It's been a little while since the last episode, about 2 months actually and I'm running out of money. So, I've changed my plans again. This episode is an update on what's been going on and what's next. A little less scripted than previously but I think it went pretty alright anyway.

The other day I had a call with my old boss from back when I was a consultant. We still have a really good relationship and the talk reminded me of something I had forgotten.

Most of us has seen them on Instagram, the collaborations with the text “sponsored/ad” plastered all over them. It can be products, clothes, hotels or something else but the essence is that the person advertising has received something, usually in exchange for the product or stay and sometimes even paid.
In this episode I share how I go about collaborating with hotels, why and also provide a behind the scenes as to what it's actually like and how much work it can be. Something you don't necessarily think of when you see the nice pictures and videos on Instagram.

It's not always as glorious as it looks on the outside... In this episode, I share my first short low period of travelling full time.
It has been a lot of fun for the first 1,5 months. A lot of new friends and experiences and with that, I've definitely been living the good life in a new lifestyle.
However, a time came to say goodbye and having been social 24/7 for 5 weeks suddenly turned into being all alone again... I promised myself to document the low points as well, so here's a short, unscripted talk about how I felt when I had been alone for a couple of days, sitting in a hut by myself in a rainy location.

In this episode I touch upon the downs that I have experienced so far. It is not because there has been a lot but I also know how much social media is often portraying a perfect life and how travelling the world may mostly just sound like a dream. I haven't started travelling yet but as I get closer and closer to my departure date I can also feel waves of doubt come rushing in sometimes.
This is a shorter episode but one of the reasons I started this podcast - to share both the ups and downs - as the title states.
