Island hopping through the Caribbean

Nicole Caba joins About Abroad today to discuss her move to Lyon, France, and how her personal experience traveling the world with her dog, changed the trajectory of her life. She’s now the founder of Avvinue, a company hoping to reshape how we travel with our pets, which can unlock a life abroad for so many of us who feel this lifestyle is inaccessible because of our furry friends. We laugh through some pet-travel horror stories, and talk about the realities of moving abroad, finding community in a foreign place, and the paradox of choice that hovers over perpetual travelers.  "This episode originally aired on November 2022 and taxes in foreign countries in an ever-changing situation.

Today my friend Claire joins me from the Bahamas, where she and her husband are currently calling “home”, after they traded their regular lives in the US for a new life aboard their catamaran. They now spend their winters island hopping, spearfishing and exploring the different cultures across the Caribbean. The best part is - as we come to find out, anyone willing to “just sail away”, can do the same.
