#65 - Shifting the perspective. Robin's long-term travel

In this episode of ON(E)WARDS, I sit down with Robin, a solo traveler whose journey is all about breaking free, rediscovering herself, and embracing the joy of long-term travel. After a breakup in 2023, Robin left behind van life with her partner and began traveling full-time on her own. From Thailand’s stunning beaches to Vietnam’s sprawling rice fields, Robin shares how travel has helped her disconnect from old labels, embrace freedom, and redefine her purpose.

We dive into big questions like:

• Are long-term travelers running away or searching for themselves?
• Do we need labels like “traveler,” or can we just live in the moment?
• How do we balance the pull of adventure with the need for stability?

Robin’s insights into solo travel, self-discovery, and finding balance on the road will resonate with seasoned travelers and dreamers alike. She also shares her journey to inspiring others—including her mom!—to step out of their comfort zones and explore the world.

Highlights of this Episode:

• Robin’s shift in mindset: from “nothing holds me up” to “nothing is holding me back”
• Why Thailand feels like home and why Bali wasn’t for her
• Falling in love with Vietnam’s mainland freedom and natural beauty
• The challenges and joys of working remotely while traveling
• Her advice on finding balance, staying longer in places, and letting go of labels
