In this fantastic episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with epic world traveler, Nathan Blah. I first met Nathan as my work colleague at Positive Intelligence. For more than a year now, Nathan has been traveling the world as a digital nomad. Who better to talk to about all his pro tips including pet sitting for others via Trusted House Sitters and the minimum clothing needed to get it all down to one carry-on bag traveling the world.

I speak with Josianne Rob about planning our visit to Hong Kong and Vietnam. We discuss Hang Son Doong - The World’s Largest Cave and the week-long journey it takes to go through it with a guide. We also discuss WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) and the opportunity to work for awhile on a farm in exchange for room and board.

For March 31, 2025, Bill and Violet Carmody talk about Trans Day of Visibility and how we both are contributing to spread awareness of this important day. We hope you will join us in supporting transgender rights and help us grow awareness of trans people everywhere.

The hard thing about visiting 52 countries in a year is that most of them have specific Visa requirements -- including needing a full page to stamp your passport. When your default passport only has 25 pages, that's a problem. How did we solve it? Also, we talk about hitting up a travel expert for Mormon Missionaries who tend to be young adults traveling the world for 2 years with minimal luggage.

In episode 9, Violet and Bill Carmody chat about how we plan to make friends during our 52 weeks of travel. This includes tapping into our existing communities such as coaches, family and global friends as well as connection we've made along the way. Violet sees dancing it out in every city as a way to break the language barrier and connect with people her own age.

Bill and Violet Carmody wll be delivering a FREE event in Google Ireland on Friday, July 4, 2025 at 2pm. Registration details will be forthcoming. In the meantime, Violet and I talk through our mutual excitement to kick off our World Tour in this way.

Elena Carmody joins us on our World Tour for about 9 out of 52 weeks. She shares her experience and challenges with planning any travel, let alone a full year internationally.

In this episode, I take the opportunity to thank Peter, the founder of TravellersPoint.com for his amazing tool. You’ll see i’m currently using on my homepage so that I can share where Violet and I will be travelling (and when.

Without Peter’s tool, I was struggling to visually share where I would be in the world and when. This tool was first discovered by my travel agent and coaching friend, Kerrie Gordon. It changed everything. It’s allowed Kerrie to help me visually see where we’d be when, and easily adjust our travel plans as opportunities continue to arise.

In this episode, Violet and I discuss the things we'll be most homesick for as we travel around the world for 12 months out of the year. We also used ChatGPT to come up with a list of future episode topics.

Violet and I receive an abundance of support from our fellow coaches as we plan out our world tour.

Bill & Violet discuss the possibility of having a sponsor for our world tour and what that could me for us as we travel.

Bill & Violet discuss how we decided to travel the world together starting in July of 2025.
