excited to share that I’m on City Girl Talks Podcast with Yasmine from West Coast City Girl. Over the past couple of years, I’ve spent hours listening to inspiring podcasts, but I never in a million years thought I would be interviewed on one. I was so flattered when Yasmine asked me to be a guest on her Podcast, but also super nervous. I hoped my interview would be motivational and inspiring to others

Scroll down to the bottom of this post, to give it a listen!

My Experience on the City Girl Talks Podcast

Yasmine was super easy to chat with, and even though we’ve never met, I felt like I was just chatting with one of my good friends! The interview is filled with tons of stories, travel tips, and life lessons I’ve learned along the way. I know you guys will love it! In this podcast interview, I share my story, why I decided to quit my dream job to travel abroad with my boyfriend and the obstacles that have come up for us along the way, including COVID!

 TOPICS COVERED ON THE PODCAST

🎙 Travelling for 2 years straight

 🎙 What it’s like to work remote

 🎙 Relationship dynamics when travelling

 🎙 Getting stuck in Australia during COVID

 🎙 Landing my dream job at Contiki

 🎙 Following your dreams even when people tell you not to

Why You Should Listen
