About Tristan McBain: 

I am a full-time traveling nomadic therapist and coach. I had just graduated with my PhD and was on a national job search when the pandemic hit. My life as I knew it changed but I eventually saw there was an opportunity to build toward something I wanted even more. At the end of 2021 I left my home state to begin traveling full time. I eventually started my own virtual private practice, where I specialize in couples and sex therapy, and just recently started my journey into coaching for digital nomads.
