Cubicle to the World: How to Become a Full-Time Traveler w/ Ciara Johnson - a podcast by Christina Galbato

Ciara Johnson is a solo female travel blogger, full-time content creator, occasional freelance writer, and founder of Hey Ciara, a travel blog that empowers women to seek meaningful experiences through travel. Since quitting corporate HR back in 2017, Ciara has been solo-traveling the world and works with well-known brands like Airbnb, Bumble, Chase Bank, Toyota, and more, and has been featured in Forbes and Conde Nast Traveler.

In this episode, Ciara and I talk about making the leap from a 9-5 into a full-time traveler, her blogging and branding journey, making money remotely and how she pursued an alternative lifestyle she loves. We discuss why the road to getting where you want to go is not always linear or straightforward and why traveling is the best investment you can make for yourself.
