Season 06 of Perceived Value is here and host Sarah Rachel Brown is kicking off the new season with recording a full episode solo to share about her recent travels to Thailand. This past May Sarah traveled to Southeast Asia to test out her digital nomad abilities and connect with her friend Ivy who was completing her gemology degree in Bangkok. Sarah traveled the country for a month solo while working remotely which allowed her to travel extensively with minimal savings. Throughout this month-long adventure Sarah shared her experiences online and many followers had questions as to how she paid for the trip and how did she feel traveling alone. In this episode she answers her most-asked questions, shares her exact costs and let’s listeners in on how she made this trip possible financially.

This conversation, originally released in August of 2020, features the director of Crafting The Future, Corey Pemberton. Perceived Value is partnering with Crafting the Future, a nonprofit working to diversify the fields of art, craft and design by connecting BIPOC artists with opportunities that will help them thrive. Listen to learn about who Corey is, why he co-founded this nonprofit and what he hopes CTF can achieve.
