Leaving A Comfortable Life For Travel w/ Cassie And Nate

Published: Aug. 31, 2021, 10 a.m.

Are you hesitant to leave your comfortable life for full-time travel? What exactly stands in the way between you and a life filled with adventure and self-discovery? 

Native Nomad Life creators, Cassie and Nate tell us how their transition to full-time travel eventually lead them to immerse themselves into native cultures, settling down part-time in Merida Mexico, and becoming professional storytellers. 

If you want more information about what it’s like to travel the world and set up a home base in a new country, as well as some great insight about life as a world traveler, you don’t want to miss this episode. 

What is one small step you can take towards a bigger (and perhaps overwhelming) goal? I would love to hear more and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
