This week on the podcast we are excited to be chatting with Stephanie and Gillian from Our Freedom Years!
After working for 7 years in Singapore, Stephanie and Gillian realized a decade long dream of achieving financial independence in 2019 and had started a nomad journey in Europe when the global pandemic unexpectedly hit.
They returned to Canada to wait it out and are now back in Europe, based in Greece. We chat about their journey to financial independence, their experience in Italy as the pandemic started, what it is like traveling with dogs, and finally what it’s been like to be back in Europe.
