She also talks about how to make more thoughtful economic, environmental, and cultural choices while traveling. Beth reflects on a major travel lesson she learned in an Istanbul barbershop and offers some tips on navigating relationships with loved ones who haven’t had the same transformative travel experiences that you have. She also explains why travel doesn’t automatically make you a more enlightened person. Finally, Beth gives tips on finding travel experiences wherever you are and how we can be at home wherever we find ourselves. FULL SHOW NOTES WITH LINKS TO EVERYTHING DISCUSSED ARE AVAILABLE HERE. ____________________________________ See my Top 10 Apps For Digital Nomads See my Top 10 Books For Digital Nomads See my 7 Keys For Building A Remote Business (Even in a space that’s not traditionally virtual) Watch my Video Training on Stylish Minimalist Packing so you can join #TeamCarryOn  See the Travel Gear I Use and Recommend See How I Produce The Maverick Show Podcast (The equipment, services & vendors I use) ____________________________________ ENJOYING THE SHOW?
