What if losing your dream job was actually the doorway to a more extraordinary life than you ever imagined?
Ryan is joined by Sarah Ifurung who was climbing the corporate ladder in hotel management when she suddenly lost her job. Instead of giving up, she discovered a whole new world of remote work possibilities that eventually led her to become both a digital nomad and professional mermaid performer.
Sarah shares her inspiring journey from non-swimmer to freediving instructor while building a location-independent income. Sarah's story demonstrates that you don't need advanced tech skills to work remotely.
Chapters:
00:07:12 - What is freediving and how to get started
00:011:44 - Losing a job and finding a remote career
00:20:49 - Slow travel for digital nomads
00:25:27 - Finding community while traveling solo
00:28:27 - Sarah’s most memorable travel experience
Learn how she transformed customer service experience into marketable skills, created a flexible work arrangement that allows for adventure, and even performed as a professional mermaid in a tank in India—all while managing client work remotely.
Sarah explains how she finds community while traveling solo, and maintains a sustainable lifestyle that balances work and exploration. Her approach to slow travel offers valuable insights for managing your finances abroad.
From finding community in co-living spaces to confronting travel fears, this episode provides a realistic look at the challenges and rewards of location independence.

Listen and learn why getting lost is often the beginning of finding yourself as a digital nomad.
