How Liezl Earns Enough to Live Abroad on 3 Hours of Work a Day: Podcast Episode #49
<p><strong>What if the money part was easier than you think?</strong></p><p>In this episode of Expat on a Budget, I talk with Leizl Smith, a South African expat who met her Dutch husband on a cruise ship in 2004, spent nearly a decade raising and homeschooling two kids while living half the year at sea, and now earns her entire living online — enough to cover the mortgage and then some, working about three hours a day. She’s currently in the Netherlands and packing up for her next chapter: a move to the Caribbean island of Curaçao.</p><p>We get into the thing most people are too afraid to ask about: how you actually pay for a life abroad. Leizl is refreshingly honest about the road it took to get here — the high-ticket affiliate venture that left her so discouraged she nearly walked away from making money online for good, the long stretch of working hard for almost nothing, and the quieter shift last year that finally made it click.</p><p><strong>If the money question is what’s been holding you back, this conversation might change how you see what’s possible.</strong></p><p>We also get into:</p><p>how she covers her mortgage working roughly three hours a day</p><p>the affiliate model she swears by — and why she loves not having to create the product</p><p>the expensive detour that nearly made her quit</p><p>how she uses AI to create content (and photos) without being “techy”</p><p>getting stranded in Costa Rica in 2020 and how that reshaped everything</p><p>why she believes you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin</p><p>If you’ve ever told yourself you couldn’t afford to leave, or that you’re not tech-savvy enough, or that it’s too late to build something new — this one gently calls that bluff.</p><p><strong>Leizl’s takeaway: the thing that finally worked was the one she almost scrolled right past.</strong></p><p>Find Liezl and Learn More About Her Flexible Income Club!</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.skool.com/the-flexible-income-club-9013/about?ref=bf7ea3e8a70f4eaea63a766dce90fa62">Skool Community</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/theflexibleincomeclub/?ref=share">Facebook group</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/liezl_sm1th?igsh=MThiNzI0aXZ2amV0NA==">Instagram</a></p><p>You can also find a video of this podcast on <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/4U7X3g42Ycs">YouTube </a>if you’d rather watch there 😃</p><p><strong>Ready to Plan Your Own Move?</strong></p><p>My goal is to help you make your dream of moving abroad a reality.

<p>What if your best life starts at 69?</p><p>In this inspiring episode of Expat on a Budget, I talk with Siobhan Farr, founder of <strong>Digital Nomads Beyond 50</strong>, lifelong traveler, and full-time nomad who has now visited <strong>68 countries</strong>. Siobhan shares how she sold off 30 years of belongings in Dallas, launched into full-time travel in 2020, unexpectedly spent 13 months in Ecuador during lockdown, and built a life of freedom, purpose, and reinvention on the road.</p><p>We talk about what it really looks like to travel the world later in life, how far a budget can stretch depending on where you go, and why Siobhan believes it’s never too late to flip the page and start over. She opens up about the dark chapter that followed divorce and bankruptcy, the healing power of travel, and how that journey led her to create a community for older aspiring digital nomads.</p><p>We also get into:</p><p>how she managed nomad life on roughly $2,000 a month for years</p><p>why Medellín has become one of her favorite cities in the world</p><p>what solo female travelers should know about safety in places like Morocco, Tanzania, and Colombia</p><p>the emotional side of leaving home and starting over</p><p>her upcoming Nomad Life Map community for people ready to design a location-independent life after 50</p><p>If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re too old, too settled, or too late to create a different future, this conversation will challenge that belief in the best possible way.</p><p><strong>Siobhan’s motto:</strong> Flip the page.

Ethical Volunteer Travel: What Actually Helps —Podcast Episode #47
<p>Volunteer travel can be life-changing—or unethical—depending on who leads, who benefits, and what’s really happening on the ground. In this episode, I’m joined by <strong>Kimberly Haley Coleman</strong>, founder of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.globeaware.org/"><strong>Globe Aware</strong></a>, to unpack what ethical short-term service trips look like after 25 years in the field. We talk about how projects are selected by local communities, what a one-week “turnkey” service experience includes, the difference between “hard power” and “soft power,” and the practical tradeoffs around cost, sustainability, and dignity. If you’ve been curious about traveling with purpose—without the savior complex—this conversation will sharpen your lens.</p><p><strong>In this episode, we cover:</strong></p><p>What <a target="_blank" href="https://www.globeaware.org/">Globe Aware</a> is and why it was founded (accidentally)</p><p>Why 6-night / ~7-day service trips exist—and who they’re built for</p><p>How projects are chosen (local agency, safety, sustainability criteria)</p><p>Ethical tourism vs exploitative voluntourism: what to watch for</p><p>Why “we’re not here to save anyone” is a core principle</p><p>How service creates deeper cultural connection than typical tourism</p><p>The reality of cost, logistics, and why volunteers often pay to serve</p><p>Carbon footprint vs impact: how to think about “making the trip count”</p><p>What trips include (service hours + cultural excursions + reflection)</p><p>Repeat volunteers, destination choice, and examples of real projects</p><p></p><p><strong>Find Out How You Can Get Involved </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.globeaware.org/"><strong>Here</strong></a><strong>!</strong></p><p></p><p>⏱ <strong>TIMESTAMPED HIGHLIGHTS:</strong></p><p>00:03:14 — Why Globe Aware started (finding meaningful short-term service was “almost impossible”)</p><p>00:04:17 — The model: six-night service projects in 26 countries</p><p>00:04:28 — Finishable, hands-on projects (floors/homes/stoves examples)</p><p>00:04:49 — “We are not swooping in to save them”: equal partners, local materials</p><p>00:05:45 — What makes a country a fit: safety, grassroots orgs, no outbreaks/war</p><p>00:07:30 — Why service changes you: gratitude, perspective, “resetting defaults”</p><p>00:09:11 — Why one week: realistic time off for working people (vs Peace Corps)</p><p>00:12:01 — Hard power vs soft power: what “showing up” does over time</p><p>00:13:16 — Carbon footprint: acknowledge it, then “make it worthwhile”</p><p>00:36:16 — Ethical tourism basics: local agency, dignity, and avoiding harm</p><p>You can also find a video of this podcast on <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/U0G69XAKyJ8">YouTube</a> if you’d rather watch there 😃</p><p><strong>Ready to Plan Your Own Move?</strong></p><p>My goal is to help you make your dream of moving abroad a reality.
