Road to Thriving: Recent Episodes
Claire Taylor
Have you ever wondered why there are so many guidebooks for travel, blogs on where to go and what to see, but there is no guide to thriving while living a travelling, alternative lifestyle?
Claire Taylor thought so too, and now she is on a mission to shine a light on what it takes to thrive in this alternative. On the road to thriving is a podcast that celebrates and demystifies the journey to thriving as a traveller.
It features a collection of honest, real and raw conversations with travellers and nomads, about their personal journeys to thriving in an alternative lifestyle. We will be covering topics from loneliness and community, ways to work online, health habits for a life on the go, finances, mental health, and so much more. In doing so, showing us that it is possible to thrive on the road less travelled.
Come join us, on the road to thriving!
Coming to you live this week from Chaing Mai in Thailand (birdsong, roosters, planes and all!) with my biweekly check-in about my journey to thriving in this strange globetrotting digital nomad lifestyle. Giving a few updates on our travels and something that I'm pondering after having travelled to over 5+ countries in the last few weeks.

Ever wondered what it would be like to travel the world in a single-engine plane?
Well, in today's episode, I sit down with Sam Porter – a 22-year-old private pilot from Vancouver, Canada, who has spent the last 8 months doing exactly that. Her family (@fly5inthesky) has set a massive goal of flying around the world in their single-engine GA8 AirVan, travelling to over 50 countries in 14 months.
In this episode, we dive into:
- A day in the life of travelling in a single-engine plane
- How to pack for a worldwide expedition (with only 9kg per person!)
- Sam shares some of her best and worst experiences from travelling to over 20 countries so far
- How to navigate medical emergencies as a full-time traveller ...and much more!
It is said that “less people have flown around the world in a single-engine plane than have summited mount Everest”, and it's hard to say if there even has been a family that has done it all together, completely VFR and with no autopilot.
Be sure to follow along the journey over at @fly5inthesky and you can connect with sam @samanthaporter

What do the 4-hour-work-week and AI have in common? Well, both have completely shifted my perspective on the traditional narrative around the 40-hour work week.

So I thought I would do a full episode on working on the road. Chatting about how I have started using AI, how I'm considering getting an assistant (as a low-income earner), my priorities for working on the road and more.

Internalized capitalism is a real thing, and learning, or rather, unlearning, those beliefs that unless we are productive, we aren’t worthy - is a huge part of why many choose to pursue a more nomadic or global lifestyle. In this episode I sit down with Carolyn Martin from @galaxy.tripping to chat all about her experience with taking the leap into travelling full time in her Toyota galaxy.
We talk about redefining the age-old question of ‘what do you do’ to be more than your job, and the identity crisis that came along with it. Whether your travelling full time trying to unlearn these systems for yourself, or working along the way and trying to cultivate a more healthy relationship with your work identity, this episode is for you!

Whether you are a traveller or a creator - chances are web 3 is on your radar. These borderless, decentralised platforms appear to go hand in hand with a travel lifestyle...but what exactly is web 3? how do we monetize this new world? and how will it impact the way we travel and work? These were all questions I set out to answer in this conversation with Amy Suto. Amy began her career as a Hollywood TV writer before jumping into the tech industry. Now, she is a six-figure freelance writer in web3, writing copy and narrative stories for innovative NFT, metaverse, and crypto-related projects. When she's not writing, Amy travels the world and works remotely from bakeries in Prague or coffee shops in Milan.

WE ARE BACK! and to kick things off I wanted to talk about... well, capitalism.
In this modern world, there are so many expectations for every moment of our lives to be profitable. But that's not what living on our own terms in a more alternative way of living is all about.
In this episode, I am sharing the story of what happened in the last few months, how I have been dealing with this internal battle, why I took a break and asking the question ... is it me or capitalism?
Income is important, but can the work we need to do be done in a way that doesn't rob us of our joy? can we live full lives outside of that, which serves only the purpose of loving our lives?
Let me know over on the road to thriving podcast!
