India is an assault on the senses, a country of amazing colors, contrasts, and mostly, confusion.
And a country that can’t begin to understand until after you’ve been there, and one you won’t fully understand afterward.
In today’s episode, Trav and Heather break down their three-week adventure through India, telling you their favorite places they stayed, ate, and experiences they had.
From galloping on camels through a driving sandstorm to riding in a flashing neon tuk-tuk with a driver swigging vodka and trying to sell them textiles, these stories are ones that could only happen in India.
From hair raising drives up the Italian coast to tackling some of the world’s most scenic roads, Heather and I reveal our 10 favorite road trips of all time.
He had just graduated from college and couldn’t find a job.
Not just a fancy job based on his degree, but any job at all. After exhausting his search on job boards he started applying to Starbucks and Target, with no results.
He couldn’t get a job anywhere.
And yet now, he’s flourishing.
He runs ImpossibleHQ.com, a site focused around doing the impossible, both in the long term and every single day.
He runs a successful 6 figure consulting business.
He runs…literally, having finished ultramarathons.
He’s even spoken at Target’s global headquarters!
And today, he’s launching his biggest project yet, the 777 project.
We talk about doing the impossible, the 777 project, cold shower therapy, renting your place on AirBnB, and how becoming rich in non-monetary currencies can help you travel more while spending less.
I’ll take every single response into account, and…

The world teaches you to build your lifestyle around your job.
But what if you chose to build your job around your lifestyle instead?
Since Jason Moore has graduated from college, he has found many different ways to build a lifestyle based on what he loved most:
Travel…
And how to find work that allowed him to do it.
Today Jason joins us to talk about his early start traveling with the experiential marketing business and discusses how he was able to break into it and how you can too.
We then move on to stories from his journey hitchhiking around Scotland for charity and end with a story of travel mishap on his first backpacking trip to Europe.
We discuss how the love of travel is constant, why accountability is so important, what the #1 key is to finding budget alternatives for travel all while spending some time deciding who was the better business partner for The Paradise Pack. (it was Jason!)
The other side of fear leads us to the most exciting and memorable moments in our lives.
After hearing Akshay Nanavati speak onstage at the World Domination Summit 2014 for just a couple of minutes, I knew I had to find a way to get him on the podcast.
Luckily enough I ran into him shortly afterward in the men’s restroom, and despite the unorthodox location of the request, he agreed to come on as a guest.
This week Akshay joins us to continue our theme of adventure in travel by sharing his awesome lifelong quest.
It’s one of the most amazing ones I’ve ever heard in my life, and so crazy that you’ll just have to listen to find out what it is!
We discuss how fear affects our travels, the logistics of his great adventure, the parts that seem the most exciting, and of course those that are the scariest.
We also talk about how Akshay deals with people who hate on his quest and the benefits of traveling with local companies and how it can save you a ton of money!
What’s one terrifying thing you’ve done that leads to a great experience or memory?
