Did you know that AirBnB can MAKE you money while you travel?
Many of us have homes (or would like to have homes) that we still have to pay for while we’re out on the road. The cost of that can stop any of us from being able to travel the way we want to travel.
But Charlie knows a secret.
You can rent your place out while you’re gone!
She shares her experiences renting out her New York apartment while she travels the world, the ups and downs, and how you can do the same.
We also chat about some of her best tips for saving money on travel, the Rickshaw Run, and the most serious travel mishap that we’ve heard. Yet, she still travels on.
Do you have any questions for Charlie about renting out your place on AirBnB? Let me know in the comments and I’ll pass them along!

When we think of location independence we almost never consider running a brick and mortar business from anywhere in the world.
It is called location independence after all.
Charlie Grosso didn’t let that stop her.
Though Charlie travels the world participating in crazy adventures such as the Mongol Rally and Rickshaw run while earning part of her income as a travel writer and consultant, she also owns a business in New York City.
An art gallery to be exact.
Because honestly, why should the type of lifestyle you want to lead interfere with your passions?
Today Charlie chats with us about freedom, security, adventures, and location independence from the viewpoint of someone who wears a lot of hats. Owning a business isn’t easy, no matter where you live, so why not travel?
Yesterday Warren and Betsy shared amazing advice on starting your travel journey and finding a home base that you absolutely love.
Today we continue the trend of great advice and discuss a very important topic to me personally and I’m sure to a lot of you as well!
Relationships on the road.
Namely, making sure that you and your partner are on the same page, and happy during your travels. Because, as those of us who have traveled as part of a couple know, when you spend 24 hours a day with the same person in and out on top of the highs and lows of travel, tensions can rise quickly.
The advice that Warren and Betsy have to share on this topic is unbeatable for its wisdom and accuracy!
Do you and your partner use any of the tips that Warren and Betsy share? Different ones? Let me know how they work for you in the comments below!

Would you rather eat Thai food tonight, or go eat food in Thailand?
After seeing some of their friends having health issues in their 30’s Warren and Betsy Talbot sat down to a serious conversation to decide what they wanted their life to be like.
The next day they started Married with Luggage and laid out a budget.
And two years later they set out on around the world trip which has turned them to full-time travelers.
In this portion of our interview, Warren and Betsy chat about their decision to become nomadic, getting out on the road, and how, 4 years later, they bought a house in Spain to function as their home base.
With great advice that I know I’ll be following soon, this is an interview for people on all stages of their journey. From those considering the lifestyle to those who have been on the road for a while, there is something here for everyone!

You may remember us mentioning our friend the U.S. Diplomat who managed to wrangle our laptop back from India’s customs officials in our latest Travel Mishaps episode.
That U.S. Diplomat is our good friend Nick Hersh, whom I have known for over 20 years from back when all we cared about was learning how to talk to girls and getting our merit badges.
Who knew he’d turn out to become the most traveled of my friends and a U.S. Diplomat? And so useful to boot?!
Today Nick joins us to talk about his experiences joining the Foreign Service and traveling the world as a U.S. Diplomat. He discusses some of the red tape involved in becoming a Diplomat, the different fields that lend themselves to the job, what types of benefits and vacation time one can expect as a Diplomat, and (our favorite) some of his greatest travel experiences & mishaps.
If you have any questions for Nick please feel free to leave them in the comments and we’ll pass them along!
Nick is joining me this week because you guys have e-mailed me to ask about other jobs that take you internationally but that aren’t really nomadic. If YOU have someone you think I should interview or a path you’d like us to pursue please e-mail Trav@ExtraPackofPeanuts.com and I’ll do my best!
Has this sparked some interest for you in becoming a U.S. Diplomat? Help us spread the word and show other people a career path they didn’t know existed!
