Location Confused is a podcast for people who have ever questioned the traditional timeline- or secretly wanted to.
Hosted by nomads Heather and Kayleigh, the show explores the messy, funny, and unexpectedly meaningful side of living without a permanent home. From navigating client calls across continents to dating while constantly moving, they unpack the parts of nomad life that rarely make it to Instagram.
It’s mostly two friends talking the way friends actually do - candid, curious, and occasionally unfiltered - with guest conversations from people building unconventional lives around the world.
If you’ve ever wondered:
What long-term nomad life really looks like
Whether freedom gets lonely
How people sustain a life without a home base
Or if “this was supposed to be temporary” ever stops being the story
You’re in the right place.
Because sometimes you’re not lost.
You’re just Location Confused.
E10 | We asked Johannes personal questions. (GUEST EPISODE!)
OUR VERY FIRST GUEST! We couldn't think of better way to celebrate 10 episodes than with our very tall and very German friend, Johannes Voelkner. Oh did we mention he started NomadCruise 11 years ago and that is the reason we are all sitting here now? Today, we get to know the man behind the community that has brought so many of us together around the world.
Needless to say… we didn’t let him off easy.
This one was fun!

E8 | Nomad Norms
"Only nomads would think this is normal.”
Ever wake up confused about what country you're in?
Sometimes we do!
We get into the little habits, routines, and mildly chaotic realities that come with living on the move full-time.
And then there are the random things that become oddly important as a nomad: wardrobes, airport rituals, emergency contacts that are scattered across the globe, and why digital nomads become weirdly obsessed with certain travel essentials.
As always, it’s a mix of travel stories, honest moments, and the tiny details of nomad life that somehow become your entire personality.
Epi 8 Line Up:
Digital nomad essentials we can’t live without
The hacks we use to keep up with the time zones
Nomad phrases and language that sound insane to everyone else
Holiday planning when “home” is complicated
When is the last time we took a 'vacation'?
new episode weekly.

E7 | Routines on the Road
IS ANYONE EVER PERFECTLY HYDRATED?
Our chat this week is about how we try to establish routine while traveling and how it sometimes fails. We also brainstorm ways to stay hydrated, skincare habits, and whether we’re actually disciplined… or just telling ourselves we are.
As always, it’s a mix of chaotic travel stories, honest moments, and the little things that come with trying to build a life while constantly moving.
THE EPI 7 LINE UP:
Kites up in Boracay
Cultural misunderstandings that live rent-free in our minds
A beer helmet and why it could save the world
Night routines vs. morning routines
Staying consistent with fitness while traveling

E6 | The underutilized emotion of embarrassment
Anyone feel like we were back on 'dial up' this week or just us? Whew the labor was slow and long but Episode 6 is finally out. She is Audio only :)
We chat a lot about embarrassing moments this week
We talk about how certain places just hit differently (it's water) and how being somewhere new (by water) can completely shift your mood, routine, and perspective (because there is water near by).
Naturally, we embarrass ourselves and spiral into airport horror stories that include CBD gummies & confidently boarding the wrong flight.
But in the end, we came up with a great dating activity... let us know if you try it out!
EPI 6 LINE UP:
Heather tries out TimeLeft to meet new friends
Kayleigh thinks Toulouse is Zurich
Tattoo talk (of course)
A new first date activity
Audio-only this week, but the chaos remains the same.
Listen now.

E5 | Business class fails, languages & mouth showers
We've made it 5 epis in and this one is our most chaotic one yet. We chat about a little of everything (is it because Kayleigh is sans coffee? probably) from visa stress and flight mishaps and something unexpected: love languages but the nomad edition.
As always this is an honest mix of chaotic travel stories, honest moments, and the small realities that don’t make it to Instagram.

what connection looks like when nothing in life is stable.
When we get humbled by our North American privilege
Our loovvvveee languages
Apples vs Manzanas

Unique ways to see the world (Kayleigh voluntarily cleaned dog cages at a Thai clinic)

E1 | Not Lost, Just Location Confused
Welcome to Location Confused! It's Heather and Kayleigh - and we finally found a place to record our gabbing (& humor) permanently… a podcast.
THE FIRST EPI LINEUP:
what was supposed to be “just a trip” slowly turned into… our entire personalities, uhh or lifestyle.
We chat about the 'unsexy' side of nomad life that doesn't make the social media feed - the anxiety and mental gymnastics that come with constantly figuring out where you’re sleeping next month.
we gab about solo travel vs nomading on a cruise and why community becomes crucial
Basically, this episode is us starting to unpack the real side of nomad life - the highs, the weird moments, the occasional “what are we doing with our lives,” and the friendships that somehow keep us doing it anyway.
