On this week’s episode, we’re speaking with Sharon Gourlay from WheresSharon.com. Sharon and her family left their home in Melbourne, Australia in 2014 with the dream of a better lifestyle. Since then, they have built a successful travel blog and a series of other sites while visiting many countries in Asia and Europe with their preschoolers. They recently decided to return back home, which is something that a lot of digital nomads consider during their travels. You’ll hear how the Gourlays managed to build a successful location-independent business on the road, and how they were able to face the challenges of settling into life back home.
