Two Paths to Location Independence and Travel (No Skills Required) With Caitlin Sunderland and Janessa Klatt

Want to kickstart your digital nomad adventure or work and travel on your own terms?

Janessa Klatt and Caitlin Sunderland are podcast managers and two of the core team members here at the Zero To Travel podcast. They’re with me today to share about the unique and nonlinear paths they took to achieve location independence and offer insights on how you can do the same.

Caitlin and Janessa share advice for pivoting into freelance work, whether you have the skillset or are starting from scratch. We talk about the mindset shifts necessary to be successful as a digital nomad and remote business owner and why having a community is essential. You’ll gain plenty of advice on freelancing best practices, setting boundaries with clients, confidently selling your services, and tons more.
