Courage inspired Jacob Morris to make a change from his steady but traditional corporate track. After several longer trips and work abroad experiences, he gains the momentum to make the move to a less certain, but more self-directed, approach to his life and work.
He shares his journey trying to figure out how to maneuver (several times) out of his corporate job to pursue a more travel-centered and independent life, as well as pivoting to a more geographically flexible career. His past travels in Amsterdam and Bangkok prepared him for this next stage in life.
Episode Highlights:
– The 2 key questions to ask if you’re wanting a big life change through travel (and his full post on key questions to ask)
– Working through the common fears and doubts to travel for an extended time
– How working abroad can often enables even more frequent travel opportunities and exploration
– How to recon your next destination
– Getting off autopilot through mindfulness
– The difference between a Tourist & Education Visa
– How to live like a local in Bangkok and Amsterdam
– How to manage (ironically) the freedom and flexibility of NOT currently having a job
