Have you ever thought about walking around the world? Famed traveler Tom Turcich shares his experience of walking around the world for seven years and the transformative impact it had on his life. He discusses the serendipitous moments and the challenges he faced during his journey, highlighting the importance of putting yourself out into the world to allow for interesting things to happen. Tom emphasizes the value of travel in expanding your understanding of the world and yourself, and the need to embrace discomfort and inconvenience for personal growth. He also reflects on the differences in community and public spaces between countries and the isolation that can be felt in Western societies. Tom also talks about the challenges and rewards of walking with his dog, Savannah, and the bond they developed. He reflects on the dangers and safety precautions during his walk, as well as the cultural and language barriers he encountered. Find out more about Tom's journey in his new book, The World Walk, out today! "You just cannot control everything...You're not going to make it perfect the first time." - Tom Turcich What You'll Learn: How the unexpected experiences of travel can transform your life. Why discomfort and inconvenience during travel are essential for personal growth. How travel expands your understanding of the world and promotes critical thinking about your home own country. Cultural Differences: how Western societies prioritize efficiency and isolation, while other countries prioritize community and public spaces. How cultural and language barriers can be overcome through open-mindedness, patience, and the use of translation tools like Google Translate. But is it safe?

Did you know you can vote for abroad, even if you're just traveling or on vacation? Your vote counts, even if you're not physically present during the U.S. elections this year.
Although U.S. citizens living or slow traveling abroad make up the 10th-11th largest state in the country, only 3-8% of them vote (compared with 66% living at home). Let's change that this year!

How would you like to get access to a global social safety net on the internet, complete with a “digital country”, with its own passport, tax system, retirement pension, healthcare, and visa access to foreign countries?
The co-founders of SafetyWing have big plans, including Plumia, an internet country founded on who you are and what you believe, rather than where you’re from.
Plumia’s current focus is unlocking borders and expanding global mobility rights to as many people as possible. First up is the Nomad Border Pass, which will provide visa-free travel for up to 10+ countries (as early as 2025).
Then, the Plumia digital passport is on the way, with an anticipated launch date of 2032.
In this episode of the Traveling with Kristin podcast, Kristin Wilson chats with the Executive Director of Plumia, Lauren Razavi, to tell us all about their plan. Lauren is a technologist, political scientist, and global citizen who’s been working remotely since 2010 and nomading since 2013.
Tune in to learn about the new digital country that’s taking the internet by storm, and how you can be a part of it right now!

The number of U.S. expats living abroad is equivalent to being the 11th-largest state in the country. But barely 4% of us turn out to vote! Expats have the lowest voter turnout of any demographic in the United States - lower than high school students - and the same phenomena is probably happening in every country. If you're living outside of your home country right now (or planning to move abroad someday), this episode is a must-listen!
Tune in to hear from Nicole Greenfield, aka The Nomad Activist, a digital nomad and political activist who reached out to Kristin to speak about this topic and how we can change it.
Your vote matters. If every American expat voted, we would easily change the outcomes of current and future elections.
Vote absentee, vote early, and spread the word to your expat friends! Let’s make a change!

Why the US media doesn’t talk about expats not voting. Why it’s still important to vote if you live abroad. How politics impact travel and digital nomads. The #1 easiest way to vote from abroad. How digital nomads and expats can get involved and spread the word about voting.Questions Answered:
What got you into political activism? How do you practice activism as a full-time digital nomad? Are American expats more liberal/Democrat or conservative/Republican? What are the easiest ways to vote from abroad? Can expats really sway election outcomes? How do you balance being a traveler and digital nomad who also wants to make a difference in the US?Episode Resources:

Since then, house sitting has taken her all over the world, including Vancouver Island and the mountains of Switzerland, two notoriously expensive destinations.
If Nicole can do it, you can, too! Tune in to learn all her tips and tricks for becoming a house sitter and saving money on travel.
