Essentials of mindful & meaningful travel with Erica Boucher (E45) Artwork

From Sumplace New: The Long-Term Travel Podcast

Curious about international travel? Want to leave everything behind and become a digital nomad? We — Karen and Jon Sumple — did just that, leaving the USA in July 2018, and our open-ended, long-term travel journey has taken us through Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina Scotland and, now, South Africa. We enjoy living "Sumplace New" every few months because it provides perspective, awareness and understanding. We meet amazing people and witness how they live, work and play. We visit well-known destinations and wander roads less traveled to see where they lead. So why and how are we doing this? What are the obstacles, frustrations and lessons learned? The highlights and insights gleaned from living abroad, yet living locally? Listen in as we share all this and more. We continually challenge ourselves to "do the new" — and we encourage you to do the same, whether it's close to home or the other side of the world.

Erica Boucher is an author, counselor, yoga instructor, retreat leader and world traveler, and we're happy to call her a friend of the show! Episode 45 is chock full of travel wisdom, common sense, ah-ha insights and guiding mantras. We delve into:

the explorer/traveler vs. the vacationer mindset
what it means to be in the moment when traveling
adopting the mantra of "no matter what happens it's all part of the adventure"
embracing the awkwardness of travel
understanding that life shows up and always has your back during the challenging moments
how to co-create the life you want to live
a traveler mindset is a sustainable mindset
how to shift from a vacation mentality to being a global citizen
the importance of creating a vision of the life you want
why travel feeds a thirst for living

We're already living a work-from-anywhere, onward-travel lifestyle and we were truly inspired by Erica's insight and passion for living a life of travel. You will be, too!
