How This Solo Female Traveler Built Her Successful Digital Nomad Lifestyle

Описание: What does it really take to walk away from a “perfect on paper” life and choose long-term travel instead?

In the first installment of our new series on what long-term travel is REALLY like, I sit down with Bea Meitiner, a 39-year-old long-term traveler originally from the UK, who has spent the last year and a half traveling full-time and has now visited 54 countries. Bea shares an incredibly honest, raw, and inspiring account of what it took to finally listen to herself—and what she’s learned along the way.

Digital nomad lives may seem envy-worthy, but Bea shares the harsh realities of the sacrifices she had to make along the way in pursuit of her dream: to travel around the world long-term.

In this wide-ranging interview, we talk about her journey, including:
What it was like to leave behind a high-paying executive career, marriage, and traditional “white picket fence” life
Navigating safety as a solo female traveler (including difficult moments —and moments of extraordinary kindness)
WILD travel stories, including when she was nearly eaten by a hippo and what it was like to break her ankle while descending Everest
We touch on what it's like to shift your identity, how her views on tourism have evolved, and where she's most excited to visit next

This conversation is funny, emotional, humbling, and deeply human. It’s about travel—but also about courage, trust, resilience, and choosing a life that actually feels like yours.

If you’re dreaming of long-term travel, questioning a conventional path, or wondering whether it’s “too late” to change your life, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear about how Bea re-built her life as a successful solo female digital nomad, traveling around the world as she pleases.
