Goal Traveler's The Just Go Network

Hi remember me? I have a lot of explaining to do and I decided to do it in the most authentic way possible. I'm in quite the transitional period and feel awful for my lack of consistency on the podcast, so I hope this provides some clarity to you. I'm not gone forever, but just expect some changes. ;) If you don't please follow along on Instagram. I am by far the most active and consistent there as GOAL Traveler and The Just Go Network rebrand and evolve. Hope to hear from you over there!  @goaltraveler @whereinhanoi

TODAY ON EPISODE 77 WE WILL BE SPEAKING TO ANNA VALERO WITH TAMGA DESIGNS. Anna is a dear friend of mine that I connected with immediately when I arrived in Vietnam. She is a veteran in my eyes as an ex-pat. She is open and easy to chat with and took me in during the pivotal moment of not knowing how I was going to spend my days. I am internally grateful for her. Our weeks are regularly scheduled around multiple coffee dates where we have begun to know each other quite well. The moment I heard about her brand Tamga I was intrigued by her story. How does this sweet Spanish native find herself in Vietnam designing wonderfully curated sustainable fashion? I had to learn more. I am so proud of what she is doing and can’t advocate for her brand enough. This episode is inspiring for anyone looking to pursue a career in the very complicated fashion industry, but most importantly it’s inspiring to remind you that education is key. It’s her constant need to grow that has led her to build a brand that is working alongs

In today’s world, it is difficult to have a day go by without hearing the threat of the planet due to over consumerism and plastic consumption. Trash is growing at alarming rates and we fear we won’t be able to turn back. Our voices about spreading its awareness and changing our mindset on our habits have never been more vital than today. I am so excited to share this artists take on our world of trash. She has found a way to love what we all hate and open our minds about its uses in the most creative of ways. One of the simplest ways of slowing down our consumption is by finding new ways to reuse what we own. Ariela has created some of the most beautifully unique ways to put an ordinary plastic bag on display. I hope this inspires you all to stop before throwing something in the trash. I hope it causes you to think that possibly there is a better use than placing in the bin. Even better I hope this sparks creativity to help add in the aid of a cleaner greener planet.

Today on episode 72 we will be speaking to Brent & Michael from brentandmichaelaregoingplaces.com. BIO: Brent Hartinger and Michael Jensen are novelists, screenplay writers, columnists, and travel bloggers currently traveling the world as digital nomads.   TOPICS DISCUSSED ON THIS PODCAST: Selling it all for nomad living- Brent and Michael were one of the few who acted on what they said. You wouldn’t believe what the final straw was for them to actually pick up and go, it’s a common complaint many Americans had, but very few made the moves to do. How two opposite personalities balance their travels. One is adventurous and the other is cautious, but the two different dynamics create a wonderful balance when exploring the world. Being a slo-mad. Nomads are expected to be on the move constantly but as couple in their 50’s they decided to take, what they call, a “slomad” approach to travel. They are on-the-go but on a much slower pace and highly suggest others to give it a try. Traveling as a gay coup
