Do you want to travel without sacrificing your financial stability and career? We've got you covered! Join us for a deep dive with travel blogger and author Helene Sula. We discuss how she took calculated risks to follow her dreams of travelling and living abroad without sacrificing stability and comfort and how you can too. 

Wanting to get out of her comfort zone, Helene quit the corporate world, packed up two suitcases and two dogs, and moved with her husband, Michael, from Dallas, Texas, to Oxford, England. 

They've also lived abroad in Heidelberg, Germany. The purpose was to travel Europe, write about her travels, and encourage others to live out their dreams. 

She now has over 560,000 dedicated Instagram followers, 280,000 on TikTok subscribers, and 170,000 newsletter subscribers, and her blog Helene Inbetween, receives 250,000 views every month. 

In this episode, Helene discusses her candid travel memoir Two O'Clock on a Tuesday at Trevi Fountain and shares the realities—both the magical and the mundane—that come with chasing bold dreams and learning that home is where you make it. For those who fear change, the secret lies in taking calculated risks so that you can follow your dreams without compromise. 

Join us for a lively discussion on how to break out of your comfort zone and start travelling now.
