FINAL THOUGHTS
Really interesting talking with someone that has left what most would call a lucrative job, one that takes a ton of education and knowledge to do, and trade it all in for travel, writing and blogging. The key is that Jen loves what she does, she has a passion for travel and I totally understand that.
Thank you for this episode! I’m a budget traveler and have done many solo trips (Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Peru, Canada, Israel, the Irelands, and Scotland) as a female, as well as several other countries traveling with others. I hope you’re right about WOW Air possibly making a comeback. I caught a $399 RT flight to Israel on WOW a few years ago. All of the information Jen shared was valuable, and I appreciate both of you for taking the time to share.
Thanks very much for your message Sandi, glad you enjoyed the episode!
