What does it really look like to quit a 9–5 job and move abroad?

In this episode of the Taste Toast Travel podcast, I'm joined by Anna Schild, who shares her journey from working a corporate job in the United States to backpacking around the world—and eventually building a life in Germany.

From navigating visas and residency requirements to adjusting to everyday life as an American living in Europe, Anna offers an honest look at the challenges and rewards of long-term travel and relocation.

We talk about what it takes to leave behind a traditional career, how flexibility becomes your greatest tool while traveling, and the cultural surprises that come with living abroad.

Anna also shares stories from the road, including German wine festivals, local traditions, and how travel helped her uncover passions she never expected.
