In this episode, I’m joined by Conor Walsh, a lifelong explorer originally from a small town in Ireland. Conor has been traveling the world since 2011, visiting over 40 countries and spending the last several years based in Africa. In this episode, we dive into how travel has evolved over the past 15 years, from the rise of technology and content creation making travel more accessible yet, in some ways, less spontaneous, to the impact of over tourism and how to move through the world in a more intentional, thoughtful way.

We also get personal—talking about using travel as a coping mechanism, the hard truth that you can’t outrun your shadows, and the courage it takes to be still and confront the challenges you’ve been avoiding. Plus, we discuss sober living, how sobriety has completely reshaped both of our travel experiences, and what it means to experience the world with clarity and presence.

So, if you’re looking for raw, honest insights on how to make travel meaningful, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling, you're going to love this episode!

In this episode, we’ll dive into how solo travel can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. We’ll explore the challenges of imposter syndrome, how pushing through the discomfort can prove to yourself that you’re capable of doing hard things, and why trying on different versions of yourself throughout your lifetime is essential.

We also talk about how solo travel impacts your self-reliance, problem-solving skills, and self-confidence, and the ways it has helped me personally in mitigating codependent tendencies. We’ll even touch on how we are each navigating relationships on and off the road, how Dianni is incorporating queerness and the queer community into her travels, and how her travel style has evolved—especially when it comes to the differences between hostels and co-living spaces.

For this week’s episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with someone whom I now consider a dear friend and a mentor, Matt Bowles. Matt is just an incredible human with this palpable love for his fellow human beings and a deep passion for social justice and equality.

Matt also hosts a podcast, The Maverick Show, which has over 300 episodes featuring in-depth interviews with world travelers, digital nomads, and location-independent entrepreneurs. The show highlights how he and his guests navigate the world through immersive cultural experiences, while also providing personal and professional insights on entrepreneurship, travel, and remote work.

A defining element of the Maverick show is its focus on social justice, which Matt incorporates through his own background as a political activist and co-founder of a socially-conscious, fully remote real estate brokerage. The conversations often delve into topics of racial justice, economic inequality, and the political implications of travel. These discussions provide historical context by addressing the impact of colonialism, global power dynamics, and systemic inequities in different regions.

So we get into some of that in our conversation, as well. We talk about the responsibilities that come with being a global traveler, such as the importance of educating yourself on the social, political, and economic histories of the places you’re visiting and some practical tips you can use to become a more conscious traveler.

We talk about Matt’s pivot from a career in the nonprofit sector to cofounding a fully remote real estate brokerage firm, Maverick Investor Group and some of the specifics on building a fully remote business in a traditionally location dependent space.

Matt has now been fully location-independent for over 10 years, so we talk about stability anchors and his advice on how to maintain an organized, consistent schedule in an ever changing, dynamic environment- as is the case for most digital nomads.

And so much more!

Bridging the gap between solo and group travel, Remiah seeks to inspire other women of color to explore the world.

She’s hosting a group trip to Egypt this December, so December 2024 where traverlers can come together to explore Cairo, Luxor, and more! Of course, I’ll link to everything in the show notes so you can check out the details on that- but right now there is still an early bird discount- so if you’re interested, make sure you take advantage of that limited time deal!

We get into:

• Remiah’s passion for teaching and some of the perks of teaching abroad, specifically in the UAE, what the requirements and application process look like, and how she’s able to work a ton of travel into her busy, demanding schedule
• Some of the differences in solo and group travel
• A few of Remiah’s favorite underrated places around the world

We also get really honest about the time and energy commitment that side hustles, passion projects, and starting businesses while still working full-time actually take and some of the challenges we each have and continue to face in navigating and balancing life, work, and travel.

We talk about the importance of getting specific on your goals and vision and directing your energy and passion in a more focused, strategic, and purposeful way.

As well as, the importance of honoring what feels safe and secure for you financially while you’re trying to build a business or pursue other means of generating revenue than your current employment.

We get into her journey of taking an adult gap year, and then actually using that as spring board into a location-independent lifestyle; some interesting avenues Janessa took in her pursuit to continue financing life abroad before settling into the digital nomad space.

We talk about the ability to utilize online resources in order to effectively teach yourself new skills to open the door to potential opportunities that maybe you haven’t thought of, that can help you create the lifestyle you desire.

We also get into some things to consider if you’re thinking about starting a podcast, what the process looks like, and some of the challenges we’ve each experienced along the way.

We talk about the importance of community, finding your tribe of like-minded people who get what you’re trying to accomplish and the lifestyle you’re creating, and how to build and maintain those meaningful relationships on-the-road, as well as co-living, remote year, and other options for sharing space, expenses, and experiences with like-minded adventurers during your travels.

As you can guess, we get into solo travel and the importance of building self-confidence to mitigate some of the loneliness and other potential downsides or challenges to the solo nomadic lifestyle.

We talk about Intuitive travel, which Mickelle defines as recognizing what your body is telling you and actually paying attention and listening to your gut instincts and getting quiet enough so that you can really hear how your intuition is trying to guide you, as well as mindset hacking or questioning and even challenging your beliefs and gaining a deeper understanding of why you think the way you do and which of your beliefs may not actually be true and could be limiting your potential.

We discuss Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa and all the perks of Mickelle’s homebase setup in Valencia, Spain, solo-road-tripping around New Zealand, and Mickelle’s expert advice for a Spain and Protugal trip- YES, I selfishly asked for her tips for my own travel plans and she absolutely delivered, so if you’ve ever thought about traveling to either or both of those places, you’re at the right place.

Starting her location-independent journey in 2018, she learned the hard way that you need to listen to your body and underwent a transformative period of inner work when Human Design crossed her path.

With her Human Design embodiment workshops, coaching programs, and her podcast "Travel & Work with Human Design," she empowers fellow entrepreneurs with a holistic approach that intertwines health, mindset, inner work and business strategy in the creation of a stress-free lifestyle.

We get into her introduction to the digital nomad lifestyle and some of the ups and downs she’s experienced along her journey. We talk about Human Design and how exploring your chart can help you identify your strengths and ultimately better align with your authenticity and make for an enhanced experience in travel, business, and life, as well as the self-development process we each focus on in our personal lives and in our businesses, and the importance of making small changes in the pursuit of self-discovery and a greater sense of self-reliance and self-trust.
