Feuza Reis – also known as Fuse – is on the edge of a whole new chapter. In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, she shares her journey from childhood immigration to remote work, from grief-filled goodbyes at the airport to finding joy in travel once again.
Now a remote worker at a travel tech company and the creator behind Fuse Travels, Feuza opens up about the emotional transformation that brought her to this pivotal moment: preparing to apply for Italy’s digital nomad visa and working toward a location-independent lifestyle.
We talk about identity, motherhood, guilt, and growth – and what it means to follow your joy, even if you're not sure where it will lead.
Key Takeaways
- Why travel was once tied to sorrow, and how that changed
- The impact of growing up between two cultures and feeling caught between identities
- What it's like to redefine yourself in your 40s
- How COVID played a role in accelerating the desire for change
- Her thoughts on becoming a digital nomad while raising older kids
- The importance of "getting glimpses" of the life you want
- Why her “soul place” is Italy – and how she's preparing for the visa
- Her dream of “retiring” her husband through shared creative projects
- A reminder that you don’t have to go all-in to start shifting toward nomadism
