Life As A Nomad Attorney w/ Marc Weitz

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast Life As A Nomad Attorney w/ Marc Weitz 

Joining me today is someone who is known as “a nomad attorney”, who in the last two years has ventured through Pakistan and Iraq, driven from LA to Alaska, and maybe most impressively, took the Trans-Siberian railroad in winter, and who just published his third novel, He Who Fights with Monsters (wow, I’m tired just writing all of that out!), Marc Weitz.

Today’s podcast is sponsored by Oregon State University ECampus.

32 Lessons Learned From Five Years of Travel



Click here to download this episode.

Being on the road is a learning experience.

You learn about yourself, about the world, and about your partner in potentially illegal border crossings.

For the past five years Heather and I have been location independent, and for a while, completely nomadic and we’ve had quite a few mishaps along the way.

We managed to narrow the list down to 32 lessons to share, though we could probably think of hundreds! Really, you should have seen the initial list.

What’s your biggest travel lesson? Share with us at @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!
