🎉 Susie Chau, founder of Carpe Diem Traveler, shares her personal journey from a corporate career to helping families achieve their travel dreams. She reflects on her early travels, including a life-changing year-long sabbatical with her husband across seven continents. This experience was surprisingly less expensive than their normal life in Chicago and inspired her to pivot her career and help others realize that long-term travel is financially attainable by "swapping" existing expenses.
🌎 Susie announces her new company, Roam Collective, which is launching a five-week summer program in 2026 in a surprise location (tune in to find out where!!).
