On this episode of 'the Nostalgic Vagabond' podcast, I talk with Catie.
Catie is a very optimistic and adventurous student undertaking a Ba Arts at the University of Nevada. As well as working towards her degree Catie is an entrepreneur and recently started an online business. The self-proclaimed "risk-taker" of the family.
At only 23, and while studying, Catie has managed to save a bit of money and travelled internationally to 12 different countries so far, all over the world. Her passion has been found in travel.
In conversation, Catie and I discuss how young Americans view international travel (6:20) as she reflects on her initial trip to Spain on a study program (10:00). We also talk about those life-altering experiences and witnessing moments that shift original perspectives on the world, one's home, and one's self. Is travel addictive? We talk about that too. (18:30)
Catie is very committed to sticking to her travel budgets and is generous enough to share some tips (22:30) here especially when it comes to things like ticketing, eating, and sleeping (27:50). We talk about the idea of solo travel (35:30) and whether it's your bag (or not) but more importantly how travelling might improve you, (39:40) if you let it.
Catie has a podcast called, 'Let's Travel Baby' (48:50) where she shares her unique experiences and gives away tips on travelling within a tight budget...
Enjoy.
