Emily Lewis: First steps into Nomadtopia
September 30, 2015 | Podcast
When a friend invited Emily to travel with her in Paris for a month, Emily decided to take it to the next level. A location-independent lifestyle had been on Emily’s mind for years, and she took this invitation as a sign to finally take the plunge. She joined me from Paris where her nomadic adventure is off to a magnifique start.
