As I sat there on my 25th Birthday, one year ago today, I had the harsh realization that I had nothing in my life that I truly valued anymore. I found myself with the smallest social life I had ever had, no hobbies because I was picking up too many waitressing shifts to pay for the absurd rent, and living in a city that I felt no connection to. I made a promise to myself that day that by the time I turned 26 years old - my life would be completely different...

My name is Sydney Halajian, and I am 25 years old. Currently, I'm sitting at a small wooden table on one of three foldable chairs, on a balcony that's only halfway painted. Earlier today, I had the privilege of putting rocks and rubble into bags for 5 hours, with the love of my life, and 18 stranger...

Podcast Episode 5 : Olivia Rides Her Bike Across Two Continents SOLO - Out now on all streaming platforms!

We met Olivia not even 1 hour before filming this podcast. She strolled into the hostel we were working at in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, on her bicycle, covered in dirt and ready for a hearty meal. She asked if she could eat dinner with us, during which we learned she had been riding her bike all the way from Patagonia, Argentina, 8,000 miles south, all by herself. Her goal is to make it all the way back up to her hometown, Boulder, Colorado.

Immediately, our jaws dropped as we heard the crazy stories she had - so much so, we had to ask her to be a guest on the podcast. I never dreamed she would make the time, considering she left for her next destination at 6 AM the next morning. She graciously agreed in exchange for a couple of beers. Olivia has 4,000 miles left in her journey - that being said, she's been living off of her own personal savings throughout this adventure that has now been a year and 4 months long. As you can probably guess, funds are running dry. If you're able and interested in supporting her incredible adventure, please take a look at her Patreon for a monthly subscription or make a one-time donation on her Venmo (both linked below). She also has a personal blog you can subscribe to keep up with her journey!

Read our new travel update here: I can’t believe I’m saying this so early but I’m exhausted…

I genuinely cannot believe I have to say this so early on, but I'm exhausted. I knew that travel was challenging from previous experience, but it almost feels as if something is pushing me in the opposite direction. And when you feel this way, it's difficult to feel inspired to create moving content...

Check out our new blog post on full-time travel on a budget! Through this piece, I give a more honest review of the upsides and challenges of this lifestyle. From the extreme highs of self-realization to the lows of isolation and sometimes fear. Do you think its worth it?

We've all seen the glossy, idealized portrayal of full-time travel from certain influencers. While I adore the lifestyle it offers, I'm committed to honesty and transparency in the community we're building. Social media often presents curated images that don't reflect the full reality, especially in...
