Ashley Osmond is introduced to the podcast audience as the new co-host. She comes in hot with stories of her appearance as \u201cKate\u201d on The Celebrity Apprentice and her high-profile family (she\u2019s related to Donny and Marie Osmond). &amp;nbsp; Kari met Ashley at a friend\u2019s houseboat party in Amsterdam about a year ago, and the ladies became fast friends \u2013 and soon to be travel companions (The Workationing Podcast is going to Goa, India!).&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; An experienced solo traveler, Ashley came into the digital nomad lifestyle by teaching English, and has since moved into remote recruiting work. Her company recently co-hosted an event with the Summit Institute in Utah, and she talks about the value of in-person networking at events. &amp;nbsp; While Ashley was in Utah, Kari was coordinating a Magical Mystery Birthday tour that took her through 7 countries in 3 days: Turkey, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Switzerland. &amp;nbsp; The birthday tour ended at a chalet nestled in the French Alps, overlooking Lake Annecy. Heads up: if you\u2019re looking for a party theme that slays on Insta, \u201cStupid Formal\u201d is where it\u2019s at.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Ashley had to figure out what to do with her dog while she\u2019s in India, and the Workationing Facebook group came through for her in a big way: somebody recommended Trusted Housesitters, and the problem was solved. &amp;nbsp; Several people in the Workationing group are able to live the digital nomad lifestyle by getting free housing in exchange for watching other people\u2019s pets while the homeowners are out of town. Ashley\u2019s working it the other way &amp;nbsp; Links mentioned on the podcast: &amp;nbsp; Trusted Housesitters (for free lodging, or free house\/pet sitting services) \u2013 https:\/\/www.trustedhousesitters.com&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; BetterHelp Online Therapy: get a week for free via our affiliate link here \u2013 https:\/\/www.betterhelp.com\/workationing &amp;nbsp; Interested in teaching English abroad?
