    Que história linda.. Larguei meu emprego há um ano atrás, eu era Fuzileiro Naval Concursado, tinha uma carreira toda pela frente, Fiquei durante anos lá e a cada ano que passava eu ganhava mais dinheiro porém aumentava mais minha infelicidade, porque não conseguia viajar por muito tempo, apenas nas férias e eu tinha que ir p Belém ver meus pais, pois na época eu morava no Rio. E a cada ano que passava eu pensava "mais um ano sem ter vivido meu propósito" até que um dia eu chutei o balde, pedi meu desligamento, voltei p Belém, aluguei um kit net por 6 meses e comei a estudar TUDO sobre marketing Digital, hoje estou com alguns projetos olinne e acredito que ano que vem já vou poder viajar de forma sustentável e viver a história mais linda da minha vida como Nômade digital. Apesar de ainda não ter realizado esse sonho, eu sinto minha alma dizer "Obrigado por ter me escutado", e hoje eu sei como nunca que estou no caminho certo. As melhores coisas da vida só são obtidas através de Sacrifício e Disciplina e é por isso que a maioria das pessoas não vivem seus sonhos genuínos, pois elas não estão dispostas a passarem pela dor do sacrifício e da disciplina e também muitas das vezes elas não despertaram, esse é um despertar de consciência que todos tem em algum momento da vida, mas nem todos entendem seu chamado. E lembrem-se: A zona de conforto é o algoz dos seu sonhos.

    Very inspiring video. In fact I am going to do something very similar. In 6 months I am leaving with my cat to Thailand where I plan to stay for a year. I have experience with youtube, photography, video and photo editing etc. To tell you the truth, I still don't believe I can do it all. But there is nothing else left for me . The ticket is bought and the accommodation is paid for so ... There's no turning back 😂

    Love that you went out to follow your dream of a creative career, it's never easy to step out of your comfort zone.

    I resonate with so much of what you're saying. That moment of getting the dream job, but feeling sad about it. I felt the same way when I got my job at a start up out of school. I'm now looking to quit and live the nomadic lifestyle 😅

    This is crazy inspiring, and really brave of you! It takes a lot of guts to take a risk like that, especially when you don’t have a lot of money saved up. I have 6 months living expenses saved, and I still don’t feel ready to take the plunge 😅

    • @travelwithrafa

    Pretty cool story. I had very close experience. But I liked my job in a big accounting firm. I started to have customers asking me to do job for them outside of 9-5. I thought I will steal these customers at the end and make my own business, but willingness to travel was stronger.

    Very inspiring story and insightful definitely understand there were people tend to doubt you because they can’t understand what your thinking or how your possibly going to live the life you want but that can come from fear and wanting the best . But as you grow up you learn you’re not living for others but yourself . Congratulations on your journey I think it was just a lot of hard work and dedication and self belief that got you were you are now . Very inspiring

    Hi Rafa, thank you for the great video. I really enjoyed listening to your story. I just wanted to leave you a feedback regarding your audio. You need to reduce the gain on your microphone since your audio is clipping. While recording your max volume should be somewhere around -16 DB, that leaves you with enough headroom in case you get louder or move closer to the mic. You can then raise the overall volume in post production by normalization. You can easily find a short tutorial for the right mic gain and the process of normalization on YT. All the best :)

    • @travelwithrafa
      @travelwithrafa  8 месяцев назад

      Thank you Gerry!! I know it doesn't sound good and i thought of recording again after but i decided to leave this one like this and change for the next ones. Thanks for the tips :)

Enfim, estou pensando em criar conteúdo, mas estou super em dúvida se faço em inglês ou pt-br. Você tem alguma dica sobre isso? obrigada!

      @travelwithrafa  8 месяцев назад

      Oi Michelle!! Que bom que se identificou e te inspirei, comece a criar conteudo vc vai amar. qual seu insta/tiktok? Sobre se fazer PT/Ingles tambem foi uma questao para mim no inicio mas eu nao queria fazer com as duas linguas, eu conheco pessoas que postam assim e acho confuso para os seguidores e ate para marcas/conseguir jobs no futuro pq o seu publico fica dividido na minha opiniao. Ou se decidir fazer nos dois sempre faca nos 2 e nao faz as vezes em PT, as vezes em ingles pq ai que fica confuso. No meu caso decidi postar em ingles pq eu queria conectar com pessoas de outras culturas, eu ja morava fora do brasil e a maioria dos meus amigos era de fora (alem de familia e amigos da facul).. hoje tenho amigos que fiz pelas redes sociais de todos os paises e amo isso. Tenho seguidores de todas as partes do mundo e acho incrivel. Entao veja o que vc prefere e seus focos, no meu caso fiz a decisao certa de fazer em ingles na minha opiniao. e nao tenha medo de seu julgada pelo sotaque, sempre que recebo comentarios do meu sotaque eu ignoro kkkkk nem ligo mesmo, no inicio ligava agr nao mais hahaha
