Quitting your job to travel the world sounds unrealistic… maybe even irresponsible. But what if it’s actually one of the most intentional financial decisions you can make?

Kesi Irvin walked away from a high-powered finance career in New York City after saving for two years to fund her dream of traveling the world.

What started as a round-the-world trip turned into more than a decade of long-term travel across 84 countries and completely reimagined her way of living, working, and earning.

We break down what it really takes to plan a round-the-world trip, including how much money you actually need, how to build a travel fund, and how to make money while traveling once your savings run out.

If you’ve ever wondered whether long-term travel is financially possible, this episode will show you how to start designing your own path.
