Try Descript, beginner-friendly & text based editing app: https://get.descript.com/katiestecky 💻 As a full-time content creator, I’m lucky to have the flexibility to travel while I work. However sometimes the challenge is figuring out how to balance the two. I want to be present and appreciate where I am - currently living in my van in Italy - but I also do have shit to do. So I thought I’d take you along today for a productive work day from my van and we could chat honestly about how I afford to travel so much, my money saving strategy in general, and how I balance work with travel. It’s been about a month since my last vlog so I thought we should catch up!
