Carles told Paulina to stop adapting her life to her work and instead design her life first.
Carles Navarro, hosting from Costa Rica, interviews Paulina Germán, who is currently in Poland. Carles recalls meeting Paulina at a book presentation in Barcelona after COVID, where she worked in digital marketing for a multinational agency and dreamed of traveling. Paulina postponed her plans for three years, even after a promotion, until Carles advised her to design her life first, not adapt her life to work. She then saved 10,000 euros, planned for six months of travel, and left her job on August 31. Paulina sold her furniture via Wallapop, stored belongings with friends across Spain, and started traveling on September 25 to Mexico. She initially struggled with a backpacker mindset, moving every five days and staying in hostels, which was exhausting. Paulina later settled in Holbox, Mexico, and Palomino, Colombia, preferring private rooms and co-living spaces for stability. She pursued a coaching master's online while traveling but didn't generate income from coaching. After six months, with savings dwindling, she returned to Madrid in March and secured freelance work in paid media marketing, working four hours daily remotely. Paulina then traveled to France, the Azores, and plans to return to Latin America after Christmas. She values flexibility, local cultural immersion, and the support of the Alternatribu community, where she now contributes by teaching personal development. The episode concludes with advice for listeners seeking similar lifestyle changes.
