I invited my friend Jill Sessa back to interview me on my experiences as a nomad.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we talk about how my Nomadtopia has changed since Jill last interviewed me in 2018. I share what’s new and upcoming in my work as well as how my lifestyle and my perspective on location independence has evolved over the years, especially since our twins were born in 2019. We also discuss some of the more challenging aspects of navigating life and family as a nomad.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> In this episode:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What location independence means to me</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How having kids makes being a nomad and planning adventures a different experience</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The effects of the pandemic on nomadic life (for me personally and in general)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What my local community is like and how I’m approaching schooling for my kids</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How the future plans we’re considering are different from the way we’ve approached traveling and living abroad in the past</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How we settled into a groove of working and spending time with our kids, and how things shifted when they started school</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What’s new and exciting in the Nomadtopia Collective, a
