Using travel to escape yourself is easy but it won't heal you. In this episode I met up with my Swedish friend Arvin at the beach in Da Nang. He went from solo traveling to settling down in Da Nang for a while to rest and heal.

We talk about:

  • using travel to escape yourself without realizing it
  • what solo travel forces you to face when you're isolated and alone
  • why meditation retreats and healing routines can become another form of avoidance
  • how traveling can become too intense
  • healing away from home versus healing back home
  • why a lower cost of living abroad gives you more time to actually heal
  • putting down boundaries as a digital nomad without feeling like a bad person


Hi, I'm Ebba. The host of Being a Lot podcast. I'm a mental health survivor who decided to leave everything behind to start the digital nomad life. I started this podcast to open up the conversation about how to become a digital nomad and how to navigate nomad life when you are or have been struggling with your mental health.
