A lot of us share the dream of traveling around the world full-time. In reality though, we have bills to pay and we have to be able to feed ourselves. For most of us, that means a job that we can do while we’re traveling or one that involves travel for work. I spent a […]
When you hear the words “lab manager” you probably think of high school science class. You’d sometimes be right, but then again, it’s Kat’s work as lab manager and medical monitor for clinical research studies that led her to Uganda, where I got to spend a few weeks with her in Kampala last fall.

When you travel half way across the globe you don’t typically expect to run into people from your hometown.

Welcome back to the Woman of the Week Series! This Week I’m bringing you an interview with a fellow Sarah, whom I met in Japan this past fall. We crossed paths at a small karaoke bar while I was on a pub tour through Osaka, her current place of work and residence. Though we didn’t […]
This year I tried Workaway for the first time and immediately became a huge promoter of the platform. If you’re not familiar with Workaway experiences or the greater Workaway international exchange program, here’s the lowdown: you trade your skills and volunteer services for free accommodation, cultural exchange, and sometimes meals (!) with hosts from around […]
Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2019! November and December were much busier months than I anticipated (I feel like I say that every month) and Suitcase Six was quiet, but I am finally getting settled at home in Indiana. That means I’m back to writing and learning about sustainable travel with you. The […]
