From Sumplace New: The Long-Term Travel Podcast
Curious about international travel? Want to leave everything behind and become a digital nomad? We — Karen and Jon Sumple — did just that, leaving the USA in July 2018, and our open-ended, long-term travel journey has taken us through Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina Scotland and, now, South Africa. We enjoy living "Sumplace New" every few months because it provides perspective, awareness and understanding. We meet amazing people and witness how they live, work and play. We visit well-known destinations and wander roads less traveled to see where they lead. So why and how are we doing this? What are the obstacles, frustrations and lessons learned? The highlights and insights gleaned from living abroad, yet living locally? Listen in as we share all this and more. We continually challenge ourselves to "do the new" — and we encourage you to do the same, whether it's close to home or the other side of the world.

Jon offers some insightful answers to Karen's questions about travel and our work from anywhere lifestyle. But first, the best thing that happened to Jon last week: freezer boots! The covid clampdown is coming to Scotland, but first, Karen wants answers from Jon to these questions:
- What was your first international trip? Highlights?
- When did you realize travel was important to you? Or What about you makes you wired for travel — and/or exploring new territory?
- Where have we been in our travels that you most want to return?
- Has your bucket list of potential locations changed in recent years?
- What is the one way you’ve most adapted your travel mindset during these Covid times? What is the biggest challenge?
- How has long-term travel changed you?
- What do you like most about working on the road, or from anywhere? Like least?
- What is the best advice you have for someone considering a similar path?
- If you could go back a couple years before we set out, would you do anything differently?
