  • Ep. 35 - Planning Full-Time Travel in 2026? Start With This Year-End Mindset Shift
    Dec 23 2025

    If you're thinking about full-time travel in 2026, but feeling uncertain, tired, or unsure where to begin, this episode is for you.

    This isn't a how-to or a checklist. It's a gentle year-end reflection for anyone who's been dreaming about the full-time travel lifestyle and wondering whether it's still possible for them.

    In this episode, I talk about

    • What full-time travel actually asks of you (beyond money and logistics)

    • Why you don't need a perfect plan to start traveling full-time

    • The mindset shifts that matter most for full-time travel in midlife

    • How to release pressure around "making 2026 the year"

    • A calmer, more sustainable way to approach full-time travel planning


    If you've been carrying this dream quietly, or putting it off for "someday", I hope this episode helps you reconnect with what you really want as you head into the new year.
