Ep. 28 How Travel Changes Your Identity and Priorities feat. Earth Nomad Slava
We sit down with Slava to explore what long-term travel really looks like beyond the highlight reel. He reflects on identity, freedom, and redefining wealth through time rather than money, sharing how travel shifts from escape to everyday life. We talk about slowing down, letting go of old versions of success, and building systems that make a nomadic life feel sustainable, grounded, and intentional.
