What's Your Opinion On "Job Hopping" and dealing with uncertainty?
Hey Jason, First, I just want to say I'm a huge fan of the podcast! I've been listening for about 9 months now and I love hearing about the different paths people can take to live a life of travel. As someone who didn't even know what a remote job was until recently, it's all really interesting to me, and I'm definitely learning ways to incorporate travel into my life as well. Keep up the great work! I wanted to get your opinion on "job hopping," and I know you've talked a little bit about this on your show. I'm only 23, and since graduating from college a little under 2 years ago, I've already held 3 different full-time jobs for different reasons- better paying, better related to my degree, etc. I recently applied to this seriously awesome job on Cool Works (thanks to listening to your show!). It's remote, would be within my skillset (sales & marketing), and I'd have much more freedom & flexibility to travel. The only problem is, it's seasonal from March-August. I spoke to the recruiter and asked if there would be any opportunity to extend this to a year-round position, and she said that it's definitely possible and they've asked people to stay before, but it definitely wouldn't be guaranteed. So basically, I'd have to leave my current job that I have been working at for 5 months, for this awesome opportunity, but then have to find something else at the end of it if I don't get the chance to stay on. I like but don't love my current job, it's definitely the best job I've held since being out of school, but the idea of being location independent is a dream I've had for a while now, and I don't know if I'd want to pass this up. On another hand, I don't want it to look bad to future employers that I've job hopped so much, but I know I'm still young, and isn't that what your twenties are for? Sorry for such a long message, but would love any insight or advice you could provide. Thanks again for all that you do. :)

SUV camper conversion
Good day - I am planning a road trip this summer in US and need to find some resources to finish my adaption of my 2017 Honda CRV. I am not doing the whole VanLife for months thing, but trying to find ways to keep costs down. I have figured out sleeping and privacy but need some help with storage and how to keep bugs and such out while sleeping with windows down. The typical screens attached with magnets or binder clips don't work due to the way the car is designed. If someone could point me in the right direction of some additional resources, that would be great.
Jason, how I you so gosh darn cute!?
Ok that's not my question. hmm, I don't have any questions. I already asked you all of them over the past several months!!! Ok, here's a lame technical one. Any chance supercast will eventually work with Spotify? Cause that's my goto podcast app. Or does it and I just didn't see it?
Wanted: quick and dirty songwriting tip
I want to write 12 songs that are the most commercially accessible, least objectional (offensive) to the greatest number of people. (Kenny Rogers said he wrote songs with this goal in mind.) With all of your musical experience, any tip on how to go about this? (Singing your praise in advance for answering the question, will consider giving you co-writing credit.) ----Herald
Two questions regarding podcasts
1) Can you explain your recording process? Specifically interested in the softwares used for recording and editing. 2) If you have experience with group scheduling, what is the best way to go about this? ie, scheduling multiple specific people into time slots. Thanks!!
Secured storage in an RV/tow vehicle
So now I have my RV and tow vehicle, I am wondering about storing things like computers securely. It does not make sense to carry it everywhere with you, but lets face it, an RV door lock is going to be pretty easy to force, when the owner is not on site. This is not something I see addressed very well on some RV sites. Suggestions?
Telehealth Jobs
Hey Jason! I've been fairly certain that I want to be a therapist and a traveler since I was a teenager, but up until this pandemic I thought these would be mutually exclusive. I always assumed I would be a slave to the PTO, taking yearly trips to satiate myself. Since the pandemic, I've realized that maybe I could be a therapist from anywhere. Maybe I could be a therapist AND a traveler. Do you know anyone who has done this? I would love to hear an episode on nomadic mental health professionals or something similar, but I understand if the margin of interest is too niche! Any feedback you have would be helpful.
Hawaii tips?
Hey Jason, I just listened to your winter destinations episodes and I was so happy to hear that Hawaii was on the list given that I'm going to the big island soon! I'm having trouble booking a rental car for under $1K for just a week! I'm also having a hard time making an itinerary since there are so many expensive things to do on the island. Do you have any tips? Best, Kait xoxo
Starting a Life as a Digital Nomad.
Greetings Jason, First off, I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to your podcast. It has been so fun to listen to, not to mention a great resource. Anyways, I apologize if this question has been asked before. I am currently enrolled in college for a bachelor's in history and taking my TEFL course(Teaching English as a Foreign Language). I was wondering what jobs might be available for someone such as me in the remote working world? And/ Or what resources might I find to discover such jobs? I understand this is asking a lot, but I thought why not take a shot in the dark. I eventually want to use my schooling to teach abroad., but finding something to make some money while studying abroad would be awesome. Anything you can offer would be delightful. Looking forward to your next podcast, Thank you, Jason. -Zach
Europe backpacking
Hey Jason, I found your podcast a few weeks ago and have been listening to it everyday since, and I love it! You inspired me to finally commit to a 3 month backpacking trip through Europe. This has a dream of mine for a very long time and I’m currently booking flights. As a 19 year old from Australia traveling alone for the first time, I am a bit nervous. So I would love to get some tips on backpacking through Europe and some good cheap places to go. My main interests in this trip would be beautiful scenery, hiking trails, food (and good coffee of course!), and great nightlife. I’m planning on arriving early July and then heading back home around late September/early October. I know it’s very expensive, but my dream is to go to Norway and see the northern lights! Who knows I might even see you there hahaha.
Location finder - Campground Hosting
Hi Jason - One year into RV lifestyle. My new slightly larger camper is due in by the end of the month and I will be moving back out of my condo soon so that it can go back to earning me some extra money. I have discovered that an option for reducing expenses for setting the RV on a site is to act as a campground host, but I am unable to find a consolidated list of options. I was wondering if you knew of anything place that correlates the information into one location. Every state, federal and county park seems to have different websites. Thanks.
