Traveling Towards Wealth
Welcome to Traveling Towards Wealth—the podcast where money meets adventure and freedom is always on the horizon.
I’m Sarah Jones: financial coach, full-time traveler, houseplant lover, sourdough baker, and your guide to building a life that’s as rich in experiences as it is in peace of mind.
Each month, we dive deep into a new theme—whether it’s real money stories, the ins and outs of full-time travel, building a business on the road, or finding wellness and simplicity wherever you are. Here, you’ll get practical tips, honest conversations, and a gentle push to spend, save, and live according to your values—not someone else’s rules.
