Hi Out Of Office Crew! 🩷
I cannot tell you how excited i am for tomorrow! I finally go travel again, yayyyy! First stop: Barcelona, Spain. Afterwards i’ll travel to Greece and then i’ll spend two months in France. Now that i think about it, its actually quite rare for me to have planned it all this far in advance haha, but this time it just made sense! Of course i’ll take you all with me on my trips and give you all my insights, mistakes, thoughts and travel updates hehe.
I will be back in the Netherlands though for christmas as i do enjoy spending the holidays at home. But as always, it’s another week, another list of things i think you guys will find fun and interesting! Lets gooo
Skip to the good part:
🎙️This weeks podcast
After last week’s live event i was so so inspired. I absolutely loved talking to everyone who joined and i was surprised by some of the questions i got. One of the main one being: “how do i choose what to do?” . Many people have so many interests and skills, plus there are so many possibilities out there. It can be tough to pick. In my latest podcast i tell you exactly how i recommend to pick your path as a freelancer. But i also discuss my route to where i am now and how i lost 80% of my clients not long ago. Listen now!
☀️Travel deals & Inspiration
Let’s see what i found for you this week 👀
I generally research my flights using Google Flights. Jut easy, straightforward, and then i book the flight on the airline’s website directly. Did you see that they just came out with FLIGHT DEALS? A new AI search engine that helps you find flight deals for the kind of trip you want? It’s officially only available in the US, Canada and India, but you can access it easily if you use a VPN. 😌 I’ve been messing around with it and so far i’m a fan.
A couple years ago i did an overlanding trip with Dragoman through patagonia (Chile & Argentina) and i absolutely loved it. The combination of a roadtrip, with camping, a small group, and quite a bit of hiking (unfortunately for me) was absolutely amazing and i still recommend anyone to try a trip with them as they offer tours all over the world! (not sponsored) .
🌱Tools, apps & other
If you are traveling soon i highly recommend checking out UMI for your data needs! They are so so easy to instal, plus you only need 1 Esim. Just 1 esim on which you can load any data plan. I used to have to download a new one everytime i got to a new country which was quite annoying tbh.
Did you see this free app called Focus Friend? You need to help this bean with his knitting and the way to do that is to not use your phone. Made me laugh when i saw it hahhaa, great for anyone who want to spend less time on their phone or finally finish that one task (talking to myself).
👩🏼💻Remote jobs & more
Also this week i found some interesting jobs / travel opportunities!
This beautiful sunset from the beach in the Netherlands!
Was i on a date? Yes.
Have I booked another Worldpackers trip…? Maybe…
lol
Now i have to go pack! I always leave this till the last minute which might not be very smart hahah. Do you do this too?
When do you pack? 😅✈️
And again, if you are still looking for something fun to do in September, consider joining me at the coliving in Greece. They still have some spots left! Check out Tursi coliving here.
Thank you for reading!
Talk soon 🩷✨
