#4: Rebelling against family, making tough decisions, and chasing freedom w/ Sandra Ibrahim

Sandra takes us through her journey from growing up in a strict Egyptian household to taking the leap into nomad life after realising backpacking in Barcelona was actually cheaper than living in LA. With just a few thousand dollars and a one-way ticket at the age of 21, she proved you don't need to be rich to travel.Sandra got real with us about leaving her her career in the tech industry to build her travel app Roam and dive into content creation. The ups, the downs, the money worries, being the family rebel child – she shared it all! What stuck with us was how travel actually helped her anxiety instead of making it worse. If you've ever thought "I could never do that," Sandra's story will make you think again!👉 Connect with Sandra: @brownandoutoftown🎒 Download roam from the App Store - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/roam-find-travel-friends/id6514272603 🔗 Connect with us @acrosseveryborder📧 Send in your questions to [email protected]📖 Download our FREE quick start guide to becoming a digital nomad to learn all about the steps you can take to become a digital nomad today - https://acrosseveryborder.kit.com/nomadic-mini-guide💻 Check out our nomad and travel guides over on www.acrosseveryborder.com where we cover extensive topics on the best nomad destinations, offer in-depth travel guides, and provide tips and tricks to help you become a digital nomad.📝 Sign up to our Nomadic Bites newsletter where, every Thursday, we send out an email covering a new digital nomad topic from the ground up.
