KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you want to rent long-term in a tourist destination you need to get in before properties start to be booked for the year by vacationers.
• Mental and physical health are best addressed together. One feeds the other. Jenny shares several examples of this during the podcast.
• When you move country, you may struggle to maintain some of your healthy habits.
• If you can´t take care of yourself the same way when you move, look at it as an opportunity to craft something even better e.g. try new fitness activities.
• Be realistic, moving will impact your mental, emotional, and physical health.
• Give yourself time to pause, think, reframe, and get things in perspective.

BEST MOMENTS

‘it took a little while to get out of that mind space, that I am not on vacation.’

‘Your new habit can be letting those good habits go.’

‘Stress is basically resistance, it´s wanting something to be different than it is.’
