This week I am so excited to speak with Lola Mendez who is a nomadic travel journalist and an advocate for responsible tourism.  After living in New York City for 7 years and working in the fashion industry. Lola knew she needed a change and decided to leave her job to full time travel around the world.  This leap of faith led Lola to find her passion as a writer and to become a leading voice in Latina travel.  Today Lola has been published in Lonely Planet, Far & Wide, Matador Network and continues to travel around the world on a budget.  Listen on to find out how to full time travel on a budget and do responsible tourism.  --------- Want to know how to overcome the biggest challenge of being a freelancer?  One of the trickiest things about being a freelancer is achieving financial stability for the long- term.
