Today I sit down with digital nomad + "U.S. dropout" Bianca Lynch to talk about ditching the matrix, living abroad for less than half the cost of the U.S., finding flight deals that seem fake, and redefining what “freedom” really means. Bianca breaks down the hacks, mindset shifts, and lived experiences that help her cross borders without breaking the bank.

Episode highlights:

• The best travel experiences usually cost $0, seriously
• How to rack up reward points WITHOUT credit cards (WTF?!)
• Why the "look up flights on Tuesdays" is a total myth
• Addressing the elephant in the room of digital nomad life -- is it bad for the countries we're traveling to?
• The travel hacks you've never heard of (I've traveled for 5 years and never heard of some of the tips Bianca shares)

If you’ve ever dreamed of living abroad, fleeing the USA, or simply taking a trip without taking out a loan, this episode is for you. Bianca shows you how accessible global travel really is, and why the world is way more affordable, expansive, and welcoming than you’ve been led to believe.

Tune in, take notes, and maybe… open Google Flights.
