Hi Out Of Office Crew! 🩷
Welcome baaack! This week i don’t really have a fun personal update. I’m still doing my work exchange in the south of Italy, spending my days working (a lot 🥹) and in the evening working in the hotel/restaurant. So looong days, but they are fun and very productive. Plus, it’s getting cold here, so i don’t mind being inside more 😌
2,5 more week here till i go back to the Netherlands for the holidays (and actually might take a 1-2 week break from podcasting… or maybe not! I’ll think about and let you know 💕. And for those who missed it, in January I’m travelling to Thailand, so you’ve got great content from Asia waiting for you!
Now.. this week i found lots of good deals as its almost black friday.. so let’s get into it!

How I Actually Afford Full-Time Travel: The Honest Numbers Behind My Digital Nomad Life | 26
Episode 26 is liveeee. A long title, I know. But a super interesting and relevant topic, I think! In another (messy) podcast, I talk about how I actually afford this lifestyle. Some of you might not know, but i earn my income from my work as a freelance brand designer (not social media, and definitely not this newsletter or podcast haha) . So if you’ve been curious about the costs of being a digital nomad, give the latest episode a listen!

Also this week i found some interesting job opportunities!
And finally, I am looking for a video editor who could help me create a really cool end-of-the-year video - think a cool cinematic recap of the year video! Let me know if you are that person, or if you know someone (it’s paid, of course). ✨✨
Did i kick my Italian date’s ass in pool last weekend? Of course 🤓
This is where i’ll be spending the next 3 weeks thank you. I’m not made for the cold weather..
That is itttt. Hope you enjoyed it! Don’t spend all your money during Black Friday, haha. And don’t forget, next week Tuesday is apparently Travel Tuesday! On this day, there should be even more and better travel deals, so keep an eye out for that!
Happy shopping (;
