184. The Accidental World Traveler Turned Author with Pamdiana Jones

Kym Tolson Episode 184

What happens when you say yes to the unexpected? In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Pamdiana Jones, an accidental world traveler who turned a spontaneous “yes” into a three-year solo adventure across South Africa, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii. With just $1,200 in her bank account, Pamdiana bungee-jumped (literally and figuratively) into a life of adventure and later captured it all in her bestselling travel memoir “When in ROAM”.

She shares how those wild moments, like being chased by elephants or getting shoved off a bungee platform, transformed her life and inspired her journey from waitress to award-winning author. If you’ve ever dreamed of taking a leap, writing a book, or shaking up your life, this one’s for you!

In This Episode, We Explore…

  • How Pamdiana became an accidental world traveler.
  • Budget travel tips from living on rice and washing clothes in the sink.
  • Her transformation from waitress to bestselling author.
  • The power of saying yes (even when you're not ready).
  • Why your story, no matter how messy, is worth telling.
