This week on the podcast we’re joined by Annette and Daniel Fortner from Chase for Adventure. In 2018 Annette and Daniel decided they needed a big life change, so they sold their stuff, quit their jobs, and booked one-way flights to Thailand. Since then they’ve been all over Asia and the world, documenting it all along the way on YouTube.
We dive into the decision to travel, to start a YouTube channel, and a lot more.
What we talk about in this episode:
- How battling with depression led to the decision to quit management jobs and travel
- How they decided they wanted to leave
- The fear and uncertainty that comes from making a big life change without a solid plan in place
- How Annette and Daniel decided where to start their trip (Thailand)
- How your relationships at home change when you’re traveling all the time
- How friends and family reacted when they found out about the plan to quit careers and travel
- What was the start of their time traveling like?
- Finding a balance between rest and adventure as a digital nomad
- Finding encouragement when you’re starting out as a content creator
- Why now is the best time to start the project you’ve been thinking about starting (whether it is a blog, YouTube channel, business, etc.)
- A quick overview of Daniel and Annette’s adventure from starting in Thailand, then to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, then to Australia for 4 months, before returning home to the U.S., then Cuba, England, Thailand, Vietnam, and finally the Philippines.
- What made the biggest difference in the change in happiness between traveling and their life before.
- And much more… Here’s the episode!
