- Hello!
Thank you for coming back to my channel! In today's video, I share an update on where I am currently living & talk about the things that I did to prepare for traveling abroad for 5 months. More specifically, I talk about what I did to prepare mentally, financially, and logistically. This is not the blueprint for all, and as I look back I would definitely do some things differently but I hope that by sharing my strategies, others will feel inspired to do something like this in their lifetime. Let me know your thoughts.

I'm curious, where would you go if you could travel anywhere in the world for 5 months?
I kinda did the same thing however my boss was super amazing and still let me stay employed/prn while I traveled ! I also moved back home right before I left. Went to Asia for three months- best thing ever. No regrets! Cool to see someone else do something similar!!! 🎉 ❤
Hi! I love that you did the same! That is so nice of your employer too! & I agree, It was one of the best experiences of my life. Planning to get back out there again? ;) haha thanks for watching!
I loved Vietnam so much so I will def be back hopefully in the next couple years :)
Hello Sister. Nice to meet you. Nice sharing. Sending suport from Indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩
