Ayyyy welcome back to your fave travel podcast. Thanks for tuning in and getting yourself ready to make some MOVES with me. Let's get it!
In Season 4 Episode 11, I am joined by Julia from Poland. After leaving Poland at 19 to study architecture, Julia moved to London and spent five years earning her Master’s Degree. Her studies took her around the world—from projects in Russia to a self-organized internship in Sri Lanka—and she later worked in architecture across the UK, Greece, Sri Lanka, and Poland. But despite loving the creativity of the field, the corporate office environment wasn’t for her.
Everything changed when Julia began working in tourism during her university breaks. That path now gives her the freedom she always wanted: six months of work abroad followed by months of travel. And Julia always chooses the travel.
Most recently, she spent a month exploring Ethiopia—an experience that became one of her most impactful trips. In this episode, we dive into her Ethiopian adventure from a motorbike journey to visit remote tribes in the south, celebrating Ethiopian Orthodox Christmas in Lalibela (one of the country’s biggest and most spiritual events), witnessing the vibrant Timkat celebrations, and discovering the eastern side of the country.
We talk about her shift from architecture to a freedom-based lifestyle, the realities of working around the world, and what it’s truly like to experience Ethiopia beyond the usual tourist route. Tune in today!
