Right in time for my birthday, I received a lovely email! Turns out Cooper and I have inspired the fab team at Freelancer Magazine with our podcast, Freedom and Four Paws 🐾

This means the world to us, because recording each episode was so motivating - our guests, all sourced from this community, had such powerful, wild and wise stories to tell about how they've made travel and remote work a full-time reality.

It's something we're passionate about sharing and discussing too, and we are excited that it resonates with so many people.

​

​

Freedom and Four Paws is named in honour of the freedom we in this travel-curious community seek, and the collective love of animals we share - many of us being house + pet sitters and/or pet parents. If you're not in the Facebook Group yet but would like to join the conversation, you can do so here.

So far on the podcast, we've published two series covering topics like:

• How to get paid for house sitting
• Off-grid travel
• Solo travel and house sitting
• Budget travel
• Long term travel
• How to make the most of your digital nomad community
• Remote work productivity tips and tricks.

If this piques your interest, you can listen and subscribe to Freedom and Four Paws on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and all your favourite podcast providers.

We're planning future episodes too, so if there's a burning question you have that you think would make a great topic, or you feel called to share your own story, please reach out, we'd love to hear from you. Email me sarah@travellivelearn.com.

Tip of the Week💡

Customising your outreach

Whether you're applying for a job, approaching new clients, or putting your hand up for a house sit, be sure to customise your engagement. We recently spent time mentoring a group of freelancers and remote workers who have all been struggling to secure new opportunities. Upon closer analysis of their approach, we discovered that they were not creating a pitch specific enough for the busy people they were reaching out to.

❌Don't: send the same generic, unedited ChatGPT script to everyone.

✔️Do: tweak your outreach / cover letter / CV / pitch to demonstrate that you understand who it is you're talking to, what they want, and how you specifically (think: examples) are the right person for the role.

Make it quick and easy for them to see they should stop to find out more about you.

​

Have a beautiful week :)
