#31 Traveling the World as a Professional Travel Writer with Elizabeth Lavis

On episode 31 of The Move Abroad Coach Podcast, Elizabeth Lavis joins us to talk about her experience of being a traveling writer and how she made that work when she decided that it was time to leave her hometown of Buffalo, NY. At 35 years old, Elizabeth decided that life was simply too short to not do what we wanted to do — so she moved abroad!

How did she land freelance gigs? What about figuring out those next steps? Tune in to today’s episode to learn exactly what she did.
