·1 hr 15 min·5 clips

Julie quit her job, sold everything, and embarked on a one-way world trip after a severe burnout diagnosis.

The episode is an interview between host Sebastian Canaves and guest Julie Thomas, a passionate traveler. Julie explains how extensive travel since childhood, inspired by her mother, shaped her life. She details her burnout experience: working excessively until friends and family intervened, leading to a doctor's diagnosis and three months of sick leave. After returning to work briefly, she quit, planned financially, and embarked on a one-way world trip. Her itinerary included Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, Canada, Fiji, Indonesia, Singapore, and New Zealand. Key hardships included a severe two-week food poisoning in Colombia requiring hospital visits and contracting COVID-19 in Mexico. A pivotal moment occurred during a four-week sailing trip in Fiji, where she overcame interpersonal conflict, realizing her regained strength post-burnout. The journey culminated in her decision to become self-employed as a travel designer, sparked by a conversation in New Zealand. She now creates personalized travel booklets and plans for clients, leveraging her global network. The episode also touches on themes like the importance of travel insurance, cultural kindness, and the value of travel for personal growth. Sebastian occasionally interjects with related travel anecdotes and questions about logistics and emotions.
