(Subscribe/Follow/Listen to The Arner Adventures Podcast )

Today, we have a spark in our lives episode with a really interesting guest, Vicky Sosa. Vicky is a world traveler, blogger, and digital nomad. She is going to answer some questions about a topic that we have been getting a lot of questions about, house sitting while traveling. We talked about house sitting during Episode 34: Budget Friendly Vacation Ideas, and when we received questions about the topic, we knew we needed an expert to talk about it, and Vicky Sosa is the expert on house sitting while traveling!

Vicky is a Florida-based blogger traveling around the world with her stuffed monkey Buddy. Tired of the 9-5, she sold all of her stuff and started traveling full-time through house sitting. Her website “Buddy The Traveling Monkey” provides useful travel tips, inspiration, and destination guides.

We chat with Vicky Sosa about:

How Buddy came into her life and the creation of the blog
The catalyst of selling all of her stuff, living the nomad life

House sitting– how does it work for Vicky Sosa? What is the lifestyle like?
Pros/Cons of solo travel
Work/life balance as a digital nomad
Living outside of what is considered the “normal” lifestyle
Would she change anything about her decision to live the life that she lives?

Vicky answers our fast-five questions, and the most important question, “What does a life well lived mean to you?”
