Ep 201: Finding a Forever Home Abroad with Vanessa Jacquemin

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finding a forever home certainly isn’t a priority for all nomads. While some are on an intentional search, others actively spurn the idea of home—or they end up finding it when they least expect it and a location they visit just suddenly clicks. As I always say, there’s no one way to approach the nomad journey.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, I’m chatting with Vanessa Jacquemin, an online business strategist who left her original home in the United States more than 20 years ago and recently found her forever home in Mexico. She shares her process for finding the right home for her, how becoming a mother shifted her point of view, and her advice for others wanting to embark on a nomadic journey. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Vanessa’s history of traveling and living nomadically from age 21, and how she has now found her forever home in Mexico</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What Vanessa considered when looking for a forever home and how living multiple places helped influence her decision</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Her experience as a Black person living in Mexico</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Vanessa’s thoughts on the best way to set yourself up to be able to move abroad</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How becoming a mother shifted her perspective on what to look for in a place to call home</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The importance of making a change, even a small one, towards living your happiness</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For full show notes, resources, and links go to</span> <a href= "http://www.n
