I met Chelsea Turgeon 2 years ago (!) in Da Nang, Vietnam. Since then, we've grown sooooo much as business owners, travelers and people.
In this episode, we talk about what changed in our lives since being baby-business owners in Da Nang, where Chelsea traveled to and how she niched down her business. I will also give you an idea of what I have planned before I leave Europe again to go nomadic in October.
