My guest today is Loni James, a writer, storyteller and adventurer. She quit her job almost 1 year ago and started traveling full-time. She decided to go on a date in every country as a way to meet people and learn about local cultures. She accidentally started writing about it, created a blog and now she's planning to write a book full of her stories and everything she's learning along the way. On top of dating, she also goes on a hike in every country and this has been a unique way to experience the beauty of these places she's dreamed of for so long. Loni's story has also recently been featured on CNN and Good Morning America. Want to learn more about Loni?

Get ready to be inspired by my guest Cindy Sheahan! In 2017, Cindy realized she wasn't getting any younger, the time was right and, "if not now, when?" so she quit her perfectly good job, packed a backpack and headed out the door alone to explore. Five plus years later, she's been to 38 countries - mostly solo - such as Turkey, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Georgia, France, Italy and North Macedonia. She's visited over 400 cities and towns, countless hostels and homestays, hikes and treks all over the world including the Portuguese Camino. Along the way she's flown in a hot air balloon over Cappadocia Turkey, was a caretaker at a haunted villa in Tuscany, paraglided over burial sites in Madagascar, worked in a vineyard in New Zealand...and met a French paraglider on Tinder while in Nepal trekking, with whom she's traveled to 6 continents. Cindy moved to Portugal in October of 2022 and is living in Porto...for now. She's written for a women's travel group called She Hit Refresh, been featured in The Points Guy and the New York Times, and has been a panelist on a Digital Nomad online summit, and just recently, as a "Move to Portugal" expert in an online seminar by International Living. She has 4 amazing grown kids and one grandson, with another grandbaby on the way - they all live in Colorado and support, admire and join her when able to - and they are her biggest cheerleaders in this crazy adventure.
