Amy Molloy is about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, a four-month trip to some of the world's most beautiful and remote places with her partner Kurt. Only there's one small catch - she plans to work along the way. A successful journalist, Amy has no intentions of putting her career on hold. Can she really meet her deadlines from the Amazon? How will travelling shape her writing? Does she have what it takes to embrace the 'digital nomad' lifestyle? She tackles these big questions and more in Diary of a Digital Nomad: How to Run Away with your Responsibilities, the July pick for Travelher Book Club. Did you read along with us? Share your thoughts in the comments below. "I think to myself maybe they don’t speak English and are just curious about the foreigner who happened upon their fishing spot." "For anyone out there making this transition, I promise you – the first year is the hardest. It can be lonely and there will be times that you want to pack up and move home." Our July book is ‘Diary of a Digital Nomad: How to Run Away with your Responsibilities’ by Amy Molloy. As soon as we saw this title, we were hooked. Who doesn’t want to learn how to make money on the road and see the world at the same time? It’s a #travelherdream. Join us this July as we read about Amy’s adventures… "We naively thought that five months was enough to really “cure” ourselves of our travel curiosity. We should have guessed when we had problems booking our round-the-world ticket — you realise how much of the world you desperately want to see." Robyn ‘Rob’ Davidson is a woman with a plan. She plans to walk across the Australian outback, from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean, with just herself, her beloved dog Diggity, and some wild camels. Only, like all good stories, her plan doesn’t quite go to plan. Tracks is a glimpse into what really happened to Robyn out there in the dust, all alone, yet not alone enough… "There were days that I was exhausted after putting my all into teaching and the kids, only to have to train in the late evening. I had to constantly motivate myself through self talk - a skill I became quite good at! I also had some fundraising events. Having widows to support on my trip was a massive drive. I couldn't let them down." “I was the mother to three baby vervet monkeys. I fed them 7 times a day, taught them how to groom, and socialised with them… but I had to walk a fine line between giving them the attention they needed and not giving them too much. If an animal gets too used to humans, it severely compromises its ability to be reintroduced into the wild.” We recently gave away six gorgeous travel necklaces as part of our Mother’s Day ‘Travelher in Training’ competition. The necklaces were supplied by Lindsay Halladay, a talented jewellery-maker from America. We recently caught up with Lindsay to find out more about the woman behind her fabulous online store, ‘Wonders of Wanderlust’. Introducing the Travelher Book Club! Every month we will read a book about female travel and then exchange thoughts, reviews and general comments here on the blog, and on social media. Are you in? "I think there’s something really nice about everything being so simple. It seems like the more complicated we make life, the more stressed we are. But when you’re just cycling or running along, and all you have to think about is where can I get food from, where can I get water from, and where am I going to pitch my tent… it’s just so easy, and so free." “LA has millions of hidden gems and I wanted to share some of the things I have learnt that will help you navigate this city like a local.” "Travel, by its very nature, is not permanent. In this transience, we collect beautiful memories… but, when the memories are so good, how do we look back without feeling a little blue?" |
