In this episode of The Wanderlust Wealth Show, we’re diving into the inspiring journey of Rebecca, a former associate director at Deloitte, who walked away from her successful corporate career to build a life of freedom through short-term rental investing.
We explore how becoming a mother during the pandemic sparked deep reflection, leading Rebecca to question whether her high-achieving career truly aligned with her values. She opens up about the emotional identity shift that came with leaving the corporate world, her fears of being “not needed,” and the unexpected challenges of entrepreneurship.
Rebecca also shares how she built her Airbnb business remotely in Cape Town, South Africa—why she chose that market, what competitive advantages she leveraged, and what every new investor should know before diving into international real estate.
Whether you're on the edge of your own career pivot or dreaming about creating income beyond your 9-5, this episode is packed with real talk, strategy, and inspiration to help you take that leap with confidence.
