In this episode we'll hear from Jax Sanders, a 39 year old from New York whose experience with solo travel helped her build the confidence to make a drastic change and move to Sri Lanka! We'll also here from Astrid Provence, a curious, free-spirit from South Africa who came to Spain with a partner and found herself facing many unforeseen changes, including a conscious uncoupling, that reaffirmed her own strength. 

Jax

A solo traveler, from the States, and lover of Asia on a personal quest to seek out and explore cultures. Currently living in SEAsia, settled in Sri Lanka, running a B&B as well as working with local businesses, on the vertical of tourism, to assist in implementing modern working practices. Jax’s journey is still unfolding even after almost two years abroad as she focuses on how to live local in a developing country with a societal landscape and daily struggles opposite of her homeland while embracing the growth and raw exposure of the unique emotional experience.

Astrid

Free spirited and curious at heart, Astrid always knew she would have to see the world and learn as much about life as possible. Born and raised in between the majestic Table Mountain and where the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean in Cape Town, South Africa, she is a messy mix of cultures and complicated politics with a love of people and an obsession with personal development. She has worked as a cocktail waitress, Vaudevillian and Nu Jazz singer and dancer, teacher, model, actress, facilitator and coach. Her favourite destinations include India, Holland, Ireland, Zambia, The Seychelles and Zanzibar. Moving to Madrid, Spain in 2016 has taught her hard and fun lessons about relationships, self-love, belonging, strength and that she'll never stop being curious and searching for a life of freedom.
