101: PREFACE - Why the Status Go Project?! (Your Host & Her Why)

Insert problem - the average American doesn't think they can manage the cost and difficulties of travel, so they don’t.  Insert solution - The Status Go Project, showing you that you can and should.    Hey y’all, my name is Kelsey and I’ll be your host of the Status Go Podcast. I believe if more people felt like they COULD travel, they WOULD travel. The Status Go Project’s whole purpose is to help you with free resources so you can learn how to get abroad, in whichever way makes sense and works for you.    It’s normalized and encouraged in other developed countries for young people and people of all ages, really to take time to explore other countries and take gap years. I’m not quite sure why the US is lacking there, but it is. I want to make travel normalized for OUR culture not only because of the indescribable impact it has on the individual, but because the potential cultural impact is so important.    I want to give you a peek into the brains of those who have “made it work” both financially and in general so that you can hopefully learn enough/get the courage to take the leap on your own. What worked for me won’t necessarily work for the next person, and what works for the next person won’t necessarily work for you. However bits and pieces of our stories could. I think by telling stories of people who have found a way could help you find yours. There are so many factors that go into extended travel, and how those are going to be worked out is going to look different for everyone.    I’m super excited to travel on this journey with you and break the status quo.    I’ll see you abroad friends - get gone.
