Exploring the World as a Means of Self Improvement with Shay Doran | TNN38
01/10/22 • 23 min
Travel and exploration is a wonderful and fulfilling way to improve yourself on so many levels. Breaking out of your comfort zone is so difficult to do. Human beings are almost programmed to find whatever makes them feel safest and do it over and over again, even if it prevents them from growing. Traveling will force you to take a different approach. It’ll push you outside the comfort zone you know and love and open you up to new experiences. And the best way to learn all this is to be coached by a seasoned traveler and digital nomad, Shay Doran.
In this episode of The New Nomad, Shay joins our hosts, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski, in discussing what travel can do for you in terms of self-awareness. They also talked about balance in the digital nomad lifestyle and how to achieve it by time management. As digital nomads, they also stressed the importance of technology and how it helped us shift from the office cubicle to being able to work anywhere. The perfect start of the year episode with a ton of tips and gold nuggets peppered everywhere! Truly an episode you don’t want to miss.
