• When the Honeymoon Phase Ends on Assignment and Reality Kicks In: The Reminder Every Traveler Needs
    Feb 17 2026

    Send a text

    We’re talking about something that’s been coming up for us lately—this idea of “beginner’s energy” as a traveler.

    You know that feeling when you start a new contract? It can be a little nerve-wracking, but it’s also fun, new, and full of possibility. There’s a lightness to it. You’re there to help, make good money, learn, and then move on. You’re not wrapped up in the politics, the PTO drama, or all the day-to-day stuff that can make full-time jobs feel heavy.

    This topic has been on our minds especially lately because Erran is coming up on a year at the same facility, and we’ve been chatting about how different it feels when that newness starts to wear off.

    You begin to see more of the day-to-day realities, the decisions, the dynamics, and the things that start to feel heavier when you’re there long enough to really be in the trenches of it ALL!!

    It’s been a really good reminder of how unique the traveler perspective is.

    No matter if a department is tough, super busy, or not the best fit, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. You're contract will be up and you will be able to to move on when you are ready.

    In this episode, we also talk about:

    • Why going into each contract with a fresh perspective matters
    • Why you shouldn’t rely on other people’s opinions about a facility
    • How to protect your energy in tough or busy work environments
    • The #1 thing we’ve done that’s helped us have better experiences on every assignment

    If you’re a traveler—or thinking about becoming one—this is a real, honest conversation about how to keep your energy clean, stay focused on why you’re there, and make the most of this lifestyle.

  • Why We’ll Never Have a Six Pack: Finding Balance Between Fitness, Travel, and Actually Enjoying Life
    Feb 12 2026

    Send a text

    After 14 years of traveling full-time, we’ve learned a lot about trying to stay healthy while constantly being on the move—and it’s not always easy. In this episode, we talk about the real challenges of balancing routine, fitness, travel, and actually enjoying life (because we’re definitely not skipping the food or the wine).

    We share how traveling has pushed us to try all kinds of gyms, workouts, and habits over the years, plus the number one thing we do every time we need to get back on track—whether it’s after a contract, an international trip, or hosting one of our Travsessed adventures.

    We also get honest about what’s worked for us, what we still struggle with, and how we’re thinking about health as we move into our 40s and want to feel our absolute best. This episode is all about finding balance, building habits that actually stick, and giving yourself permission to live life along the way.


    Enjoy

  • The Manitou Incline: One of the Hardest Hikes We’ve Done + Tips to Explore More as a Traveler
    Feb 10 2026

    Send a text

    In today’s Traveler Tip Tuesday, we’re sharing our experience hiking the Manitou Incline in Colorado Springs — what it’s like, how challenging it really is, and some tips to help set yourself up for success if it’s on your list.

    But this episode turns into something bigger, too.

    We talk about one of the coolest parts of the travel lifestyle: the opportunity to truly experience the places you live. When you know you’re only somewhere for a few months, it changes your mindset. You explore more, you try new things, and you make the most of your time in a way most people don’t when they live somewhere long term.

    We share how, over the last 14 years of traveling, we’ve always gone into each assignment with the goal of seeing and doing as much as we could — making lists, asking locals for recommendations, and turning our days off into little adventures. It’s one of the most fun and rewarding parts of this lifestyle.

    So in this episode, we talk about:

    • Our day hiking the Manitou Incline
    • Tips if you’re planning to do it
    • Why travelers often experience more in a few months than locals do in years
    • And how to really take advantage of the incredible places you get to live and work

    If you’re a traveler — or thinking about becoming one — this episode is a reminder to get out, explore, and soak it all in while you’re there.

    Enjoy the episode!

  • Traveler Burnout Signs: When It's Time To Take A Break + Why We'd Never Go Full Time
    Feb 4 2026

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode, we’re bringing back Traveler Tip Tuesday — where we pick a travel-related topic (healthcare travel or just fun travel life) and share real tips, personal experiences, and honest insight. These episodes are meant to be short, fun, and easy to take something away from.

    This week, we’re talking about traveler burnout, because it’s very real and very fresh for us — especially for Erran, who is feeling it hard right now. We dive into why the travel lifestyle can be incredible but also mentally exhausting, how decision fatigue sneaks up on you, and what burnout can look like when travel starts to feel more like full-time life than freedom.

    We also share our own personal experiences with travel and work burnout, how Erran feels like he went from traveler to a full time grind- in the mix with all the things. Which he's really feeling burned out by.

    We talk honestly about why we would never go fully full-time staff, and EXACTLY what we would do instead if we were feeling tired of traveling, craving more stability, but not willing to trade in the flexibility and money that traveling provides

    We talk through practical ways to shift your mindset, even when things feel heavy, and how to reconnect with what you love about the travel lifestyle.

    If you’ve ever felt tired, overwhelmed, or stuck between loving travel and feeling burned out by it — this one’s for you.

    Enjoy 🎧

    Feb 2 2026

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we talk about the three-month traveler itch — the mindset that comes with living a life on the move and whether it ever really goes away. We’re still going back and forth on what Kim’s 40th birthday should look like, and we share what it was like hosting our first house guest in 14 years after years of nomadic life.

    Plus, Travsessed Bali is officially live. This will be our sixth time running this trip, and it’s shaping up to be the best one yet.

    Let’s go to Bali in 2026.

  • Why We Do Travel Differently + 2026 In Real Life Community Vibes + Our Move From Florida To
    Jan 8 2026

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we reflect on why in-person experiences matter more than ever and how our most meaningful memories are almost never about what we did — but who we shared them with.

    We talk about a personal trip we took years ago that changed everything for us- one where we honestly just wanted to do our own thing and didn’t even want to be around anyone else, but somehow ended up feeling deeply connected and like a family by the end.

    We also share why Travsessed has always been community-first, how that shapes the way we design our trips, and why we think so many group travel experiences miss the mark. We catch you up on our move from Florida to Colorado, our very symbolic New Year’s Eve in our new home, and how this season of life feels different — in the best way.

    It’s an honest, reflective conversation about people, connection, and the moments that quietly change you.

    Enjoy!!

  • The Challenges of Transitioning From Full Time.....
    Dec 18 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we catch you up on our big move and what it’s been like adjusting to life in a mini mansion. LOL!!

    We also dive into something we don’t hear talked about enough — the transition from travel life to full-time life.

    Making that shift is very different than going from full-time to travel, and it can feel very challenging. A lot of travelers struggle with this decision: Do you trade freedom for stability? Take a big pay cut? Walk away from the flexibility and cash flow you love so much? There’s so much to consider.

    We talk honestly about what it feels like to be ready for more stability, but not quite ready to give up your freedom or income — and whether you actually have to choose between the two.

    We also share creative ways to use travel intentionally to set yourself up for long-term success, so when you are ready to make that shift, you’re doing it on your own terms. Plus, we chat about what we would do differently if Travsessed didn’t exist.

    Happy, happy holidays — enjoy!

  • Change Of Plan + 40th Birthday Plans + Travel Life Tips For Packing & Moving
    Dec 4 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we do a quick Thanksgiving recap — how we stayed up until 3am, ended up hungover on Thanksgiving, but also how it was the best day to be hungover.

    We chat about potential plans for Kim's 40th birthday (and how we still can’t make a decision), plus the fact that we don’t have any big trips until June. That’s the longest we’ve been in one place in forever — but once June hits, we’re off to the races with Travsessed trips planned almost every month.

    We’re also officially moving into our new townhouse this weekend! We signed a year lease, which feels like a big freakin’ deal for us, and we’re so excited. We’re getting all of our stuff out of storage in Florida, and there were a few hiccups and a big change of plans with that whole situation- which we get into.

    It’s a total mix of Thanksgiving chaos, life updates, trip talk, and us bouncing all over the place… per usual.

    Enjoy!!
