Remote Roundup: Egypt Solo Travel, Building Intentional Seasons, Managing Daily Travel Stress, Creative Remote Work Workarounds (May 2026)

From destinations that challenge your assumptions to the routines and mindsets that make this lifestyle actually sustainable, join Caitlin and Janessa as they unpack what’s been on their minds this month.

Remote Roundup is a monthly series hosted by Zero To Travel’s associate producer, Caitlin Sunderland, and partnerships manager, Janessa Klatt. Explore what’s new in remote work and travel, including helpful tools and resources, need-to-know trends, destinations, and insight into what it really means to live and work around the world.

In this episode, Janessa reports back from a solo trip to a destination most travelers hesitate to visit alone, Caitlin shares a surprisingly simple tool for building calm and consistency into nomadic life, and both take a hard look at a habit nearly every long-term traveler has that might be doing more harm than good. There are also a few remote work stories from the community that prove people will go to remarkable lengths to keep living life on their own terms.

Have you ever talked yourself out of a destination based on what you’d heard, or found a way to build more balance into a life that never really stops moving? I’d love to hear your thoughts, and I hope you’ll share by sending me an audio message.
