Nepal.

Just the name conjures up images of majestic mountains, incredible landscapes, and some of the world’s most enchanting natural beauty.

For many people, trekking in Nepal is a lifelong dream.

It certainly was for Jason, and last December, he was able to achieve it by hiking through the Himalayas for an entire month.

Today, he joins us to give a complete recap of what the experience was like (hint: amazing) and also provide everything you could ever want to know about the logistics of planning and pulling off a similar trip.

Everything from what route to take, whether you should hire a guide, and even where you should buy piyush (and what exactly it is).

Taking a Digital Sabbatical

by | Dec 15, 2014 | Podcast, Podcast Interview

There are great things about being a location independent professional.

But, as we’ve mentioned before, there are bad things too.

And one of those bad things is the attachment to our computers. To the internet. This needs to always be connected, to always be ready to solve any and all problems that come up with our businesses.

Yet there’s a solution. Jason Moore, host of the Zero to Travel podcast and often co-host here is BACK.

He’s been out on a one-month digital sabbatical. Today he joins us to chat about his experience, how he managed to arrange such a thing, and what he’s taking away from the experience.
