from Makin Moves with Matt Podcast · host Matt

Ayyyy welcome back to your fave travel podcast. Thanks for tuning in and getting yourself ready to make some MOVES with me. Let's get it!In Season 4 Episode 23, I am joined by Liv originally from Connecticut. Liv is a travel writer, content creator, and photographer originally from Connecticut. When she was 17, she moved to Oahu, Hawaii—an experience that sparked her love for travel. Living on an island surrounded by beaches and mountains inspired her to spend more time outdoors, explore new places, and connect with people from around the world. While living in Hawaii, Liv began taking solo trips every few months and quickly realized how much she loved experiencing new cultures.After finishing her degree in Sociology, Liv set off at 20 years old on what was supposed to be an eight-month backpacking trip. That journey eventually turned into full-time travel, and she’s been on the road ever since.Now she works as a freelance travel writer, content creator, and photographer. Through her project World Wise Fridays, Liv aims to educate and inspire Americans about different cultures while learning, experiencing, and capturing the world around her.In this episode, Liv joins the podcast to share her experience exploring Socotra, Yemen—an island often described as one of the most otherworldly places on Earth. We talk about what it’s really like to travel there, the unique landscapes and wildlife that make the island so special, and what travelers should know before visiting this remote destination.
