In this week’s episode, I speak with Alana who is a Chicago based attorney turned travel writer and founder of Course Charted, a source for slow and sustainable travel.  As a child, Alana fled Kyiv after the Chernobyl disaster to eventually move to the United States. She learned to be entrepreneurial when she left her homeland with just a handful of suitcase and eventually became a lawyer to follow the American dream.  However, this changed when she realized that the typical American Dream was not for her and left to become a travel writer and remote entrepreneur.  Listen on to find out how Alana left the American dream to pursue her personal freedom. --------------- Hey Offbeat Family, I really your listening to this episode.
