Hello fellow nomads (or nomad-curious)! This week we're diving into the ups and downs of long, slow travel, the FIRE movement, maintaining independence, boundaries, and routine while on the road full-time with a partner, and SO MUCH MORE with Helen Schuckers.

Helen is a full-time traveler and avid photographer who inspires others to explore the outdoors. She left her 9-to-5 job in January 2023 to hike and travel the world and she documents her adventures on her YouTube channel, Helen and Tim Travel.

Helen’s financial independence over the past five years have enabled her to take a 1- to 2-year career break to explore the world, entrepreneurship, and business opportunities. She has practiced lifestyle design since her early 20s and has had a variety of unconventional careers, including as an actress, videographer, six-figure business owner, campaign manager, and podcast developer, and she is currently working on a new business project to increase accessibility of surfing for Women of Color.
