Wait But Why with Tim Urban


Click here to download this episode.

Falling down the rabbit hole is very easy when visiting Wait But Why. Tim Urban writes about any subject that interests him after embarking on a journey to learn everything he can about his topic. Many a project has been procrastinated on as I learn the in’s and out of a thing I never thought I’d be that interested in.

Today Tim joins me to chat about his experiences with Wait But Why, how he picks his topics, his research process, and how he loses himself in the learning.

A couple of years ago, Tim held a poll and allowed his audience to choose the route he would take around the world, visiting 5 countries over the span of 10 weeks and learning a lot about the local cultures. We spend some time going through some of the moments from that trip and the lessons learned along the way.

Tim Leffel has joined us on the podcast before through our Paradise Pack sessions to talk briefly about his experiences living abroad for half the price of the USA.

Today he’s back for a full-fledged episode where he shares some tips on becoming a freelance travel writer and discusses some of the best places to move if you’re looking to have a better living for a lower price.

We also discuss the benefits of having multiple income streams, and how, even when you don’t have to be, we’ve managed to stay cheap travelers at heart.
