🎙️ This week’s podcast highlight
Being Your Own Boss: The Reality No One Tells You. The Digital Nomad Freelance Life | Ep 22
Being your own boss as a digital nomad sounds amazing until you realise there's no one to celebrate your wins with, guilt follows you everywhere, and you're working evenings and weekends without even noticing.
After 6+ years of freelancing while travelling, I'm breaking down what self-employment actually feels like: the freedom, the loneliness, the constant pressure, and why I'd still do it all over again.
Curious? Check it out now! 💕✨

Wondering what gear/products I use while travelling?
🌱 Tools, apps & other
AirlineMeals - Oke this is a bit useless, not gonna lie, but it made me laugh. The internet's most unhinged database, 53,880 photos of airline food LOL. It’s very strange haha. People have been photographing and rating their in-flight meals since 2001.. Look up your airline before you fly so you know if you're getting an actual meal or a sad little cracker haha.

Sleeping in Airports - the guide for when your layover turns into a sleepover..
Airport-by-airport reviews from actual travellers who slept there (or tried to..). Best benches, hidden nap zones, and which lounges you can buy your way into. Bookmark it before your next 14-hour layover ruins your life!
