## Resource

What happens when a long-term nomadic traveler rescues a dog and decides not to slow down, but to bring him along? Jackie sits down with travel writer and digital nomad Lora Pope to talk about building a life abroad, navigating burnout, and how one tiny pug named Puglo completely reshaped her journey. From backpacking solo across the world to creating a home base in Mexico, traveling through 16 countries with a dog, and pivoting her business when the travel industry changed overnight, Laura shares the honest highs, lows, and logistics of designing a life that actually feels good. This conversation is a refreshing look at intuition, reinvention, and how sometimes the thing you didn’t plan for becomes the thing that grounds you the most.
